> I live in the U.S. & have Cigna Point of Service health insurance. From what I have heard Cigna is notorious for refusing to cover certain medications (they recently refused the anti-arthritis drug Vioxx for my dad even though he met all the criteria & diagnoses for it.
>
> Since Provigil at this time is only FDA approved for narcolepsy, will they cover provigil if my diagnosis is Major Depression w/ Social Phobia, & Attention Deficit Disorder?
>
> Also, anyone have any stories about Cigna rejecting any of their psychiatric drugs?If it's an HMO I doubt it, but they have a website that lists what they cover I believe. If it's a PPO they probably will cover it.
