Insurance change in April. Arghhh!

So, I have just made the decision that gastric sleeve is what I want. I called Cigna, and my current plan will cover 100% once I get approval. Ok, I can jump through their hoops and do what they need me to do for 100% coverage. Today, I check the mail to find out our insurance will change to United April 1st. My first Drs appointment is on Feb 10th. So now what? Will I have to start all over again with new insurance April 1st? Has anyone else had this happen? I would like to have surgery ASAP. I'm sure everyone here pre sleeve feels that way too.

Call your HR Dept. to find out the specifics on the insurance. They might be able to tell you what your new insurance is going to pay. I bet they won't pay 100% like Cigna. Cigna must be some badass insurance. Most insurance makes you pay a deductible and a copay. Good luck to you.

This happened to me. Our insurance changes March 1st and the new insurance doesn't cover weight loss surgery. My current insurance required 6 months of nutrition so once that was complete my surgeon rushed things long. I am being sleeved in the morning.

Joyrokk, I bet you are really excited. I hope everything goes smoothly. Let us all know how it goes tomorrow. Good luck to you. That would be awesome if I could get sleeved before April. I better have all my ducks in a row if that's even possible. I do plan on calling the new insurance tomorrow, HR, the drs office and anybody else that could help.
