Guest guest Posted October 13, 2000 Report Share Posted October 13, 2000 Ok, I will try this again. Don't think I posted right the first time. I found out 2 days ago that I was denied after just faxing in Dr. R's letter the day before. The insurance co. told me that there was a clause in my group benefits that said no weight loss surgery would be paid for by Cigna. Has anyone else been down this road? Do I have any hope in getting this turned around to maybe being in my favor? My insurance is CIGNA HEALTHSOURCE OF NC. Not happy with them right now. So if there is anyone else out there who could give me a little advice on what to do from here, please post or email me. Thanks a bunch. I too want to do the dance and see what life is like on the other side. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2000 Report Share Posted October 13, 2000 Hi, put Cigna in the search field and see what comes up. A lot has been written about it lately. I had Cigna and was denied, I even hired a lawyer and complained to the NC insurance commission. Becuase it was listed as an exclusion (the exclusion was KK) I couldn't get them to budge. I am changing insurance this upcoming enrollment and have already been approved to have the surgery in January. If you can change plans for next year do that and save yourself a lot of aggravation. Cigna has approved for many other, but they were either self-funded plans or weight loss surgery was not listed as an exclusion. Good Luck. , Denver, NC > Ok, I will try this again.
