CIGNA DENIED ME AGAIN!



Recommended Posts

I'm sure yours will be easier. Mine is through a third party known as group administrators. It's cigna but Group administrators approves and denies and all that and cigna just pays. They are monsters

Unfortunately I can't call cigna directly because it's through a third party called Group Administrators. They do all the work and cigna pays. It's been so hard going through then because they have everything I can possibly give them... :( it's just like oh well we need this. We need more of this.. we need some of this. For example the first denial only listed needing pulmonary clearance blood work and lap band approval and operative report back from 2008. I get them all of that

Second denial. We need reason for removal and you gained a pound during your supervised weightloss.

Both of those things weren't mentioned in first denial. It's like why didn't they just put all that in the first denial? I appriciate your response I'm really just gibber jabbering. Haha. Congrats on your sleeve fyi I wish you all the luck with it

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
