Finally received my approval from Cigna today. Can't believe it's real.

Me too! Yeeha! how long did it take to get yours? With regards to the 90 day rule.......they did not adhere to it.....but perhaps because I started the process before May 15th (?).......I only had 59 days with the NUT.......anyway, good luck to everyone!

Did everyone have multiple visits with the nutritionist? My doctor's office said I only need one.

You'd have to check your policy (call up your ins. co. and ask what is required)....I had the 3 visit requirement....some folks have 6......good luck!

My paperwork was sent in the 26th of June' date=' they supposedly wrote the denial on the 4th of July, so pretty quick. I just hope the appeal is as quick.[/quote']

They denied me the next day but I had another insurance to cover the surgery cost. Post op 2 days

This is slightly dated, but I too was urgently waiting my approval due to a limited surgery schedule. I explained that I would have to wait until December should I not get the dates I was shooting for and the surgeons office "penciled" me in. I received my approval and they set the date for sure. I ended up with a date 2 weeks later than I really wanted, Silly surgeon took a 3 week vacation. I'm his first when he gets home.
