    I've had Cigna since 2019. Usually able to work out any denials or referrals. Recently moved and did all the required notifications and plan changes. Even though in same state county coverage was different. Went to new primary Care physician only to find out I had no coverage. 2 days on phone and 5-6 people and still no insurance! Thank goodness there's only a month left before I can change. Such poor service. Filed a grievance and had to explain it every time with no results.

    From a facility's/provider point of view! Cigna Healthsprngs Medicare is worse than UHC! We have been a provider with them for over 20 years. Cigna never sent anything to recredential with them or told us we were no longer a provider! They just quit paying our claims staring this year (2025). At first they would pay a claim on a patient for one DOS, then deny the next day and then pay for a DOS after they denied a DOS. This has been a pattern up until May 2025. All our claims say that the provider is not eligible for services. We can't ever get a representative on the phone that speaks English! We can't get any response via email!

    I have tried calling to speak to someone if their credentialing department, but I am told they do not have one! We are at the point that we are going to have to start asking our patients to change insurance companies if they want to continue services at our facility. We are also in touch with our representatives in our state to take legal action if needed. Cigna Healthsprings Medicare used to be one of the best Medicare replacement insurance companies but when you constantly are changing ownership it will affect your business as well! So, my advice to anyone who wants it, if you leave in the state of Alabama do not use Cigna as your insurance company!

    My employer decided to offer this insurance to us and it's been nothing but a headache. 8 times out of 10 when my doctor orders a test that is needed, Cigna denies it saying it's not medically necessary. They have denied 55% of my prescriptions so I've had to find other ways to get them at a discounted price. This is the worst insurance I've ever had. Do not get this insurance!

    The customer service is so abysmal, it boggles the mind. The website doesn't work. I was unable to retrieve my user name from a profile I set up a decade ago. Phone support wasn't helpful, and the automated phone system took 3 calls to connect me with someone. My new insurance didn't show up under my profile and there was no inbox to send a proof of insurance. They would not email this and don't mail it in a timely manner either. The onus is put on the customer to navigate a broken system. The company has no accountability for their poor technical set up.

    This is in Part D Medicare. First off they don't pay for anything. I just had open heart surgery. So it's obvious that I've reached the top tier. Still Cigna garbage company pays nothing but expects you to send your payment in every month. Stay away from this garbage company that uses overseas phone people you cannot understand. For next year I've dropped them and I'm not telling them all Medicare Part D sucks because the govt doesn't care about us but Cigna is just one of the worst.

What should have been a simple process. I spoke with 3 different Reps at Cigna. All spoke broken English. Had me on hold for 10-15 minutes while checking on information they should know, I finally get an appointment, see the In-Network Dentist only a week later to get a letter of denial, I call.

    I get someone I halfway don't understand, I am told I need to submit a letter of Appeal, The error is not mine!!!!

    Cigna Saver RX Prescription Drug Plan for 2025 has been a terrible experience for me. Cigna Health Services Corporation purchased the Cigna Medicare business in 2025. In April, they moved one of my drugs from Tier 2 to Tier 3. That resulted in my paying full price for the drug. After many phone calls, messages, and letters, they agreed to charge the Tier 2 price. They issued a rebate, but not for the full amount that I had paid. Changing the formulary after people make their open enrollment decisions is unethical. In November, Cigna rejected a claim for a different drug. After I submitted the insurance claim to my doctor for authorization, Cigna denied the claim for that drug—and for another one! Of course, I switched plans for 2026. Beware: Cigna/Health Services Corporation will become HealthSpring on 1/1/2026.

    Updated on 01/24/2026: This is my second review and it is getting worse and worse. I had a hip replacement in 2024 and had to pay out of pocket an insane amount of money. After that I had PT in a Northside Hospital and they helped me tremendously. Now I have another issue in my SI joint and Cigna does not pay for in Hospital PT anymore. They offer you tele physiotherapy from their own company. What's that? You have to make exercises in front of your TV. Nobody will control or correct your exercises. That's even worse than PT with all these chains like Benchmark and so on.

    I guess they will have to pay for another surgery in the near future. Nothing else will fix this. The pain is unbearable in the meantime. I am not able to follow my daily tasks anymore. If you have the choice DO NOT CHOOSE THIS COMPANY EVER. This company is mainly owned by BLACKROCK - They don't have any interest to get you up and running. They just want your money.

    Original Review: It all started when I had my hip replacement one year ago. Out-of-pocket costs are skyrocketing. I had to pay some thousands out of pocket. Now they denied my physical therapy in a northside facility. They tell you to go to an outpatient facility. I had a hip replacement with huge complications and I am happy to start moving after one year after surgery. These outpatient PT facilities have no clue about messed-up hip surgeries. They just do their standard program, which they do on EVERY patient. There is nothing personal or caring. Helpless in my case. Great insurance. I personally would NOT choose them.

    If you like getting a nervous breakdown choose Cigna! I chose Cigna for my dental/vision insurance, when speaking with the rep for an hour it seemed like the ideal plan. He assured me any cleanings and routine x-rays would be covered 100% regardless if the dentist was out of network like mine. I made a copy of my whole policy and first cleaning they only paid a third of the cost, nowhere does it say that. A filling, which should be 80% covered, I am going to receive a few dollars back because now all of a sudden there is a deductible I never heard of. When you try to speak to a customer rep be prepared to lose your mind, the AI robot keeps repeating itself, I kept getting numerous numbers to call ending up with the same stupid robot...it was a nightmare. Zero customer service and they lie. As soon as the last claim is processed I am cancelling.

