Hey guys!! How long did it take you to get approval with Cigna insurance??

I'm scheduled for surgery November 19th and am sending all of my documentation in on Friday of this week...how long has it taken you to get approval???

Thanks!!

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.

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 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! 😞
