Tips for CIGNA PPO Paperwork requirements?

[On2Thin 0]

I am preparing all my paperwork and six month history to submit to Cigna. My BMI is right around 40 (their requirement) but wasn't when I was on a medically supervised diet for 6 months. Do I have to show proof of all the times I exercised (like a fitness log)? Do I have to show proof of a food diary for 6 months too? I want to give them everything they require in the way they require it the first submission.....especially since they have only just recently started paying for Sleeve......any tips or advice on suitable documentation?

I will be watching this thread closely as I am about where you are for BMI, I little more right now and doing the supervised diet. I'm afraid to lose too much in fear of not being covered.I have 3 months to go before I can submit. I know they require a psych eval also. Good luck to you.

I too have Cigna. Tomorrow is my last physicians supervised diet weigh in. I didn't loose much of anything did you? I thought that was why I needed WLS anyways. I hope everything with you goes ok. I'm hoping to submit all of my paperwork tomorrow

afternoon.

I wish you luck !!!

I would make sure you check and double check everything before the submitting process begins. I wasn't told to submit a food log or excercise log. As long as your doc included your diet and excerise routine for the last 6 months. If u have anymore ?s call Cigna they will tell u what u need.
