My surgery is on July 1st and is being covered by Cigna insurance. I just realized I forgot to ask if fills are covered by insurance as well? Does anyone know the answer? Are they covered, or do you pay out of pocket for fills?

Thanks!:ohmy:

Some cover it, some do not. You need to call your insurance company and ask. I have Anthem BC/BS and the surgery is covered, but my fills are not. Good luck!

I have Cigna and they do cover my fills. They used to require authorization every 3 months but they stopped doing that also. The fills are treated like a specialy visit/co-pay.

Thanks so much! I thought they would be covered, so I am happy to hear that they will. I honestly didn't think about it till today. Thanks again for all the replies!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
