Question:
Has anyone had good luck with Cigna PPO out of Western PA?

I have Cingna PPO insurance out of the Western Pennsylvania area. I am getting a little nervous. I have heard that Cigna isn't to good with approving this type of surgery. Has anyone had good luck with them and how long did it take for them to approve you?    — [Anonymous] (posted on December 23, 2001)

I don't know about Cigna PPO of Western PA, but I have Cigna HMO of Florida and I found them to be delightful! I met their requirements and provided all documentation, which I know doesn't always mean approval! I had my approval in 6 days. But, if the tale of cigna is true, they'll deny on first try and approve on appeal.

I have CIGNA PPO in New Jersey and have had no problems. My surgery was approved on the 1st request. Good luck.

I don't have Cigna and unfortunately cannot answer your question, but I also live in Western PA and just wanted to wish you "Good luck" and I hope everything works out for you! I would love to know who your surgeon is going to be and where you are located... Take care and I hope everything is smooth sailing for you!!!
