Could those of you with Cigna Insurance tell me about how long it took to have your surgery approved by them from the time it was sent in from your surgeon's office? Thank you---I'm trying to line everything up.....

Very quickly - less than 2 weeks. They initially said there was no medical necessity but then approved immediately after getting more info from the doctor. However, they make you go through a lot before the doctor can submit.

Thank you----I'm through with all requirements this Tuesday and will be ready except for that waiting part!

It was less than two weeks.

I received a denial at first... and was soo scared I wouldn't get it appealed in time before my intended date. But, they didn't make me appeal it.

I just had to send the missing info to their additional information department.

I faxed it off on a Thursday, was PRE approved Friday and REALLY approved on Monday

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!
