Worst Claim Story- April 2019

Jaycee Brown

Director of Communications

Calling CIGNA on an unpaid claim can be frustrating! I called on a build up for #30 to give the Cerec information to have it reprocessed(same day crown) and the rep told me that per Cigna guidelines they will not approve the build-up and it is considered inclusive too because the patient had fillings completed on teeth #28 and #29 same day! What?!

I asked to be transferred to a supervisor and waited for 30 minutes… hanging up and trying a new representative. Must have patience!

My patience paid off because the new representative I spoke to is processing this claim for payment!

Seriously how many people working in dental practices have the time for this nonsense. Luckily they have me and I won’t give up!
