recent experience with Cigna ?

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has had any RECENT experience getting approved through Cigna. Specifially I have CIGNA HMO and was most interested in lap band. I was reviewing the insurance section on cigna but most people's postings were a few years old... Just want to know what i'm in for... Thanks! Beth

Have you called Cigna to ask them what their requirements are? I have Aetna and that's what I did. I went to Cigna's site just now and I can't find a link for that surgery, but maybe I am on the wrong page. Here's a link you can start with to see if you can find anything. I tried looking under "G" gastric bypass, "L" lap band, "O" obesity surgery, "W" weight loss surgery, but couldn't find anything, maybe it's listed as something else or on another page. http://www.cigna.com/health/provider/medical/procedural/coverage_positions/medical/index.html

thanks for the info. I did check the website and it was on there under "bariatric". It basically told me that RNY would be covered but not lap band as it is still investigational. now i am bummed..
