How long did Cigna take to respond to you?

[SleevedKat 2]

I'm curious to find out how long Cigna took to approve you for gastric sleeve surgery. My insurance specialist turned in all my documents on 5/18, I called Cigna and they said they received it on 5/19. I'm trying to be patient but I'm excited!! I called again today, 5/24, and Cigna said it is still pending like come on... I'm fat, approve me lol. Jk. I'm interested in hearing your story, please comment below.

LOL! Hang in there! I think they are usually pretty quick. Mine was unusual - submitted at noon on a Friday and approved by 10 am the following Monday!

My paperwork was submitted on 05/12 and I still haven't heard anything from Cigna. Like you I am very anxious

Have you called Cigna and asked for an update? I was told typically it takes 5 business days

Oh wow! I'm so sorry to hear that, definitely get on your insurance specialist to have all the paper work in. I stayed on top of mine, they probably got annoyed but I didn't care. We've put so much work in already(pre-op appts, 3 month diet, etc.) for them not to have things right. Good luck!

Yay!!!! I just received my approval from Cigna today!!! Surgery is scheduled for July 1, 2016. I am beyond excited. The approval took about a week. It was submitted on 06/06.
