They're both pretty much the same. No, you can't bypass the diet. Sorry. But, you can go ahead and start the diet and support group sessions now and get a head start for next year.
If you already have a surgeon or hospital in mind, that may help you decide. Cigna and UHC have different hospitals in network.

I had UHC HRA and didn't have any problems getting approved. I'm pretty sure you can't bypass any part of the requirements. I had to do the 6 months supervised diet and 6 months of counseling or support groups, but once that was finished I was approved the next day.
Good luck.
