Weight History Cigna



Recommended Posts

I'm right on the BMI line for the sugery, and I know I have to have a 2 year weight history submitted, does anyone know if it has to be a full 24 months, or say one weight that meets in 2012 and another in 2013. Or would I have to have the weight all of 2012, all of 2013 and then try for sugery in 2014? I hope my question makes sense.

I have BCBS Federal and they required a 2 year weight history as well except I was rarely sick so I didnt have 2 full years. I had data from 2008 and data from 2011. I wasnt as heavy in that data, but still obese and they had no problem accepting the data with a gap in it. I dont know how Cigna works but that was the one thing that I was most worried about when my information was submitted for approval.

Good luck to you.

I got a hold of my sugeron's office and the insurance person said she was pretty sure one from 2012 and one from 2013 would work.....I'm nervous to go through the 3 month diet and all the testing and then get denied....

I completely understand. I went thru a 3 month diet as well as the other testing. The insurance coordinators have seen hundreds if not thousands of cases and can pretty much tell when something is going to get approved or not. If she is pretty sure then thats a good sign.
