Our insurance is switching to Cigna from UHC on Jan 1. It's going to be the same policy, just Cigna as the carrier. I didn't have to do the diet with UHC, but I'm scared for some reason Cigna will make me.

I have cigna and they required th 6 month documented medically supervised weight loss attempts.

My co worker ha UHc and they made her do the six months

UHc doesnt require does it vary per state?

Hi,

I have Cigna and I am in the middle of the 6 month monitored diet at this time. Even at 484 pounds they would not make an exception.

If you google "cigna bariatric requirements" you should be able to find the pdf doc with the entire coverage requirements and prerequisites. I would have linked you directly but I cannot get to cigna.com at this moment.
