Took 7 days and got my round 1 denial. My doctor need to both clear and recommend me for surgery. He only recommended me (inferring that he cleared me too.) Not good enough, he needed to state both.

My nut submitted discussion of the three visits in one report; Cigna wants it in 3 separate reports.

So on the plus side, these seem like minor issues that can be easy fixed. On the minus side , it's disappointing that Cigna is so nit picky!

Mine was denied initially by CIGNA, also because my PCP didn't write "cleared" for surgery. It was corrected and a new letter submitted two days later. By weeks end, I had my approval. Hang in there, it will happen for you, too. Good luck!

Thank you! I hope these are easily resolved!

Submitted appeal on Tuesday. Hope it works this time!
