it took me less than 24 hours - but my surgeon's insurance coordinator has an excellent relationship with the Cigna pre-approval people (so I am told) and my result is probably not typical!

Oh wow! That's awesome

I have been told my insurance coordinator is also really great.. I am having the surgery with dr. Raul Rosenthal at the Cleveland clinic In Weston. Anyone else have their surgery there??

My info was submitted to CIGNA on 10/11/2013. I'm eagerly waiting for a response, but nothing yet.

About 6 business days

I got letter 10 days after and it took 2 weeks for surgeon's office to call to schedules

When I submitted to Cigna the first time, it took them 3 business days to deny it. I needed more time with the NUT. Next appointment with the NUT is November 4th and the paperwork will be resubmitted that day. Hoping for an approval this time AND a fast turn around.

Thanks for everyone input! I have a surgery scheduled with the office for the 19th so hopefully the insurance will go through before then! I hope it only takes 6 days for me too. So excited

I have Cigna and it took 7 business days for approval. I'm scheduled for the 19th too!

I'm with Cigna and it took me five or six days. Good luck.
