Cigna Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans

Seems to work flawlessly, although it’s odd that my supplement has a different deductible (higher) for the year than Medicare does. Medicare processing makes it all so easy and I get my report on payments making it clear.

This is paid for by my pension and they have been excellent during last spring serious hospitalization. There was NO large balance due after Medicare and Cigna paid the bills. I have had NO complaints from the last 5 years.

Cigna has the best plan that I researched. My RX for Inhaler was $80 cheaper than my last plan. I would recommend Cigna to any Medicare beneficiary. Never had any problems with claims. My doctor likes Cigna too.

The plan I have has several riders which made it attractive to me. It is basically an 'F' plan. Customer service answered my questions and gave us a discount because my husband & I have the same plan. My husband is a type I diabetic & coverage has been very good.

I have plan F. It has a high monthly premium but I do not pay copays and have not had to pay anything additional for out of pocket screenings or diagnostic procedures such as EMG, echocardiogram, stress ECHO, ER admission etc. I think you pay one way or the other. I prefer paying upfront. I hope the premium flattens out.

I am absolutely unable to file claims for service paid out of pocket because forms are not available online and HOURS of telephone calls and promises by Cigna to mail forms have been unsuccessful. THE WORST!

I learned that Cigna doesn't offer inhalers at Tier 1 or 2 levels. Be prepared to trigger the $445 Annual Deductible and expensive copays for Tier 3 and above medications needed to help you breathe. But the prize for price-gouging goes to the Brand and Generic medications which are priced at the same Tier 4 level. Before you enroll in a Cigna Part D Plan, find out which of your medications are Tier 3 and above... and if they are, perhaps you should shop your medications outside of the Cigna Medigap plans. Part of the problem is that CMS isn't policing Part D Plans aggressively enough. One Part D Plan might classify a drug as a Tier 2 while another one might classify it as Tier 3, 4 or not cover it at all.

I have spent hours on the phone with many, many Cigna people trying to get Cigna to honor my Doctor's bills from 2020. First they denied because they said they were not my primary insurance. Previously I had been on my husband's Aetna plan from his employer. He retired 12/31/2019. And ironically, Cigna has been paying his bills. Cigna contacted Aetna and confirmed our coverage with Aetna ended on 9/29/2020. They finally paid my eye doctor after 3 months and 3 denials.

The Cigna HealthSprings lures people in with their deceptive benefit package: prescription, OTC, Vision, Fitness supplements. Their OTC is the biggest rip-off. Their OTC catalog is extremely limited; the products are mostly generic, low quality, and far overpriced (for example: a tiny package of panty liners were $12 when comparable in-store brand name is much larger in quantity and size yet only cost approximately $3). Their Vision supplement/Superior has a $200 limit on eyewear and the only vendors allowed have prices greater than $500 on eyewear. It would be much less costly if clients paid out of pocket to a Sam's Club or Costco Vision; therefore, Cigna/Superior is useless.

Most everything about Cigna has been excellent. Very few claim problems or issues and good service when there questions. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because of the escalated premium increases.