Her claims were approved and paid, mine were purported to be "Out of Network" and not covered, all for just a cleaning. After contacting the dentist office and claim was re-submitted, same result from Cigna. After calling multiple times to Cigna and being assured situation was resolved, NO CHANGE.

    After posting the review, I was contacted by LetUsHelpU and after I sent them the results of the Level 3 appeal, the wheels started turning. Within 2 days I was contacted by Cigna that they had processed the pre-authorization and the my medication was available for pick-up at my pharmacy. Thanks for the follow through that finally got me the approval I needed.

    Original Review: Nov. 4, 2025

    I went all the way to a Level 3 Appeal before I finally got a Fully Favorable decision on a prior denial of coverage for a prescribed medication. No one could “accept” a PDF of the judge’s decision. Unable to move forward with the judge’s order for the Part D Plan to pre-authorize the medication. Transferred from person to person, who each verified my name, DOB, address, email, and callback number. I was on the phone for a total of 2 hours and was unable to accomplish anything. Terribly frustrating and disappointing.

    Simply the worst, uncaring, unsympathetic. Customer service is worthless. I have been promised return phone calls that never happened. My surgery was denied twice because of a clerical error regarding if I was a smoker. I completed a blood test to prove I was not a smoker. The test proved I do not smoke. Results were provided to Cigna, only to be informed that the results did not arrive in time, denied again. A patient cannot speak to the staff physician because of Cigna protocol. Cigna staff (medical and RN) are there to deny for the sake of profits. Perhaps Cigna medical staff should review the Hippocratic Oath.

    I have had Cigna Health Insurance for 2 years through the Marketplace. It has progressively become horrible. They do not approve medications, do not have doctors needed in specialties, do not show all the doctors who accepts their insurance online, approve medications and don't apply my out of pocket which would make it a zero co pay, requests the same informations from my doctors over and over when they have called in, faxes several times and still cannot get preauthorizations. They have call centers everywhere but trying to get to a manager, director or someone in the USA is impossible. One person says they will call back and never calls back, the next says the same and the cycle goes on and on.

    This insurance is hell. I pay Over 340.00 for horrible service, cannot go outside of network when they do not have a physician in network I need. I've never seen an insurance company deny medications toward the end of the year like Cigna does. They are terrible. Stay away from this company. You can't even call Corporate office. They stay hidden in the background. This is the worst of the worst company for insurance I've ever experience in decades. Find another one. But stay far away from Cigna Healthcare. They don't care about you, they don't help you, they don't care if you are left hanging with no answers. It's shameful I have to call and get every country except the USA then you can never get in touch with the last person you spoke with.

I was told that it was because it wasn't medically necessary but the doctor's office can normally work with insurance to get it taken care of. So I get a call today from my vein doctor and now Cigna doesn't even cover varicose veins. Absolutely ridiculous. I am so sick of these ignorant insurance companies making it impossible to get treatment. I can't wait for open enrollment cause ill go without insurance before I pay these crooks my hard earned money for nothing.

    Healthcare costs are getting out of control, and Cigna is part of the problem. I appealed a claim that they didn’t fully cover, and they aren’t willing to help negotiate the bill down nor cover more of it. My 9 month old daughter went to the ER, as recommended by an on call nurse for spiking a temperature of 103F. We went to Children’s Hospital ER, as per the recommendation and time of evening, and the PA who treated my daughter said “I wouldn’t get excited until 105F.” She gave some ** and that was all the medical care received. We received a $1544 bill, reduced to $900 after insurance adjustment. Children’s Hospital has not provided a billing rate or sufficient rationale for coding this visit as a Level 2. This is predatory billing. They also are not willing to negotiate to a fair cost. $900 for ** is unconscionable.

    I appealed to Cigna to help negotiate down or cover more of the bill, since it is completely unreasonable. Cigna denied my appeal and told me I’m responsible for the $900. When I called to seek understanding, I was told that there’s nothing they can do. I have friends under United Healthcare who didn’t have to pay a dime for this type of visit.

    I have had an extremely negative experience with Cigna Health Insurance. Although my deductible showed only $30 remaining, I had to pay approximately $5,000 out of pocket because of numerous hospital bills about the rest of amount that were not covered. Even after additional visits to other hospitals, my deductible did not decrease.

    I contacted Cigna multiple times to ask why and was told to pay first from my pocket and then submit claims for reimbursement. I submitted claims through their website, but each claim was rejected — seven times in total. At first, they said they needed CPT codes. These codes were clearly listed on the bills, but I found that their system requires a separate text document containing the codes, which is not mentioned anywhere on their site. I provided this, yet my claims were still rejected.

    When I called for assistance, Cigna representatives told me I needed to submit “billing statements” that supposedly contained all the required information. I contacted each hospital to obtain these statements. Many assistants from their billing department were confused by the request, as they routinely provide itemized bills rather than the type of document Cigna was demanding. One large general hospital provided what they call a “billing summary,” which I submitted, but my claim was again rejected—this time for missing “diagnosis codes.”

