Starting process... Switching insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi. We currently have Cigna... Worst ever! So my hubby is willing to switch and have 20-30 more a month out of his check to make it easier for me. Has anyone done this? Will there be a problem starting the process with one and switching to another? Thanks.

Why do you consider CiGNA "the worst"?

switching insurance might make you start all over again, as every insurance company has their own policy. You may want to understand this before the switch. What insurance does your husband have?

Why don't you like Cigna? I have Cigna and have had several employees get approval with no problems. I've gone through my 3 months supervised PCP visits and so far what they require isn't painful at all.

For our area they do not cover any phys eval providers. I would have to do out of network and all the drs want Cigna to fill out the paper work and Cigna wants drs. The co pays are very high as well even though we have met the deductible.

I am just starting out ... The new books r coming out so I'm going to see what Independent health offers. The specialty drs that are covered are few and far between.

I really think it has to do with the package your employer chose with CIGNA, and possibly the area you live in. My CIGNA is great and although I'm nervous about the approval part, everything up until now has been easy.

Good luck to you!

I totally agree with you! But I got great news I don't have to use their suggest phys eval. I go to someone who my insurance carries and they can do it! That made made my day yesterday!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
