Deron Wells, a 59-year-old cancer patient, faced a denial from Cigna for a double-lung transplant he was prepared to undergo in Chicago after it was initially approved. His wife emphasized the gravity of their situation, as this procedure represents their last hope against his stage 4 lung cancer. Cigna defended its decision based on clinical standards, leaving Wells and his family distressed. As they await a response to their appeal, support efforts, including fundraising, have begun to cover the transplant costs.
It's devastating to me, I'm really sad that my life is in the hands of these decision-makers who seem to make these decisions in such a cold way.
I hope Cigna really understands the seriousness of the situation. We're not just a number. We are talking about his life.