    Small hospitals did not even know what a diagnosis code was, since their billing teams do not handle those codes. I called back to hospitals and was transferred repeatedly between departments, none of which could provide a definitive answer. Some hospitals said they could only provide itemized bills, not such billing statements and never heard of this kind of story. At the general hospital, after repeated contacts, I finally obtained diagnosis codes and attached every document available from the hospital. I filed yet another claim with every documents I can get, including the new 'diagnose code' they requested. Cigna rejected it again, this time saying they now needed a “new CPT code.”

    This has been going on for more than six months. I have made countless calls to hospitals and endured long hold times. I have submitted seven claims. I have wasted significant time and energy, and spent about $5,000 out of pocket, with no clear guidance or resolution from Cigna. Based on my experience, I strongly caution others: using Cigna has been a costly and frustrating mistake

    If I could give zero stars, I would. My husband has been in severe pain and needed an MRI. After weeks of fighting with Cigna for approval, their customer service representatives and even his doctor’s office both told him the MRI was denied. Out of desperation, and because he couldn’t wait in pain, we ended up paying out-of-pocket for a second MRI order.

    Later, we found out that the original MRI had actually been approved the whole time. That means Cigna’s incompetence and misinformation cost us hundreds of dollars unnecessarily. Their lack of communication, untrained representatives, and complete disregard for patients’ wellbeing is outrageous. No one at Cigna takes responsibility, and every phone call is a different story depending on who you talk to. When people are suffering and in pain, this level of negligence and disorganization is absolutely unacceptable.

The weekend before the surgery the company denies covering me for this surgery. I have a physical job that requires my arm to actually function and I barely sleep due to the pain in my arm. Without this surgery my arm is not going to get any better. In fact in time it will likely get worse. If this company does not alter the decision to cover the insurance and more damage comes as a result. I will sue this company for the damages for every dime I can possibly sue them for.

    Cigna customer service is absolutely terrible. My wife tried for 3 months to get an MRI approved and she had to cancel and reschedule 3 times because Cigna kept saying she needed to do with or without contrast, then they said she needed physical therapy notes, then they came back and said the facility wasn't in-network, after that Cigna told us we needed a Dr. note. After all of this the claim was finally approved on 8/29, 2 days before our plan deductible would reset. She had an appt. with the provider on 8/31 but was told by them that it hadn't yet been approved. We finally received a later of approval the week of 9/1 (after the plan renewed) so now we're responsible for more of the cost since the deductible is $0.

    The worst part is I was trying to get something done about this by talking with 4 different Cigna support reps and they all kept saying the same thing, almost as if it was scripted. They seemed unwilling and unable to do anything about the situation. I am so frustrated with Cigna and will be doing everything possible to get better coverage (employer provided).

    Cigna denies almost every single drug necessary to my survival, as well as denies imaging requests by my doctor. I have been on the same medications for going on 20 years, but Cigna doesn’t evaluate your medical history or care. They have denied med requests and imaging, regardless of very detailed explanation from my physician. Cigna also sent my personal information to the wrong address and faxed info to the wrong random hospital I’m not affiliated with and see no one at that location. Now my personal subscriber number and medical information, employer info is floating out there.

    I expressed this to the “authorization team” who had attitude and was very rude and wouldn’t listen to me explain that they’d sent my information to the wrong location and had the wrong phone number and just how could they have had correspondence with my physician if they had the wrong info? The hoops and rings they make you jump through for simple things proves they want to ware down patients until they give up. I have never had such horrible coverage for how much our family pays in premiums! If they don’t trust your physician to know you best and request testing they believe you need then why are they in the healthcare business? Because they aren’t! They are in it for their own bottomline and to deny as much care possible so prescribers get more ill and suffer or die.

    They think people get MRI/CT scans having to pay $500 just for fun and they’re not “medically necessary” and need “further medical necessity review”! But they’ll send the information to the wrong location and then treat you horrible on the phone after you’ve waited on hold for 25 minutes and transferred around. The first heavily accented individual was polite, but the “customer service rep” told me she “doesn’t have time to wait on the phone to my physician to get correct information.” She told me “you’ll have to contact them to correct this information.” She also said “this information came directly from your doctor”.

    I chose to give CIGNA zero stars. I am an oncology patient that has been fighting cancer since 2007. I just got married and went on my husband‘s insurance which is CIGNA … huge mistake… I am in treatment every three weeks at a hospital in Boston and been on life-saving medicine since 2013. I got a call from one of the nurses at Cigna that they are changing my care plan from going into the hospital every 3 weeks to having my treatment at home with a nurse coming in to administer the medication… I work in Home Care. I do not want this model of care… I work full-time and do not have all day every day to wait for a nurse. In addition, they want their pharmacy to provide the medicine.

    This insurance company is not trustworthy and I don’t believe it would be the same medicine. I will be getting a generic form. You cannot play with my life like this…. I have stage four cancer, been stable, work full-time except for Fridays when I go into treatment. I do not trust this insurance to give me the proper medicine that I have been receiving. That essentially is saving my life … It is very clear to me after speaking to the nurse that they are only interested in saving money…. I have cried for days, begged my HR to allow me to go back on the insurance that I had zero difficulty with, but cannot enroll until January because I don’t have an extenuating circumstance….

