Paperwork Submitted Today To Cigna

Hello!

Yesterday I went for my 4th and final NUT appointment and the nurse called me this morning saying she submitted the paperwork to Cigna. She said that at times they will call the patient first, and if they do call me, to let her know but she would let me know the status as soon as she hears. She said most likely by the end of next week. I have so much anxiety right now. I just pray I don't get denied. I would be devastated. She said that we completed all the necessary requirements and I should be fine, but I don't want to be that unlucky person.

I'm hoping I get to hear by early next week, but that's pushing my luck.

    I have Cigna and I was approved in 2 days. I was actually prepared for a week or longer as the company line is 15 days. Sending positive vibes your way.

Thank you! I hope I can be approved as quick as you were... the nurse said it would be tough to fit me for November as the dates are almost booked. She also told me 2 weeks, but I think it's to give them ample time, but when I called Cigna they said it's usually between 5-7 business days. I hope it's in 2! lol.. But I'm going to maintain with next Friday, so I don't get my hopes up. :) thanks again!

It can happen, hang in there.

When was your paperwork submitted? I'm hoping it can be approved by Friday, but I don't want to push my luck lol.. I'll just hope the latest would be next Friday. :)

Thank you! :)

My paperwork was submitted on Tuesday of last week. I got the approval on Friday.

Oh nice! Submitted on a Tuesday as well. :) Did you receive a surgery date yet? I know my center did everything Cigna required and they actually like to send extra paperwork so the insurance won't question them, but I'd hate to give Cigna a reason to deny me. I'm just trying to stay positive.

I do have my date, December 9th. So I have a few weeks to get things straight. I'm a bit of a control freak :-).

When I received the call from the coordinator, she give me dates for my last 3 pre-op appointments, 2 with the surgeons and my last visit with the nurtitionist. I'm very happy not to feel rushed with everything.

I called this morning assuming they were going to say it's pending but they said it's approved. She gave me the approval code and said they will send over the approval to the clinic. It took only 2 days from Cigna. How exciting! I'm just waiting for the nurse to call me so we can schedule a date. :)
