SHBP Cigna Documentation?
Hey everyone I am so excited to see people are getting surgery dates. I did have a question for some of you more experienced people. What kind of documentation do you need to show Cigna that you have gone to the 6 months of Bariatric support groups? I am going to my first one next week. Also I know about the 6 month diet which I am in with my Dr. Was the notes from the Doctor good enough for detailed documentation of a weighloss plan and excercise? If not what kind of documentation did yall use? Also what else do I need to be doing to get ready?
Thanks in advance for your help yall are a great resource.

I think that what will be required for the six months of support groups is still being established. I was concerned about my doctor's notes being enough too. I just reminded him every month of exactly what I needed using Cigna's guidelines (weight, current dietary program and physical activity). I also made notes of the behavior modifications I had made and asked him to include that with my notes. I have seen forms posted on the Insurance Forum that may be helpful. I think that there may be one out there in the March posts. Good luck!
