Insurance Change Month Prior to Surgery



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any experience with this? I've had Cigna throughout the process and my surgery is scheduled for November 1. On September 28th my husband's company informed the staff that a new insurance company was taking over on October 1st. I am working on this every day and we are hoping for the best. Initially they said if we could provide the approval letter from Cigna that they would automatically approve me. However, we never fully submitted to Cigna, that was set for October 1st. The new company is Fallon Health, they are located in Massachusetts which is where my husbands employer is based.

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Yes - Fallon wanted a longer pre-surgery time as I recall - I had done 6 months, I think Fallon was looking for longer than that. I can't remember exactly, but thankfully it all worked out. They paid it pretty much 100% after deductible.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
