I'm APPROVED! Cigna 5 days!



Recommended Posts

I was approved today!!! Paperwork submitted 'Monday afternoon . I was approved by Friday at 10am. From what I have seen posted here, I was really worried. But It appears that those who are denied are denied due to missing documents or requirements. . If you do a search for Cigna Bariatric surgery, you will find a list of everything that is needed. I would make sure to check that before submitting. Good luck for all pending approvals!!

Wow 5 days! Congrats. I have Cigna too and they told me they require a 6 month supervised weight program before they approve. That sucks for me

Did you have to do the Dr supervised diet? That's all that I'm worried about!

Yes I did. I was so easy. Just a waiting game really. They just teach you to read labels and how much Protein you need to take.

Start with verifying your coverage and what Cigna requires.

Cb0419....can I ask you your BMI and co morbities. I have a low BMI and only two. Did Cigna call your surgeon with the approval and they notified you?

Oops CB I should have address that to the initial created of the thread. Still trying to figure out the site. Some posts are old and I am hoping those older posters respond to questions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
