Starting process... Switching insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi. We currently have Cigna... Worst ever! So my hubby is willing to switch and have 20-30 more a month out of his check to make it easier for me. Has anyone done this? Will there be a problem starting the process with one and switching to another? Thanks.

Why do you consider CiGNA "the worst"?

switching insurance might make you start all over again, as every insurance company has their own policy. You may want to understand this before the switch. What insurance does your husband have?

Why don't you like Cigna? I have Cigna and have had several employees get approval with no problems. I've gone through my 3 months supervised PCP visits and so far what they require isn't painful at all.

For our area they do not cover any phys eval providers. I would have to do out of network and all the drs want Cigna to fill out the paper work and Cigna wants drs. The co pays are very high as well even though we have met the deductible.

I am just starting out ... The new books r coming out so I'm going to see what Independent health offers. The specialty drs that are covered are few and far between.

I really think it has to do with the package your employer chose with CIGNA, and possibly the area you live in. My CIGNA is great and although I'm nervous about the approval part, everything up until now has been easy.

Good luck to you!

I totally agree with you! But I got great news I don't have to use their suggest phys eval. I go to someone who my insurance carries and they can do it! That made made my day yesterday!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
