Just waiting on cigna insurance approval and hoping to schedule mid October. Exciting and nervious. Only have to do a 10 day preop diet

Cigna requires a 3 month supervised weight loss attempt. It actually works out to be 4 visits, each a month apart, because you need an initial visit to start the monitorig. Cigna requires the visits take place greater than or equal to at least 89 days. Here is the Cigna policy with all of their requirements. https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

Let me know if you need help decoding any of their requirements. I hope this helps!

I am also waiting for a approval for the sleeve . ... philadelphia pa.. Healthpartners. I have the lapband now.

For some crazy reason I cant get the link t I work. .

Hmm, it works for me but I am also using my phone. Hm, maybe try a internet search for "Cigna bariatric surgery policy 0051 2014" and see if that will pull it up for you. You want to make sure you are reading the policy effective 05/15/2014.
