Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 : What a bummer! You sure are going to fight them tooth & nail. You go! Don't give up.....you're doing everything that ins. companies pray people won't do. Again, i hope the news cast will put some more pressure on them, esp. when they see you refuse to give up. I'm curious what they'll be saying in the news cast. Let us know. Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI > Hi all- Sorry for the obnoxious subject line but I am so angry at > CIGNA of NC that I could scream!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 , I can't believe they denied you again, especially after having Tim Littlefield helping you out! Ugh! I'm frustrated for you! Good luck with your appeals! Is there a way for those of us who don't live in your area to see your segment on FOX online, or at the least read the transcripts? Good luck to you and don't give up! Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > > Hi all- Sorry for the obnoxious subject line but I am so angry at > CIGNA of NC that I could scream!
