Bluecare TN
If they have a patient portal go log in/register It should allow you an online look up of doctors If you can't do that call back and speak to a different person State regulations usually require you to provide an update to the provider directory once a year. Sounds like you got a bad rep on the line

CIGNA request for info should I be worried?
I work at ci That letter is a copy to you sent to your surgeon It basically means that they have requirements for approval (documenting your surgery type, diets, visits etc) and they failed to receive all the pieces required for the surgery requested Wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure that office insurance coordinator sends in everything they need timely

how did you pay your insurance deductible?
You are no longer insuring him so your employer reduces the deductible for a single person plan Your insurance has contracted rates meaning they get a discount form the provider charges If you have not met your deductible that bill for $1167.98 applies to your deductible and you have to pay that bill All services you receive go to your deductible from whoever the provider you see until you reach the $1600. So you may not have to pay the surgeon or hospital that $1600 because it could be met by another provider if service Further once you meet the deductible. You may still be liable for a % of the services rendered up to another amount. Thee amounts can be clearly communicated to you by your insurance carrier. Give them a call Ask about deductible and out of pocket maximum

Pre-op diet. Scary dream. Need any and all advice please!
Sunrise that's tough. Can you talk to your surgeon about some form of modified work schedule? I know part of the FMLA laws is you can have intermittent leaves or reduced work load etc. I am sure you don't work for yourself so if you can get the doc to help out with paperwork maybe they can send a helping hand?

Bariatric Bullies--You know who you are!
I haven't been bullied yet but still pre-op I've asked questions that have been asked before and get answers people are tired of giving. I have tried to do searches as well before posting something. But really people do come on here looking for validation they ate French fries ice creams and whatever

Pre-op diet. Scary dream. Need any and all advice please!
It's very hard for me when everyone is home as well. I decided to slowly adopt the pre diet by doing one shake every two days and now daily. When I am home with the fan it's hard I know you can't leave work but can you ask for a reassignment from your supervisor even for a few hours of the day? Maybe half with patients and the other half doing paperwork somewhere ? Or with patients who aren't watching what you eat?

wanna lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks
Can you get a pre op diet from your doc? You should be able to lose that weight with the pre op diet ?

wanna lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks
I am confused ... Did you already get approved by your insurance or do you still need to her approved? Are you saying your doc won't consider you for commencing the program until you lose weight first? Some insurances require up to 6 months of supervised diet and I even heard of some that take a year. Do you expect to have surgery this summer?

Cigna Center of Excellence 2+ hours away
I've worked there for 5 years The designation is based on numerous quality factors to get the designation. An outside body (multiple medical associations) may make their changes and recommendation and may affect a Cigna designation eventually. I would just call and make sure you must use or is it just a better out of pocket experience For many Cigna plans the use of center of excellence reduces your out of pocket Mine is reduced 10% for instance No affect on my deductible - just coinsurance
