Question:
Need assistance finding CIGNA network DR.

I live in Levittown, PA. and cannot locate a CIGNA-OPEN ACCESS Doctor in my area. I have called CIGNA and they can only give me Gastroenterologists, but cannot tell me which if any perform bypass surgery. I've checked around and it seems that no one does this surgery in my area. I figure I am not the only one who has CIGNA and has had or wants to have this surgery in my area. Please help....    — Pamela S. (posted on January 21, 2004)

Look on this site for the surgeons that are in your area. Then call cigna and see if they are in network. Most surgeons are listed as general surgeons in you insurance paperwork. Sometimes you will have to travel. The surgeon I used was 4 hours away and still in network. Just do some checking.
