    I called twice asking if this was a discount plan or an insurance plan. I was told each time "This is an insurance plan." I made an appointment with a dentist located on their website. That's how I found out it indeed is no more than a discount plan. I'm so glad I found out before they took any more money out of my account. If it looks/sounds too good it probably is! You get what you pay for! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!

    I've been in a Medicare Advantage Plan for 5 months and am trying to understand my medical benefits. I have called customer service about 5 times with questions about referrals and copayments, specifically to find out if Cigna has different copayments for 'independent' facilities versus outpatient facilities for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. I'm familiar with other insurances using both and know that the copayments can be very different, depending on where you get the services done.

    Every time I call Cigna, I feel completely dissatisfied and frustrated with the information I've been given and feel like I've wasted my time. The representatives seem very unknowledgable and are not able to provide any answer that's not straight off the website, which I've already read and called to get more details. The one rep thought I was asking about in network vs out of network copayments and then told me the copayment would be between 0 and $195! I finally had her look up a facility for me and she confirmed that the copayment there would be 0, but I have no confidence that she really knew or even understood my question. I asked another rep the same question and he said it depends on how it's coded and I'll know when I get the bill!

    I've worked in customer service and know medical questions can be difficult because there's a lot of gray area, but I could usually rely on insurance companies giving me correct info. Cigna reps can't seem to answer basic questions. I feel like they haven't been trained other than told to just give info from the website. I feel like it's a waste of time to call them and usually feel worse after talking with them.

    I don't know who it is writing good reviews of this company. The customer service is horrible. I just spent AN HOUR on the phone with 4 different people just to get the name of an imaging facility covered by the company. 4 people. And this is not the 1st time I've had trouble with them. I can't wait to be done with them. Open enrollment in Oct - just sorry I have to wait until 2022 to get rid of them.

    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.

    In 2016 however, the U.S. government suspended new enrollment in Cigna Medicare Advantage health insurance and prescription drug plans, saying Cigna had “widespread and systemic failures”. CMS said Cigna did not handle complaints and grievances properly from patients who had been denied coverage for health benefits or drugs. Officials also found problems with its list of covered drugs and said it did not handle its requests for prior authorization and exceptions as it should have. Apparently, Cigna worked its way back into being a Medicare provider. Nevertheless, folks should be diligent and find out the exact copay --- every year --- for medications before enrollment ---every year during Medicare Open Enrollment October 1-December 7 annually. Nobody wants unwelcome surprises.

    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.

    Another bill in dispute is from 10/2020. After several other calls and appeals filed, the last thing I was told was that the doctor didn't present the bill soon enough. This is **. The doctor had to resubmit since the initial request was denied because they thought we still had Aetna. I had no idea this was happening until I started receiving bills from my providers. This is ridiculous that my physicians are having to wait months to be paid. I am sick of Cigna and when I am able am going to switch companies.

    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.

    The Fitness plan gives a few options all a joke (for example, gym passes are for one month only and have to be requested monthly). Just applying for these benefits requires clients an extreme amount of time to surf through for best and less costly options. Cigna prescription plan is just as frustrating and time consuming; nothing about it makes it easy to find the best options and cost for medications. They just charge and allow vendors to charge you whatever they want. You have to find the cheaper options on your own. The Customer Service is almost useless in assisting you.

    When I signed up last year and call Cigna Medicare nobody could find me in the system. Most employees did not know what to do either. This year they did send me some of the information and the new cards but not for the dental and nothing for the vision. I will have to contact them again and hopefully I'm in the system. It's pretty bad I will change my insurance pretty soon.

    My prescriptions were not delivered by the mail order pharmacy. Cigna refused to allow my prescriptions to be refilled even though I had been without them for several days. They blamed PillPack (the mail order pharmacy) for holding up Cigna's refund and said they would not authorize the local pharmacist to refill the prescription until they were reimbursed. I was on the phone for over two hours in two separate calls. The first representative was very nice and obviously was trying to contact the various departments at Cigna. The second representative kept denying that Cigna was blocking the prescription even though that is what the pharmacist told me. They want me to call back again for a third hour.