    These insurance companies are messing with doctors and their care plans to save money so the company and CEO can be reap the benefits .. This is not OK…. I am so worried that I will not be able to get on insurance and Cigna will deny coverage…. Honestly, I was warned about CIGNA and now I’m reaping the consequences and crying all day every day because I am so scared of not getting this medicine… Again this medicine has kept me stable. Please think and research before you subscribe to this company. My medical bills are atrocious since I’ve been on my husband‘s plan. Cigna only cares about saving money. They don’t give a damn about your medical issues or your history…. Please run from this insurance. Your health depends on it.

I was sent this: The covered drug is ** injection. Records do not show one of these: 1. You tried it, but it didn't work or caused an issue; or 2. You cannot try it per the drug's FDA label or because of a health reason.

    Surely they knew this before making me wait over a month and then telling me to resubmit the same prescription for approval. Why was I not just told this at the beginning? Tonight I tried to pick up a prescription for ** which is also not covered?

Cigna confirmed the auto payments by email, but the premium payment didn't process for some reason.

    On 7/9/25, I received a notification that I was passed due, which confused me, but I immediately made the payment and went through the autopay process again, which was subsequently confirmed by email from Cigna. However, when I made this payment I paid the full dollar amount - the monthly family premium is $1752.22, and I inadvertently paid $1752.00, leaving off the 22 cents. Cigna has now cancelled my insurance for this de minimis error, and I still don't know why the original payments and the autopayments did not process. Now we are without health insurance.

    Please stay away and keep your sanity and peace. It has been nothing but an absolute nightmare since I have started using Cigna's "Health Insurance", if you may even call it that. They have third parties process all medical and vision services. Their customer service line is extremely unhelpful. The providers that they show as in network, may not actually be in network. If you start a rightly submitted fraud case, they will not follow up with you. If requesting a supervisor, you will not receive a call back nor will you be able to reach a supervisor on the phone.

    I have prior experience working with health insurance, their practices lack attention to any detail. Just because your plan may state that many of your benefits are $0 copay, does not mean that Cigna or their third party affiliates will process it that way. You may have to fight tooth and nail everyday for them to correct their mistakes. It has been 4 months, with no resolution for myself.

    On top of that, they have no way of reaching their third party processors. I have called many times and when they attempt to contact their third party processor the customer service employees at Cigna do not have a correct number to reach their third party processors. They have failed me in everyway they can. I unfortunately am very aware of this because I have worked in this industry, they just do not care and no one will follow up with you if you need assistance.

    2. Wait times to “help” with pre-authorization is 1-2 hrs per call to be told that you will receive a call back in 1-2 business days.
    3. Nearest In-Network PT is 18 miles away and I live in Chicago. Per Cigna you can have the In-network PT issue a GAP form to “potentially” approve a local PT after a first visit.
    4. Confused, untrained and overwhelmed Customer Service reps. I’ve been issued incorrect information about coverage on each call I’ve made.

    5. Denied - Be prepared to have your claims denied. This is the last thing you want to see when you are in pain and trying to get the care you desperately need for healthcare. You pay a lot of money to have.

    I’m sorry, I’m a patient person but the experience I’ve had with Cigna has been terrible.

    I didn't in my wildest dream think that it would be my insurance company that would deny me the treatment as recommended by my Dr. Three times denied. And why? They won't admit it, but it was purely a financial decision. I don't know how these people sleep at night. Hopefully, I can find an alternative treatment that has even close to the success rate the suggested treatment did. I guess eviCore Healthcare that is contracted by Cigna, just made a pretty penny by denying me my treatment. How do you sleep at night?

    I have called Cigna Customer Service eight separate times about a claim from April of 2024 for Anesthesia for a Surgery I had. They say each time they haven't received a bill. Almost every time we have a 3-way discussion with the company. 'Everything is resolved'. I get another bill. I have met my out of pocket for 2024 so don't owe this bill but am being threatened with collection. I asked to speak to a Supervisor at Cigna today, none available, the CSR told me I had to call the company because they never received a bill even though on the previous phone call the Cigna CSR went step by step w/ the vendor as she submitted the bill. This is a bogus response. The bill is over $4000. I am almost 80 years old and don't need this aggravation. The CSR also said she would have the supervisor call me, that didn't happen. My credit is being threatened and it is stellar. I am going to call again tomorrow and demand to speak with a supervisor.

    Cigna's processes have gotten much for complicated and unnecessarily elongated over last few years. This results in crucial medications taken forever to be approved and are often denied, even though clear documentation is provided for the medical necessity. In today's AI-driven world it should not take a health care company months to review documentation and medical history and need only to deny the request. Cigna needs to drastically improve and shorten their processes to benefit the patients not themselves.

    Dealing with Cigna has been an incredibly frustrating experience. I have out-of-network benefits, but actually using them feels nearly impossible. Submitting claims is a nightmare—the website is glitchy, confusing, and often doesn't work properly. I’ve had to go back and forth repeatedly just to get basic claims processed. The whole system is exhausting, and their online tools are anything but user-friendly. For a company that charges so much for coverage, you'd expect better infrastructure and support.

