Cigna 6 month Requirement Qs

I am wondering about the 6 month physician supervised program requirement.

The requirement says "6 consecutive months" with "no significant gaps".

So does that mean I will not be approved if I went to my doc for this supervision in May, June, September, October, November, December?

I missed July and August b/c of my doc's vacation and mine. I don't see that as a 'significant gap' but will Cigna?

Thanks!

I don't have Cigna, but their requirements sound very much like the requirements for my insurance. I could not let more than 4 months pass between visits. I ended up missing two months and still got approved. Hope this help! Good luck!

I called Cigna myself because I have the exact same situation, and the lady responded "It doesn't exactly say, so just submit it." :confused: I'm going to call again later and ask for someone else.

Hello, I do have Cigna and they told me if I missed 1 month I had to start over, It has to be 6 consecutive with no gaps.( aT LEAST MINE WAS) yOU CAN GO TO mycigna.com and you can read all about their terms in their on line handbook, that is what the lady at cigna told me to do. It explains it well.

I also have Cigna and I was told the six months had to be consecutive. If I missed one month, I would have to start all over again.
