kari61 128 Posted March 19, 2013 Good luck to you..I have Cigna and it took me over a year to get approved..My surgeon's office said Cigna is the worst..But they usually will always deny the first submission so don't get discouraged if they do, just try try again...

JonB 114 Posted March 19, 2013 I was approved instantly, but I was SERIOUSLY morbidly obese - diabetic, high blood pressure, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen35 283 Posted March 19, 2013 I've been trying since the first of January to get approved. They originally denied me because my surgeon was out of network. Since then it has been a circus getting the doctor changed (same office) and the pre-certification contact has to be constantly prodded to do her job. I'm so frustrated, but I'm getting there. I'm hoping for surgery mid to late April. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
