Sherry, my approval was not that recent but it was approved and I had surgery on 11/21/02. Are you having any problems? They can take 30 days to approve you and can quite be annoying about the whole thing. Keep fighting, they will approve you. Good Luck!!

I had my surgery on Sept. 23, 2002 and I have Cigna PPO. I've never had a problem with them. You can always call and inquire about things nicely if you need to! Good luck and God bless!

OMG! I was just approved last week, after WEEKS of fighting them on it. Not on whether I qualified for the surgery but just to get the paperwork in the right hands. I spoke with people in PA, in Charlotte and Chattanooga and the left hand NEVER knew what the right hand was doing. I was VERY persistant and sometimes I think they approved me so that I wouldn't call anymore. lol...Not everyone goes through the same thing, so I hope you have an easier time which I'm sure you will. Good luck and the only thing I can offer is take notes (names, dates, what is said, etc) of EVERY call you make...

I was just approved last Friday and got my approval letter in the mail today with Cigna PPO. I dealt with the Texas office. I had my approval in 14 days. I had a great Rep. working with me.

My dr sent in my paperwork on 1/3/03 and 1.5 weeks later I was approved. I have Cigna(South Carolina) and we had to go through Intracorp. After speaking with a rep there the first time she gave me a name and fax#.
