I amo trying to stay positive. i am double covered through Cigna of coarse. My paperwork was submitted to my primary 08/24. My primary must deniy the surgery before my secondary can appove it. Now may paperwork just got to my secondary 09/07/12. Crossing my fingers daily!!!

Oh guys... youll love this one. I heard from Cigna today (9 days before surgery) to let me know that I have been denied once again.... because the letter from my primary care was written by the PHYSICIANS ASSISTANT and not the PHYSICIAN. Can you believe that!?! So I call my primary care doctor to get them to re-write the letter in a hurry and they tell me I have to come BACK in... pay ANOTHER co-pay and be RE-EXAMINED before they will write another letter. So... I called the cardiologist that my Bariatric Surgeon had me see to get a clearance for surgery. Now this was not something Cigna required so we didnt send the letter before... but they faxed me over the letter for "clearance" and I have sent it in to Cigna. They are pushing for an answer today but Im not holding my breath. 9 days from surgery and on a liquid diet... talk about stress... and I cant eat anything!!! HA what I would do for a reeses right about now! Will power, will power, will power.....
