Insurance Q:

:thumbup: I was just wondering if anyone on here had cigna? I am on my dads insurance and I know cigna covers gastric bypass because both my parents had it done last year. I am just wondering if anyone has tried to get approved by cigna for the VSG yet ?

So far Cigna is not covering VSG. Their policy considers it "experimental".

This may change once the AMA issues a CPT code.
