This is my question - does Cigna require you have weight loss each visit? Because December was my only month of gain.

This could be insurance being insurance as I have been warned that Cigna claims they don't get items when they were sent to them.

Someone please offer some guidance as I am furiously upset tonight.

Thanks.
I would contact CIGNA back and advised that they take a look at those months again because there is no gap in months. Go back to your surgeon office and see what they sent in to see if they can locate any not of the sort. Something has to be a mistake here.

If they would have denied you because of the weight gain, then they would have told you that was the reason. I would call the surgeon office first thing Monday morning.
