Overall, I have to say that CIGNA was very good about approving me quickly and not jerking me around when paying the bills.

Call Cigna! They will let you know where your claim stands. If I hadn't of called, I probably wouldn't have gotten my first reconsideration done in time.

I got denied from cigna back in January because my 3 months of diet wasn't up to their standards so I went to an actual Diet doctor that works with biartric patients and insurance..finished my 3 months with them and resummitted to cigna last week. Just got a call from Dr that Cigna wants to set up a peer to peer because of denial in January. Im so scared I will be denied AGAIN!! I have completed everything Cigna requires except they weren't happy last time with the diet classes. How long after peer to peer where you approved? Did it take long time to schedule peer to peer? Ive been at this for 6 months and am so ready to start my weight loss journey!

I am officially approved for surgery this Tuesday! My surgeon's office had a peer to peer review and went over paperwork. My PCP had recomended surgery in January, so Cigna used that release and recomendation as a start date for my supervised diet...so I got the 89 days. It is now very real!

After the Peer to Peer it was pretty quick. They did it with my Surgeon's assistant and I was approved the next day

What is peer to peer??

It's where your doctor speaks with Cigna's doctor

I've got Cigna OAP and when I called them directly, they told me 90 days diet. I go to my last weigh in on day 96 just in case they don't know how to count correctly. I am getting all of my clearances this week and I've done all of my tests and labs already.

I'm curious how long Cigna will take to approve or deny? My surgeons office thinks that it will be approved quickly and have already made my pre-op appt. I hope and pray it works out that way!

Ive always heard back from Cigna within a week...both all 3 times denied! I've read a lot of post that they are super picky and nobody at Cigna could ever give me clear answers when questioned. Good luck to you and I hope my peer to peer meeting with finally get my approval!
