My paperwork will be going to Cigna probably next week....how long did the first time take? Thanks, Tracy

@ Tracy, My info was sent into Cigna for processing on May 11,2011. Cigna started processing on May 16th,2011. I was approved the first time on May 25, 2011. Not too bad....... but on the other hand It seemed to take FOREVER!!!!! (It seemed so long because I called every other day or so to check on it. )

I wish you all of the best wishes!!! I have my fingers crossed for ya!

Thanks! I've seen some approved in a few days...would love to get this done by end of June...my surgeon told me in Nov that after approval, he can schedule it 2 to 3 weeks later....we'll see....see you on the losers bench! Tracy w.

Cigna did tell me that if your surgeon's office requests an "expedited status" is usually around 72 hours. Mine was put in just regular status and then changed to expedited. You may want to mention that to your coordinator. Good Luck
