CIGNA POS (What am I in for?)

My wife and I both are planning surgery this year. We have went to one PCP visit to start our 6 month supervised diet that our insurance says they require. Anyone else dealt with Cigna recently and found any loop holes to get things done faster?

Be detailed with them. Make sure you submitt everything. If you have a six month diet or are doing one make sure it is from a doctor other then your surgeon and you go in monthly to get weighed. Some States do allow you to get past that requirement, like NY, CA, NJ etc. If you show you have a history of dieting and this is your last resort. Good luck. Gary

What about VA. do they allow you to get pass this requirement?
