Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hello I have been waiting to hear from my doctor about my insurance approval. Well I got a letter from Cigna today turning me down. I have went thru the whole pre-gastric deal, going to the nurtionist, the psy. and the gastric doctor. Cigna really gave me some rough things to have to go thru before being approved,and they are making it really hard because I am 100lbs. over but if I lose any weight at all my BMI will make it where I won't be big enough to be approved then, even though I am 232 and only 5'2 and big as ever! and miserable. SO I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. Any suggestions on what I could do about the denial? I know there are some web sites that I can go to that would help me in writing an appeal letter, would someone please send them to me. And any other info. you may have about what I could do. Thanks alot, Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
