Topic: Dr. Atkinson and Cigna- sharing my experience so far
It doesn't seem as though people really post often on the Nevada page. I have looked all through this site and found some great info. But I have not found alot about my Dr. or my insurance. I have Cigna. I did my 6 mo diet but was missing consecutive months. So the surgeons office had me do it all over again. While I was completing my 6 mo Cigna added a requirement. Now you need a BMI of 35 with comorbs for 24 months or 40 with no comorbs for 24 mths. I called Cigna and they said a letter from my pcp would be fine. I finished my 6 mo, all labs, nut, psych eval and sleep study. It took 3 days of calling to be sure all info was sent to the surgeon but today I was told that I can come in next week for my consult and set a date. I was concerned about Cigna as I have heard it was terrible to deal with. The advocate told me that when you have all the paperwork in order Cigna is no problem and she doesn't think I will have an issue. I am excited and kinda shocked that the 6mo went by so fast. So to those who are doing the 6 mo diet. There is light!!!!!!!!!

Topic: RE: Tricare Tummy Tuck Surgeon...
Hi-
Have you tried on base? I hear there's a plastic surgeon in town now that's the best at what he does. Since it would be on base, your costs would be lower than norm and to me, driving up there would be a small price to pay even if it is just to check things out before making a decision. Just me 2 cents for what it's worth.

Hello,
Take a look on the tricare website for a list of plastic surgery Dr's In the Vegas Area. They may not have any. You could make an appt with the Micheal Callahan Hospital and ask your Dr. I know they do "some" on base. But they are few and far between. At least they Dr. will be able to tell you if they offer any and could give you a referral.
Good Luck.

Topic: RE: B-12 shots and no insurance
I know my doc gave me a script for them when I told him I needed them since I had WLS. He isn't to familiar with the surgery and pretty much took my word for it.
I dont know what his doctors fee is for no insurance, I am sure you could call around and ask. Let me know if I can help out with anything else
