Well...when my papers were first submitted, they didn't like my DR's letter of medical necessity, so I was denied within like 2 days. Upon re-submitting, it took them in between 2 weeks and a month to approve me because then it had to go to the "appeals board" :thumbup: So in other words it would have taken way less time if I was approved the first time

Cigna sucks.... I used to have them and they played so many games to avoid approving my surgery... missing this... 90 days to review... missing this.... another 30 days.... totally awful.... they actually won the fight cause my insurance switched- new company approved it in one day.

I can't really say that cigna sucks but it did take a few months for my surgery to actually get approved. It's really not their fault though since the surgery centers that my surgeon used weren't in network. Once it was submitted to cigna with an in network hospital it only took 5 days to get the approval. I never had any issues with them paying once everything was done.
