[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed
Administratively Resolved] Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
Very disappointed with *** *** *** response because it did not demonstrate any competence whatsoever in investigating this issueI almost seems that it was deliberately missed
This complaint specifically states that the procedure that I am talking about and being charged for is "Artificial Insemination" NOT EBRYO TRANSFER
** *** states in her letter that EMBRO TRANSFER is not coveredI know that! We paid out of pocket for it
I suggest ** *** re-read my complaint and seriously and competently investigate the claims of "Artificial Insemination" which under question here is a covered benefitThe amount I stated in the claim which I am being asked to pay does not correlate with EMBRO Transfer either
Again, I ask that *** *** STOP participating in the frustration and agony of coverage of this benefit and investigate this case open minded and not for the interest of CIGNA
If more information is needed I will be happy to provide it
Once again, very disappointed with the level of competence and ignorance shown in investigating this claim.Regards,*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I received a letter from CignaThis letter fails to address the bills in disputeKaiser Permanente have produced detailed itemized bills indicating the services provided, and the amounts unpaid by Cigna (see attached) I have sent these bills to Cigna multiple times beforeThe bills are clear.
Cigna's letter contains generic explanation of benefitsThey do not address the billsThe figures under "amount billed" in Cigna's explanation of benefits do not match the bills in dispute, they correspond to a different claimCigna have failed to produce evidence that they have paid the items in the bill in full therefore ** legitimately maintain that Cigna have failed to pay
Furthermore, Cigna claim they simply ignored this case because the agent handling it had "retired" This is beyond irresponsible.
Please see the copy of the email from my employer's HR indicating that Cigna had agreed to a refundIt seems the company cannot maintain consistency within itselfbottom line is that this issue has caused great inconvenience as well as financial loss to me, solely as a result of Cigna;s mishandling of this case and lack of any effort to resolve it thereafter.
Prior email from my employers benefit :