    Cigna is absolutely the worst insurance company I have ever had. Unfortunately, my company chose Cigna as its insurance company. They constantly take too long to complete any claim, constantly ask for medical reports that were attached to the claim, and constantly deny claims for no reason at all. When you ask them to send money directly to the provider, they constantly send it to the wrong place, and don't follow instructions on how the provider wants it sent. I have two claims with them now that have been opened for 3 months with no hope of completion. I call multiple times a week, and the customer service individuals say they are "escalating" the claims, but nothing changes. They are the worst company.

Horrible Experience After 30+ Years with Cigna. I've been a loyal Cigna policyholder since 1993, but after this recent experience, I’ve lost all confidence in the company. In May, I received a notice that my premium would increase by over 50% starting in August. I immediately contacted Cigna on May 26, 27, and 28, making six calls in total to try to change my policy. Each time, after lengthy verification, the representative would tell me they weren’t licensed to assist Hawaii residents and someone else would call me within 24–48 hours. No one ever called.

    The following week, I made three more calls, but got nowhere. The questions during verification became ridiculous—asking if I lived in a house or condo, or if my number was a landline or mobile. One rep even hung up on me when I asked for a supervisor. When I finally spoke with a supervisor, she transferred me to the dental department and promised a callback the next day—Friday, June 6th.

    I did get a call from Kimberly **, who said she was with Cigna and would resolve everything. After four hours on the phone, nothing was resolved. She said she’d take care of it by Monday. She didn’t call Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Nothing was fixed. My wife and I had no choice but to cancel our plan and request a refund. We were told it would be processed in 10 days. It’s now been 18 days, and still no refund. She decided to go with Hawaii Dental Service and within five minutes she was covered. This company is disorganized, unprofessional, and not equipped to serve Hawaii residents. After decades of being with Cigna, this was an infuriating and disappointing experience. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Save money get quality care and go with Hawaii Dental Service.

They have a consistent pattern of denying necessary medical care that my doctors have recommended, forcing me to jump through endless hoops and appeals just to get basic treatments approved. It feels like their primary goal is to avoid paying for care rather than supporting their members’ health.

    Their customer service is equally disappointing. Long hold times, rude representatives, and getting transferred repeatedly with no resolution seem to be the norm. Every time I call, I get conflicting information, and no one takes accountability for the mistakes or delays. When you’re dealing with health issues, the last thing you should have to fight is your insurance company. Unfortunately, with Cigna, that’s exactly what you’re signing up for.

    I requested my policy to be cancelled in early June of 2025 because I had replaced Cigna with another provider that better met my needs. Since I knew they had processed the payment, I requested a refund. The only acknowledgement I received was that the written request had been received. Two weeks later, I still had not received final confirmation. Upon calling to find out what was happening, I was informed that my account was closed but they were still using the funds paid through the end of the month to process claims. I tried to explain it was illegal to have 2 active policies and that I had expected some refund. They did everything except tell me that there would be no refund. Effectively, Cigna stole a month's payment from me. Do not trust this organization with your insurance needs. They obviously are crooks. Also, if you were not aware, Cigna is selling this division.

    Cigna does not have good customer service especially their representative Alyssa and has a lot of inconsistencies! I am from a provider's office. We are always referred to their website for claim information. However, the website does not provide the correct information so I have to call and ask for a representative to talk to. Payments to the provider always go beyond their processing period. Cigna needs to send their representatives for a refresher course on how to courteously deal with inquiries about claims pended and not paid.

    This representative and most of their other representative does not know how their system works. She cannot even answer my question why the claim for an adult prophylaxis and a periodic exam remains in pended status for more than 10 days! All she can say is that they are still within the processing period then told me "what else do you want me to say!" When I asked for her for me to speak to her supervisor or someone who knows more, she kept quiet. When I said "hello" to see if she's still on the line, she replied "I am here". When I ask if I will get to speak to her supervisor, she gave me the silent mode again. I have to hang up as I have to do my other task at my office. She never said anything else to help me out. What kind of treatment is this, Cigna? Then, you ask us to refer to our other patients to you? No way!!!!

    I have a Cigna Florida Connect Bronze CMS Standard. I am due for a routine colonoscopy. Yesterday I went for a pre screening consultation to an in network doctor and had to pay $100 as a specialist fee. It said on the website that the pre-screening consult would not cost or, at the most would be $48. Now I'm trying to get information on how much I am going to have to pay for the routine colonoscopy. The doctor, who is in network, does his colonoscopies at an two hospitals (I have had that happen before for a mammogram and ended up paying $400) or one outpatient surgical center that now I find out isn't in network. I am all set up for this.

    With Cigna, you think you have everything covered, going to an in network doctor and then you end up getting a bill because you didn't realize that things that I am mentioning now are not part of that. I have a $7,500 deductible that I never meet because I only get preventive health but half the time I don't even want to do that because I always ended up paying so much out of pocket, I think I might be better off without insurance. I called Cigna and it took me an hour with three different representatives who sounded like they were at out of the country call centers to not be able to answer my questions or who were just looking up things on the website that I had already done myself. I am just trying to get an idea of how much money I will have to pay to have a routine colonoscopy by making sure I went to a doctor who is in your network.

