I have surgery Dec. 10..

I have surgery Dec. 10..

Cigna approved mine very quickly. Submitted Friday at noon and approval by Monday morning. Just make sure you have everything including letter of recommendation for surgery from someone other than your surgeon.

I also have cigna and like Keke, had no problems once I got my 3 month supervised diet done, it was submitted and I think it was a few days when I got approved.

I have Cigna insurance... I am getting close to my Dr submitting for approval for surgery...how good is cigna at approving for surgery? How long do they usually take to decide approved or denied?

Well guys this is my 3rd day after my sleeve surgery and so far so good besides not being discharged today due to my heart rate. It's extremely high and I had to get an EKG, Ultrasound and now a CT of my heart. Praying everything is negative.

I'm so scared. I've jumped through major hoops to just find a facility and surgeon covered. My pcp has documented my weight loss and that she discussed diet and exercise but nothing more than that since May. I missed July due to work and she documented that bc they wouldn't let me off but I'm so worried I'll be denied bc her notes may be too vague. I have letters from her and the sleep study people highly recommending WLS including the surgeon and documenting all my health issues. But now I'm hearing Cigna is so hard to get an approval. My bmi is also over 50 and I have pcos and so many other health issues

I have Cigna to, and would like to know this to. I'm one week away from my final consult.
Very anxious.
