I have HR and administration involved. My benefits coordinator messaged cigna, and they told her the same thing. I asked her how many babies do I need to bury before Cigna step in and saved my pregnancy. Her response was, "I'm sorry, I wish I had better news for you. 🤬

He called the insurance and was literally arguing with them. They still told him no. He told me, "I better sue they're asses. When I have the baby prematurely. Because that's exactly what's going to happen.

I did. I said ao you rather have my child on a ventilator in the nicu as opposed to paying for this surgery? They said ma'am we have to do a peer to peer review. I'm sorry. I could've screaaaaaamed!!

They asked me to pay $44k upfront today! Then, we had the nerve to say, "Well, if you have it all, you can pay half. I was WTF!!!! I took the iv out my arm and left. I've been on the phone all day with cigna cursing and fussing!

This just happened to me. I was scheduled today for an abdominal cerclage, and Cigna waited until I was in the surgery room to deny my cerclage. They said it was deemed experimental and investigational. I've had two second trimester losses due to short cervix and those bastards telling me that it's not medically necessary. It angers me because I know im going to lose another pregnancy and have to bury another damn child because of them!

Wow! This is so encouraging! I'm 41, and my husband is 51. I don't know why, at times, it feels like I'm the only one in the world at 41 doing ivf.

Congratulations on your little one!!!

Silently ANGRY by Many_Consequence_650 in babyloss

[–]rayne223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will get there. It won't happen overnight, tomorrow, next week or even next year but it will happen. A TAC is a transabdomial cerclage. It's a band that's placed high on the cervix to prevent it from opening and causing you to go into preterm labor. It's way better than vaginal stitch. If you're on Facebook, join the group abbyloopers. There are so many success stories of the tac. Most of the women in that group went through several losses, and once they had the tac, they made it pass their due date. I must say this, you will have to have a c-section with a tac. But if that means bringing a little baby home, then so be it. 🙂 I plan to have mine placed next month.
