home monitor

[jax]

well my doctor had no problem with me home testing and in fact wrote up a prescription for it today. I will be hearing from the QAS people on tuesday. Just wondering if anyone on the forum has cigna healthcare and if anyone has had a problem with them approving a home monitor. And also if you have gotten a monitor that cigna approved what was the out of pocket costs for the monitor and were you able to make payments for it?

Do you have a detailed list of benefits from cigna? Not all policies through the same insurance carrier are identical, so it would be best to get a copy from your employer's HR office.

no we haven't gotten one of those for years. i suppose that the hubby could go and get one. i know that we have one of the better plans through cigna but really that is all i know.

I went thru qas. What monitor are you getting. I paid 25% copay out of pocket. Strips are $40/3mos.testing weekly, but they just called and said I can go to every 2 weeks now. $2280 was charged to my insurance. It took awhile for the thing to arrive and for them to get someone to train me on it (15 weeks).

Cigna may buck you, but you need to be ready to buck back.
