I have a Cigna HMO plan. I am more than 100 pounds over weight, BMI of 41 and sleep apnea. Has anyone been able to get Cigna to pay for the lap band surgery? I am in the early decision making process and honestly cannot afford $12K plus out of pocket. Thanks!

I'll gladly help with your questions regarding lap band surgery, please email your questions to SCR_isolve@cigna.com

I also have Cigna. I had to do the six month weight loss visits. My surgery is next week. Once these were done they sent in my paperwork and I was approved 2 day later. hope this helps.
