Anyone have Cigna Tn and or Amarichoice tncare?



Recommended Posts

Hello new to the site. And have many questions. I finished my last 6 month appointment Friday June 5, 2015 my paper work was submitted Monday June 8, 2015. 32y 5'3 @ 247lbs

I'm wondering if anyone who has Cigna TN could tell me how long it took them to get an approval back and how long did it take to get a date after meeting with surgeon? (I can't have appointment with him until after approval.) what are some of the thing you have to do after meet with the surgeon before surgary

Also if you have Amarichoice (tenncare) as a secondary did they approve?

@@Beautifulblue I have Cigna and their response time is quick. Within a couple days. I've also been denied twice and now I'm waiting on a peer to peer review between my surgeon and Cigna, which will take place tomorrow afternoon and then I'll know if I'm approved. Fingers crossed for both of us!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
