Waiting on insurance

[Jensukisses 0]

When you all say a 3 month req what is it like...for example..you meet with surgeon.. then you meet with dietician over the next 90 days a total of 3 times.. and thats it? So it has to play out over 90 days it cannot be any sooner ? Am I understanding that correctly? Tia

Cigna requires a 3 month supervised weight loss attempt. It actually works out to be 4 visits, each a month apart, because you need an initial visit to start the monitorig. Cigna requires the visits take place greater than or equal to at least 89 days. Here is the Cigna policy with all of their requirements. https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

Let me know if you need help decoding any of their requirements. I hope this helps!

Hmm, it works for me but I am also using my phone. Hm, maybe try a internet search for "Cigna bariatric surgery policy 0051 2014" and see if that will pull it up for you. You want to make sure you are reading the policy effective 05/15/2014.
