    Cigna denied.

    Almost same thing happened to me. It was due to the submitter who repeatedly left information out that was there adn got denied twice. I got supervisor involved to found the info and set up a peer to peer which got me approved, that God. Sent a letter to her bosses boss who responded right away. doctor couldn't apologize enough and all is good scheduled for 31st of july. they are suppose to be your advocates and she did not her job properly either to being under trained or over worked. my yelling and screaming did get me somewhere though. Good luck to you! Sue
  6. July 31st here. Just approved today. So excited. Almost thought it wasn't going to happen due to denials. Sue

    Congrats I have been getting run around too suppose to find out tomorrow after getting rejected first. Scheduled for 31st. Hope it happens Good luck and congrats Sue
  10. My insurance is being super picky no final approval date and surgery scheduled July 31. I was told to lose before surgery too started at 300 down to 273. Have hospital who does the submitting work their magic. They deal with insurance companies constantly, good luck Sue
  11. Scheduled for July 31 but insurance hasn't given clearance yet. Such stress. But getting excited. I can't imagine it not going thru given I did all the work and meet the criteria. Hopefully will know by Wednesday. trying to get on the weight loss challenge on this forum but don't know how. Anyone have luck. Its for nine weeks starting monday. Sue

    CIGNA really screwed up this time.....

    I am hoping what happened to you isn't happening to me. My docs office submitted almost 2 weeks ago and today Cigna said they didn't have all the info they needed and was going to deny (via letter) when everything they said was missing WAS submitted. The doc office is resubmitting today what was missing and hoping for approval. Just BS that they say stuff is missing when it's their in front of them to hold up the process. Very frustrated. Wanted to hear accepted this week since I did all I was suppose to and all was submitted. UGGGH! No guarantees I understand even if you meet all the qualifications. Just have to pray and be patient something I am not very good at. And why are they approving and paying 80% of all the prep appointments for surgery if not going to approve surgery. Crazy Sue
