If you have Cigna Insurance. How long did it take you to get your approval letter?

My paperwork was submitted Oct 4 and still no response from Cigna. I did call last week and was told by a CSR that it was "approved" but still pending. Huh? So I asked to speak with the Pre-determination department and was told flat out "it has not been approved...still pending :0( I hope to hear good news since they have kept me in suspense for so long LOL. Please keep me posted on your status...

Has anyone been told that only their surgeon's office can call to check the status of their approval/denial?

Ive been told 4 different things to date. I give up! Im just going to forget about it until the letter shows up in my mailbox. I'm still hoping to get this done in November but very deflated!

30 DAYS LATER!! I GOT MY CALL!! WOO-HOO!!

Congratulations!!!!! How exciting. Have you got a surgery date yet?

Thanks Hopethrufaith! Yes, I have to roll over to December because I am sheduled to travel on the date they have available. But I'm considering it my Christmas present to myself! I'm so excited! December 19th cant come fast enough.

I have Cigna and my doctors office placed the referral for me to have surgery on 10/26 my doctors office called today told me I was approved and my pre op is scheduled for Monday.. Mine went quickly...

I have Cigna and was approved in 3 days.

I think I was approved in 11 days. Then 6 months to complete all they required. Time goes fast though. Just make sure you keep your monthly appointments with the dr or you have to start over.

What??? I have Cigna and they told me the surgery was not covered. They were very mean to me and said they will not pay for my obesity

Sorry to hear that. Rude people annoy me also. Our employees must selected different CIGNA plans for us. I know end of the year is usually open enrollment time, maybe they have another plan you can switch too.
