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

They will tell u the exact reasons... yes they will send u a letter but they can find out fast. I'm sorry ur going thru this. The things that are required are specific and suck. But u have to follow them and the they will aoprove. I see it everyday it sucks. I. Sorry ur going thru this :*(

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 my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
