Hello, my name is Ann and I will be moving to Oklahoma in July, my soon to be husband has Cigna PPO and I would like to know if anyone has been approved for surgery with this insurance? If so, what type of surgery was it? Thank you for taking time to answer my questions. Ann
Hi Ann,
I have Cigna through my employer here in OKC. I worked closely with my surgeon, we faxed my information in and was approved in 24 hours. We were very thorough, my fax included MY letter to the surgeon outlining my weight history and diet attempts, plus my family history of diabetes. It also mentioned my sleep apnea, hypertension and other health problems that were weight related. Other information in the fax included the surgeon's recommendation, my pcp's referral, sleep test, pulmonary function test, and pre-surgery psych evaluation. I had the RnY and Cigna paid promptly.
I wish things were moving as quickly for my reconstrtuctive surgery. Just call me miserable Mendi!
