Cigna Insurance

My info was submitted to the insurance company on March 28th. Yesterday, my surgeons office called to let me know that Cigna sent them over a questionnaire to fill out?? Has anyone else had this happen?

I have Cigna and not sure about it all. Mine will be submitted sometime next week.

Maybe give Cigna a call and ask what's up? I plan on calling them often to make sure things are completed and getting done.

It sounds like you are Lucky, I have Cigna and our plan doesn't cover Bariatric Surgery. I know that some of their plans do though. I ended up Self Pay for about what my yearly deductible was with Dr. Illan In Mexico and feel like it was by far the better solution. Good Luck and looking forward to you getting approved.

Good idea. I'll call them tomorrow.

Aww, that's weird it doesn't cover it. I would have thought it would be the same.

Did you have surgery yet?

Yes I had it Feb 24th this year and it was a truly Awesome experience. I can't explain how wrong my views of Surgery in Mexico were. I got treated like Royalty. I am down 44lbs since the VSG 137 overall.

I have Cigna as well and am wondering what their requirement period is to get the weight documented and such.

Is it 3 months or 6 months??

I had gastric bypass March 8th. Cigna required 90 days or 4 months medically supervised weight loss. Starting weight plus 3 months after that equalling 4 months

I got a letter one day saying they needed more info from surgeon. I called surgeon 2 days later. Surgeon stated they had already received approval letter. I got approval in the mail the next day.