    I am so tired of Cigna. I have not been able to get eye drop medications I needed because they were $300 a month, I pay for everything I need done which makes me not want to get any kind of health care. What a waste of $380 a month to pay for insurance when basically I get hardly anything covered anyway. I just want to find out how much I'm going to have to pay for a routine procedure. I would never recommend Cigna to anyone. I fear if I ever have a major situation, I'll go broke even though I have insurance.

We met with top doctors that said these drugs the doctor wants are the right drugs to use for her situation. All I get is the run around. They say it is peer reviewed but I asked the other day if it was an oncologist that reviewed the claim. They told me of course it is NOT an oncologist. With this the doctors reviewing the medication do not know what they are looking at. Plus when they say it is reviewed it is less than a 24 hour denial so that just shows no one reviews the medication and automatically deny depending on the situation.

    Cigna completely failed me. I signed up for a plan through the Marketplace and paid my first premium on February 2nd, assuming my coverage would start February 1st. I was NEVER told the payment would be applied to January, and I received no clear notice that my plan was terminated — not until May 2nd, months later. In March, a Cigna rep told me my plan was active, so I took my son to the doctor. That claim was later denied.

    I offered to pay for February and March just to get the visit covered, and they told me I’d have to pay all the way through June AND cancel my current plan — even though they already refused to cover the care we got while I was told we had coverage. On top of that, I never received my insurance card, kept getting mixed messages every time I called, and was left with an unexpected bill.

The representative asked me if I wanted to cancel the May payment. I said yes, since I was cancelling the policy, I wouldn't need a payment for May. The representative told me that it would take 3 business days to cancel the policy and 7 days for a written confirmation. On 5/21/25 I received an email indicating my account was past due. I called customer service immediately and was told that the policy was scheduled to be cancelled 5/31/35, the May payment was due, and an auto-payment was scheduled for 6/5/25.

    On 5/2, the rep (Matt) did not tell me the cancellation would occur 5/31 and that the May payment was required to be paid. Why would he ask if I wanted to cancel the May payment if he knew the policy had to remain in effect until 5/31 and a payment would be required? Incompetence or lack of training from Cigna. On 5/21, after 40 minutes on the phone with the billing department, they said if I didn't pay the May payment, they would send it to collections. I shouldn't be penalized for Cigna's incompetence. The billing supervisor stuck to the script and didn't attempt to resolve the issue that was caused by their employee's error. The only recourse I have is to make the payment to avoid being sent to collections and write this review. Is it too much to ask that companies actually care about their customers and provide good customer service? Cigna doesn't.

One of the denying reasons was that I have pain in more places in my body than my back has caused. Yeah, it makes no sense whatsoever.

    I *never* enrolled in Cigna but because I'm on Medicare (SSDI) they were able to get my personal information and send me mail, claiming that I had a "drug plan" with them. Now I'm trying to disenroll, and they've failed to comply, after I've tried every possible way to get ahold of them. This is a very frustrating job I never applied for. These insurance companies *automatically* enrolling people is illegal, Medicare claims it doesn't happen, BUT IT HAPPENS and is killing Americans every day. Cigna is part of this evil death machine, including Anthem Blue Cross and Alignment Health. Be very public about their shady tactics.

    I have been with Cigna for probably close to 15 years through my employer. They USED to be an awesome health insurer. No more. Customer service simply quotes boilerplate language and doesn't have a clue about health insurance. Typically, one goes to customer service when the boilerplate language doesn't quite answer a question. Most customer service reps, while pleasant, are hard to understand as well. I had an issue where I felt I was not treated fairly so after 8 months of going back and forth on a denied claim, I filed an appeal. It was denied and once again, boilerplate language was thrown out. It seems no one even tried to understand my situation. I come from the corporate world and even place the employee coverage. I have a good understanding of insurance.... Too bad Cigna no longer wants to actually provide customer service.

    Not recommended if you have a choice, since they are clearly in the business of denying claims as much as they can. This is the situation I am in. Claims for the previous year must be submitted within 90 days of the new year (i.e. March 31st 23:59 for 2025). Conscious that they'll mercilessly deny any claim which is even 1 minute late past that deadline, I submitted all of mine in time, the 2 last ones at 19:17 on March 31st. However these two were still refused: the reason being that the server they use is in Europe and therefore, when it is 7pm on the East coast of America it is already 1am of the next day in Europe: so their system "recorded" that my submission was on April 1st on European time. Of course, the contract can in no way be construed as allowing them to use a different calendar or a different time zone than the one the customer lives in to assess the deadline.

    So you'd think that this would be easily settled with a human call even if the "system" didn't spot this automatically. You'd be wrong. The person I talked with first tried to gaslight me by providing false information (i.e. that the rule was 90 days after the expense is incurred not from the end of the year - it's not). When that failed and I proved him wrong by reading the text of the contract, he switched to stalling tactics and pretending not to understand the problem, so the conversation and ensuing interactions had several iterations of the following pattern:

    Me: "I live on the East Coast and I submitted my claim on March 31st in that time zone, so I fully respected the clauses of the contract, even if it was already past 1 am in Europe and thus April 1st. I have an email from Cigna that proves that I submitted my claim on March 31st Eastern time. Please check that indeed I submitted on March 31st in my time zone as per the contract and do not deny the claim."

