I received a call today at work from my coordinator at my surgeons office. She faxed over my packet to Cigna today. (YAY) I'm am super excited!!!! I can't think of anything that they could possibly want that I didn't put into the packet. If I'm defined it'll be out of pure hatred LOL. I have a BMI OF 62 (holy smokes batman) Hypertension, GERD, Mild Sleep Apnea, Hyperthyroidism, and Chronic Back and Joint Pain. I have done every study/test under the moon, I have my past five years doctor's notes, and letter of medical
necessity from my PCP and Surgeon. The ONLY thing I am concerned with is the way my old doctor wrote up my 6
month supervised diet. She kinda lumped it all together in one statement. That she had treated me for obesity from June 2009 thru January 2010. She included three office notes and a chart that I had from my personal trainer that listed my monthly weigh ins, blood pressure, heart rate and
pulse. She did talk about my dietary plan and what I did as far as working out was concerned. She basically summed up my six month diet into two paragraphs. Does anyone here know just how "particular" Cigna is with the approval process?
