Submitted To Cigna Today!



Recommended Posts

Well got denied. They said something is missing. The advocate at the surgeon's said not to worry. Have to resend and hopefully hear next week. Of course it wouldn't be easy for me. that's the way my life goes. Feeling kinda down right now. I hate waiting. :(

Mommybo, I have Cigna and the first time my paperwork was submitted, it was denied. It seems that wrong codes were submitted. I wish you luck and good health on your journey.

I think that this is probably common, that maybe something was overlooked or maybe a wrong code (aka cpt medical code for the procedure). Still praying for you! I belive this will work out! *Fingers crossed*

Gah! I wish, I got bumped another week, so now its Dec 5. I almost had a meltdown when the office told me that...but now its just a week away. #Nerves!

Our pre-op is very different, basically can have Protein and veggies up until 24 hrs before surgery, and then Clear liquids 24 hrs before, nothing after midnight night before...

I just get worried that I am not loosing enough (only down about 4 lbs since starting preop diet). The doc never gave me a number to loose, just said follow the diet. :S I guess in that regards i'm much luckier than some others who have to do liquid only for 2 weeks!

*sigh* just kinda want it to be here already so I can stop stressing sooo much about it.

It'll be here and over before you know it. My surgeon is the same way. liquids for just 24 hours the day before. I actually gained during this whole process, it's been so hard with quitting smoking!! I'm sure you'll do great. Keep me updated. 6 days left!

Will defintely keep you updated. Thank goodness I quit smoking when I was pregnant and didn't pick it back up, I know that is such a struggle for many people (including some of my siblings). I think that we will be just fine, as long as I just get through the next few days.

When is your surgery? Or have they told you yet since your approval?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
