Submitted To Cigna Today!

I was denied by CIGNA today. So disappointed, i wanted to cry at my desk. But i was almost sure that they wouldnt accept my weight watchers logs/letter since it wasnt physician supervised. Did you have to do that also. My surgeon's office has a 3 and 6 month program that i actually started last month (thanks goodness) so i will completed that middle of January. But i think something is also wrong with the letter my PCP provided according to the CIGNA rep i spoke with. I'm really hating this and am sooooooooooooooo frustrated.

Best of luck to both of you!! Wish i were in your shoes right now.

i did the three months supervised diet with my doctor. he was so cool. he dictated my letter right in front of me and stopped recording to ask me what else they needed. even though i did the three months with my pcp, cigna still denied me because i didn't see a nutritionist (even though their requirements say either, or). so i had to see the nutritionist too and resubmit. then they approved me. it is such a pain in the a##. best of luck to you. i know it may not seem like it now, but the next 2 months will be over before you know it.

So the program I'm doing is with a NUT not my PCP so do I think that's acceptable?

[mommybo 71]

yes, it's either or, but they prefer the nutritionist.
