Hey guys!! How long did it take you to get approval with Cigna insurance?? I'm scheduled for surgery November 19th and am sending all of my documentation in on Friday of this week...how long has it taken you to get approval??? Thanks!!

So does anyone know when they say at least 6 months what they really mean?

elyssa20 just wondering if you got your approval yet? My paper work was submitted yesterday.

Sadly I haven't sent all the paperwork in yet... I had a date set for November 19th which is what I thought was the date of the surgery...turns out that the date was for the endoscopy.. So now I have to wait for November 7th and have the endoscopy an send everything in AND THEN set a date for the surgery lol

It took about 7 days to get my answer from Cigna. I'm approved pending my NUT visit completions. I submitted early, knowing that might be the case. CIGNA has just placed my pre-auth on hold pending NUT info. I'm glad I did it that way.

Now I'm not on pins and needles. I know I'm approved and know exactly when I can be.

Cigna was really nice with me and my insurance coordinator.

Oh...one more thing about Cigna. The wording from your PCP has to state that they "clear you for surgery", not recommend...the word "clear" has to be used. They are very specific.

I just called Cigna to see about the wording of at least 6 months... The rep told me it has to be 6 consecutive months... That pushes me 3 more months... Wish it would say consecutive instead of at least. Ugh
