NEED INSURANCE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I have Cigna insurance through my work. They claim that they will not cover WLS----even with the morbidities that I have, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, history of family heart problems, etc............
I am very concerned------this surgery is not optional. Please help!!!
Is there an insurance company out there that will cover this type of surgery?
Keith, I too had Cigna at the time of my surgery (last year). They denied me three times... but I hired an attorney named Gary Viscio, with obesitylawyers.com. It only cost me $450 and he got cigna to pay EVERY RED CENT!!!! Please read my profile if you need more information (you can skip to the posts between 2/04 and 6/04 to get the low-down on the insurance fight). I HIGHLY recommend him!
Good luck, and don't lose hope!
