You might want to go to the main board and post this, there is a Yahoo! group called cignasqueakywheels or something like that. Anyway, it's a group of people who have dealt with Cigna and have lots of information they share on how to get approved. I have UHC so I don't know that much about the group other than it comes highly recommended. Good luck!

Cigna PPO approved me last week for laproscopic RNY. I was formerly declined for Lap Band, because they will no longer cover that.
