I believe an approval is good for at least 6 months. I have CIGNA as well and was denied the first time for the same reason. It took about 2 weeks for the appeal to be approved. Good luck.

Did you have to have any preexisting medical conditions such as high blood pressure or sleep apnea for Medi-cal to Approve you?
I have Molina of Ohio Insurance right now and am trying to find someone that does the psych evaluations to be approved for my surgery in the Miami Valley so that I don't have to pay out of pocket..Any suggestions???
Re-Posted from the RNY forum
After reading lots and lots of posts on this site, I really can't say I'm surprised. I got the usual "Missing Paperwork" runaround. It's so frustrating because my surgery date is the 30th of this month (my surgeon is very busy and so they scheduled me back in April) Cigna has had my paperwork, all of it, since June 2. Now they say it will take 5 more days to give me an answer. I'm supposed to start my liquid diet on Monday!! Does anyone know how long an approval is generally good for? It could be months before the surgeon is able to fit me in if we have to change the date.
Cleaning out your closet is never fun. You can make it fun by donating clothes that no longer fit to our Clothing Swap at the OH Conference on August 15 and 16, 2014.
Need to go shopping for clothes that fit you? You can!! Go to our Conference and pick up clothes from the Clothing Swap.
Our Clothing Swaps are a favorite of Conference attendees. Don't miss out.....come to our Conference and SHOP!