    One would think ** wouldn't be a problem for insurers. I didn't have a problem having it covered years ago from a different insurer. I recently signed up for Cigna's drug prescription plan under contract with Medicare. They declined to cover the $20 it cost me for my 30 day supply. Why? Because. That's right. No answer. ** is the -only- medication that would quickly cure my illness, yet they declined to cover it - without-explanation and it took them 3 days to do it. I paid for it out of pocket immediately because the pain I was in was physically debilitating. I am paying Cigna every month along with a substantial annual deductible, for them to decline the very first medication I desperately needed and was prescribed. I will seek other coverage.

    This insurance company cares nothing about people. They claim they do, but they really don't. Their "together all the way with you" marketing motto is such garbage, that it makes me sick! Besides it's not even true in actual execution. For example, my 87 year old grandmother is being denied coverage for a hip fracture, which Cigna is claiming isn't medically necessary. She needed X-rays at first, and will probably need to undergo a hip replacement surgery since it hasn't healed fully after almost 5 months. Cigna however, is saying that she does not need the hip replacement surgery because it is not medically necessary.

    They claim that she just needs more time to allow the hip to heal, even though it's been 5 months of excruciating pain, on her part waiting for her hip to heal. Her primary care doctors say that she needs this surgery, her orthopedists also agree that a hip replacement surgery is medically necessary for her. Only Cigna is saying it isn't medically necessary though, just because they don't want to pay for the procedure. They're basically attempting to find any excuse not to cover it, even going so far as suggesting that the doctors misread the X-rays in the first place and that her hip isn't really broken.

    I guess the bean counters at the insurance company know more about a patient's medical symptoms than qualified doctors do.... even though those same bean counters haven't even assessed my grandmother's health. This insurance company: Cigna is a total scam, not one I would recommend to anyone whose elderly relatives rely on compassionate and ethical medical coverage from a morally responsible insurance company. Cigna is none of the above: they are clearly not ethical, do not care about patients and show no compassion towards them, and have no moral compass whatsoever.

    Do not enroll in medical coverage with Cigna, for any reasons. You will get taken for a ride and basically swindled out of your insurance premium dollars and the company will refuse to stand behind the same insurance products and services it offers to the public. My grandmother is going to end up losing everything she has now, and simply because this greedy insurance company: Cigna wants to save a few dollars at the expense of an elderly woman's health and medical care. And hopefully the company won't try to whitewash everything either, for example "I'm sorry to hear about your negative experiences, let me look into this for you...."

    No way, don't believe it for one minute either! This company: Cigna had countless opportunities to "look into this matter all along" and make things right for my 87 year old grandmother (who is unable to write this review herself because of her severe arthritis). But still, don't believe Cigna's cliched responses for any reason. They only post standard "sorry to hear about your bad experiences" type reviews to try to minimize the impact of the bad publicity. Just don't fall for it though, don't fall for their tricks of exercising major damage control to minimize the impact of the bad publicity. This company is terrible, has no morals or scruples, and their business (especially their Medicare plans) thrive on taking advantage of the elderly. Please don't say that you weren't forewarned before signing up with them...

    Every time I turn around this company adds a cost & deductible. It is my opinion that if you pay for insurance it should be for the customer. Thus, I see commercials of them paying most likely exorbitant fees for Hollywood actor/actresses to sell them. I for one, get turned off as common sense should tell customers that this is a crock as these people can afford just about any cost. They are a joke. Additionally, if this were to be put aside those fees may help lower the deductibles and costs of the plans. If you work, you are able to keep up with fees, when retired. Try it!!! And even having the plan is not a guarantee of covered expenses. They can choose. Also, a board of doctors choosing what you get for your health is obnoxious. They do not know each patient individually!

We simply rely on them because they have hacked into our governmental systems and forced their way into our lives whilst simultaneously lobbying against civilized public options for single payer healthcare.

    Cigna is a great plan and excellent value except for one thing, their association with SilverScript. We do not have anywhere near what other people our age have in prescriptions but we pay as much or more than any of them. The stop gap on this plan is too low and the out-of-pocket after that is way out of line for any senior on fixed income.
