Talked with hospital surgery coordinator this morning and they indicated Cigna wants the 90 days to be under their weight loss Center. My PCP visit won’t count. So... surgery date was pushed to end of April, but, I had to decline that date day due to a destination wedding vac (I had booked a while back) being just a couple weeks after. End of May now. Just going to keep at the weight loss on my own and not lose momentum. Thanks for checking! Such a roller coaster ride. -

Wow... good for you!! Your stats are impressive too! I actually called my coordinator last night and mentioned I had a pcp appt in Nov if that would help my “case” at all and not have to wait another 11 weeks. Doesn’t hurt to try. Thabks for your feedback! -

I understand the timeframe issue but that’s not how it was conveyed to me when I first reached out to Cigna. Thanks for your reply. -

Thanks for your responses... I just wish they were more clear with me on my initial call and said 90 days vs “3 months of visits”. I’m going from 2/12 to potentially 4/30 as a result. And of course, just bought my “liquids” etc for my two days fast last night. Obviously not the end but just feeling deflated... thanks for listening/reading! -

Started in August but took a break due to illness. “Official” first visit was 12/19/17 so that was just 50 days ago according to Cigna. I’m going to reach out to them directly again later. Hoping I can make this work somehow. I had a visit in Dec, Jan and Feb. -

Was on the fast track doing everything right and got a call today my 2/12 date has to be rescheduled as insurance denied the claim. When I called Cigna, they told me I needed 3 months of visits, but they told the hospital 90 days. So now looking into late April. Bummed to be so close and get halted. Anyone experience similar?
