Okay I lurk here all the time and never post so excuse my butting in. I am in the insurance field though so I know why Cigna is all up in your business so I thought I would explain why they are stalking you. The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) incents and penalizes Medicare Advantage insurers based on how many of their members receive their annual wellness visit. This is not really an annual physical but rather a more simplified services where they check your vitals and have a discussion to potentially identify health risks you may have. I respect your desire to have them be more hands off with you but just wanted you to know that it is actually the federal government that is making them run you down this way.

Since I work for an insurance company I just wanted to give my industry's perspective on this practice.

Welcome to the porch!!! Glad you joined us, grab a rocker and stick around!

Well on the morning news they had yet another lady here in town that received alleged burns from an ecig. Of course no explanation supposedly the manufacturers said a lot of time it is caused from using a cell phone cord instead of the provided cord which we know that any decent device the charge limitation is set by the board on the ecig. So I proceeded to send them a long message on their FB page about how all ecigs are not created equal. A convenience store ecig is not a Provari and how they never give any details on the problem and how they always put things like this instead of the truth about how many people this is helping getting off cigs and how I have been vaping since 08 and never had a battery problem or that the FDA has made it illegal to explaing battery safety and a bunch of other stuff. How many people have been burned by cigs inluding burning down the house. IDK if it will help but at least I gave them my opinion without really criticizing them too much except for their inadequate reporting.
Good for you! That is all so true!

One thing I did want to ask does anybody remeber the movie "Soylent Green" with Charlton Heston....what would possess a company to name themselves "Soylent"...read on....

I can just stumbled on a couple words but it is surprising how easy it was. You just have to remember the first and last letter is in the right place but the letters between while being all there are jumbled. And what it is saying that the way 55% of peoples minds work they can recognize a word by just having those 2 letters in the right position.