    Guy on the phone: "I perfectly understand your position and am here to help you. I will report this at the appropriate level". Same guy, by mail, one hour later : "Thank you for your message, I checked and it appears that our system recorded that your claim was submitted on April 1st, which is 91 days after the end of the year and not 90.".. Guy, are you doing this on purpose?

    I had the same situation yet again yesterday, yet again someone who claimed "I perfectly understand the points you make, I am here to help you, but need to refer this to another department"... Frankly, this combination of providing false information, delaying and pretending not to understand the very clear problem is a clear testament of what Cigna is about: making money by not paying for customer's healthcare by any means possible...

    The reason I took Cigna is they had all of my doctors. I had my primary doctor for over 20 years and I wanted to stay with her. They said she was in the system. Along with my other doctors. When I went to my doctors she said they don't take Cigna insurance. I called Cigna, a lady named Jenny said she called Cigna and everything was fine. The next day I called my doctor and they said she lied, no one called them. The best part when I was talking to Jenny I record every word she said to me and she said they're going to give me back my money because when I went to them I had to pay out of pocket because they don't accept Cigna. I'm so upset with them. They said they could help me pick out another doctor. Who the hell wants another doctor after 20 years of the same doctor.

    I hate Cigna. Please, they're Liars, don't deal with them. And record them when you talk to them. Because they'll lie. Now I have to wait for 2026 to go back to my doctor with a better insurance.

    Cigna will not authorize diagnostic tests to determine what is wrong until I've been treated first. How can you treat something without a diagnosis? My neurologist has ordered an MRI but Cigna thinks all I need is physical therapy or painkillers. Meanwhile, my condition is getting worse. If you took your car to a mechanic, would you want him to just start replacing parts that he thinks might fix the problem, or would you want him to run some tests to get a proper diagnosis?

    Updated on 05/15/2025: DO NOT ENROLL FOR CIGNA. I pay a monthly premium out of pocket to Cigna. It cost me more at Vision providers to use Cigna than if I don't use insurance. They don't answer the phone just the robot system to stall the call for 20 minutes, they don't have a person to email. One time my call was re-routed to Eyemed. Eyemed stated that it is the intent of Cigna not to pay for eye exams. I submitted a review on here previously, and was informed in a reply on here from Cigna that I should send an email to an unmanned account. The reply from the email stated to go to my member account for info. There was no message in my account instructing how to get in touch with a person. I will try to call Behnken at WFLA to better get the word out. The criminal CEO of Cigna and the Sr. officers should go to prison for insurance fraud. I welcome anyone from Cigna to contact me directly. Please Google Cigna customer service and read more about their fraudulent activity.

    Original Review: Cigna is the WORST. The main purpose of Cigna is not to help people, but instead to take their money (monthly premium) and not provide any benefits. Their phone system is terrible. The robot doesn't provide a way to talk to someone. It takes a long time to get in touch with a rep. Cigna could improve their rating if they spent their resources to better get benefits for customers instead of trying to trick them. Similar to the rest of insurance companies set up by Obamacare, Cigna is getting rich while impeding the health and welfare of their customers.

    My husband got a new job this year and with it came Cigna insurance. His deductibles and coverage looked so good and I was excited. Fast forward to today 04.14.2024. I have an MRI of my brain scheduled tomorrow. I was diagnosed with brain cancer 6 years ago and I have to have yearly scans to make sure that I am still good. Well Cigna has this idiotic policy that you have to use outpatient imaging centers for all advanced imaging. The problem with me is that I need to have perfusion with my MRI. None of the outpatient imaging centers offer that here. Also, you should always have contrasted MRI's in a place where, in the event of an anaphylactic reaction to the contrast, they can save your life. Outpatient facilities cannot do that. I received a call this morning stating that Cigna approved my MRI but they are pending the facility and it could take up to 15 calendar days for the "medical director" to review. My MRI is TOMORROW.

    I called Cigna and they said there is nothing they can do to make the medical director review it quicker besides have my doctor call then. I have already had to reschedule this MRI once due to my husband's job and insurance change. I work in the medical field. Insurance companies do not require outpatient imaging because of convenience. They require it because it is cheaper and at the end of the year, it puts more money in the pocket of the CEO and board of directors. They are putting my life at risk over something as minor as me needing to go to the hospital to get my test done. I sincerely hope the CEO of Cigna or anyone in his family has to sit in a doctor's office and receive the diagnosis of brain cancer and then rely on their coverage to get testing done.

    I made my first pharmacy claim today (Medicare Part D) and was shocked and dismayed to find that they did not cover two very mainstream respiratory drugs that were never an issue with my prior carrier. Further, it turned out they dropped CVS as a preferred at some point, leading me not only to not have those drugs covered, but to pay twice what I had to for the third prescription that, saints be praised, they DID cover. So I got hit both ways with a very expensive tab, and found myself wondering why I have the plan if that’s going to be the vibe.

    To be fair, Express Scripts for maintenance drugs works fine and is relatively attractively priced. And the rep I spoke with at length tonight was kind and empathetic - I got the sense he felt these omissions kind of sucked, too. But when he transferred me to their formulaic exception line, the new rep, after tersely recounting that they didn’t cover those two drugs, put me on hold, never to return after 20 minutes. Also worth noting that they apparently don’t have just about any “preferred cost sharing” pharmacies left in California. This is a very rough start to this new relationship. Buyer’s remorse, for sure.

