I will be having bypass surgery hopefully in October. My insurance company (Cigna) denied my claim for a sleep study. Has anyone been able to proceed with surgery without the sleep study.

That is really weird they denied the sleep study but approved your Surgery? Sounds odd to me.

Cigna denied the request from my Dr, I had records of a previous sleep study that was done when I had Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Ask if you qualify for at home study, were you do it yourself.

I tried it twice and it sucked. May work for you.

I'm on track to have surgery by November. My sleep study was just denied, too.

Cigna said it wasn't medically necessary. They said an overnight stay was not warranted and a request for a home sleep study would have been approved. If that fails then I'm eligible for the overnight stay. I wish I had known that from the beginning, I would have had this done straight out the gate.
