Hey!!

Hi again. I guess we are almost neighbors. I live in Ethridge. May I ask what insurance you have? Terry

I have Cigna POS through the State of Tennessee.

This is getting interesting. In what department do you work. I work for the State Of Tennessee also, in the dept. of health and I have cigna POS. Terry

BTW, some of you may think I'm a male with the way my name is spelled but I'm female. Guess my Mom wanted a boy but got a girl so she just left the spelling the way she had planned. Terry

I'm a teacher in Maury County, so I get state health and retirement, but I'm not techinically a state worker.

I see. Well I guess we will be working with Cigna at about the same time. I was told at the seminar to expect to be turned down the first time so I'm prepared for that but I won't give up. Terry

Yes, I expect it, too. I started seeing the GP in Novemeber, hoping they'll consider that my "six month supervised weight loss" yada. We'll see. I wasn't able to go in December, so I'm sure they'll make me start re-counting in January. I'm prepared to write the letters and such. I'm going to get the name of a dietician and go ahead and see one to get a full-fledged diet plan to use and keeping a log of weigh-ins each week that I'll submit when they say no. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. It's just like working for the state or teaching school.

LOL......you're so right. Shuffing paper!! I started my weight ins with my PCP in October but I had already seen a dietition back in June. I'm sending that to the insurance also. I think I will have to write the letter for my PCP. I really like him but I don't think he will spend much time writing the letter and I want a good one. Terri
