Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Way to go with the approval !!! I will be going up against Cigna very soon. I live in N.Carolina and have Cigna (HMO). I, too, have quite a lengthy document pulled together. If you have any hints, I'd sure love to hear them ! Bye, Donna " Lee Anne Krause " <romanstenseventeen@ To: duodenalswitch yahoo.com> cc: Subject: WOO HOO... 08/17/2001 02:15 PM Please respond to duodenalswitch I have been silent hear, but had to share. I was denied twice. Yesterday, I had a teleconference with Cigna's greivance committee and they started off by telling me that they were impressed with how thorough my appeal was. I had a good ten plus minutes of notes to go over, (processes that I have gone through, criteria: bmi, co-morbids and diet history) but I didn't get to finish, because they heard enough to convince them. One nurse said that I should be proud of myself for making it so far. WOW. They called me five minutes later and told me that they overturned the denial. This is too cool. AWESOME timing, because my husband and I are leaving for a vacation in Amsterdam Tuesday night. I was hoping that I would know before we left, but I knew the same day. WOO HOO, thank you God. I'll be having the Lap DS in September or October.
