I have had my colostomy since September of 2021. As of 1/2/22, I can't find a company in my insurance network. I had Medicare and now I have Cigna, and I have tried three different companies, and none take Cigna. I am so frustrated. I go to all the trouble of giving them all my information, and then two days later, they tell me I am not in their network. Does anyone have Cigna that can suggest a company I can use?

Have you called Cigna and given them a list of suppliers to see if they are in their network? I would think that would be better than calling all the suppliers and having to fill forms.

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days.
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!

4 dogs, look at my profile page since that's the only place I can post a picture. It shows a list of ostomy supply companies on Cigna's website. I presume that means those are the ones Cigna uses but I'm not sure. And if you can't see it, let me know.

Thank you for that, but several on the list are the ones I applied to and two days later they called me and said they were no longer in the network. 180 Medical doesn't carry Coloplast products, CCS is no longer in their network, and Byram is no longer in their network. I have tried Adapt but I haven't heard back yet. I read reviews and they have bad reviews. I am desperate, so I will go with them if I have no other choice. I will try Edgepark because I haven't tried them yet. I appreciate you putting that list up.