    This insurance is basically a scam. They don't cover anything. I needed to see a cardiologist. I called in advance to see if they would cover it. They told me I would have to provide all the billing codes for what the cardiologist was going to do (how the heck am I supposed to know that?!). 6 months later and I get a $2,000 bill because apparently Cigna would rather their customers just die instead of getting the care they need. Nice.

    I checked prices for ** 0.05% Eye Drop 5ml at Cigna Healthcare. How can it be that ** 0.05% Eye Drop 5ml costs at Rite Aids (PREFERRED!!!) $175.18, at Walgreens (PREFERRED!!!) $140.77, at ABC Drugs $95, at Borbas Pharmacy $48, at Express Script Home Delivery Pharmacy $23.92?! What is Cigna’s meaning of the word “PREFERRED” regarding those prices?

    I’ve had a conversation with a Cigna representative. As he said, prices for medications are set by manufacturers. Till now I believed the price was a result of an agreement between an insurance company and manufacturer. Also, when searching for plan D insurance company I used the site **…. to find one for my medications. Now I see that it is fake, prices shown on that site are fake in reality.

She’d been off Medicaid 5 months prior to the visit they rejected coverage for so that’s completely false & even when on Medicaid they’re still supposed to cover what Medicaid doesn’t because she’s a child with disabilities which means they can’t deny coverage for her under the American disabilities act for children

    Their option was to wait another 3 weeks to see another wound care guy who wants to see me virtually well what is he got to be able to do virtually. I need Medication and things to put inside my wound to make it heal from the inside out but this is their suggestion and this is what they said to do and then they also said I'm on the hook for the bill for going to see wound care out-of-network which I had no idea until I got billed for it that they were out-of-network so it's just a whole scam.

    There comes a point in history when shamelessness becomes law and fraud becomes the norm A point where institutions stop pretending to be humane and fully surrender to the logic of plunder. Cigna has crossed that point. What this insurance company has built is not a healthcare service. It is a machinery of extraction, a mathematical equation where every variable is designed to maximize profitability at the expense of human suffering. A business model where illness is not a problem to be solved, but a resource to be exploited. Since December, Cigna has taken $80 from each of my paychecks under the promise of covering generic medications and lab tests. Not because they care about their policyholders, but because each signed policy is another entry on their revenue sheet.

    But here lies the trap: the moment you actually need to use what you’ve already paid for, **Cigna vanishes behind a wall of obstacles, endless transfers, and premeditated excuses. Four months later, my doctor prescribes me a regular medication. A generic. A low-cost drug. But when I arrive at Walgreens, reality strikes: Cigna has decided it is not covered. Final price: $175. There was no error. There was no system failure. This is not an accident. This is by design. Because in Cigna’s calculations, every denied claim is a victory, every medication you are forced to pay for out of pocket is another dividend for their shareholders.

    Their executives don’t analyze medical histories—only financial reports**. They don’t measure their policyholders’ well-being—only the efficiency of their denial strategy. And when you call to demand an explanation, you enter a circuit of pathetic operators designed to wear you down, frustrate you, and force you into submission**. Powerless agents, departments tossing the problem around like a hot potato, empty responses that solve nothing. Because their job is not to help you. Their job is to stall, exhaust, and bury your claim under layers of bureaucracy until you give up and pay. But what Cigna failed to calculate is this: when lies are repeated too often, they stop being invisible. Sustained fraud, when it becomes the norm, does not provoke resignation—it provokes rebellion.

    History has taught us that no system of greed is eternal. Companies that believe they can ** abuse without consequence always forget the same principle: the most solid structures collapse the hardest when their corruption is exposed. This is not just a service issue. It is a premeditated model of abuse. Cigna operates under a simple equation: Charge upfront. Deny coverage. Force the customer to pay again—while pretending that upgrading to a far more expensive policy will solve the issue, only to deny claims once more. Today, that equation faces a new variable: the awakened awareness of those who will no longer accept this plundering in silence. Cigna, I am not just another policyholder. I am the echo of all those you have defrauded. And this echo will not be silenced.

    Since then, I have called multiple times, spending over 75 minutes on hold each time, only to hear the same scripted apologies from their representatives. Despite their promises to escalate my case, nothing has been resolved. The representatives were unfamiliar with their own system, took an excessive amount of time just to locate my claim, and repeatedly disconnected or transferred my call without offering any real solutions.

    Cigna Does not care about you as the patient. They only care about their bottom line. I live in North west Ohio and we really only have Two health care systems in this area. Cigna and Promedica Have broken ties with one another because cigna said they are charging 5 to 10 time more than other providers and now magically they are now saying the something about Mercy health and it is only a matter of time before the same thing happens. So now I am stuck with Having to go to A voodoo witch doctor quack with no network or resources for major medical issues. Thanks cigna for looking out for your customers. Ohh sorry you're Money Bags.

    I spend a lot of money on my insurance through my job and I hate every part of that insurance. Dear God if I can find anything better that will actually cover my prescriptions and help me get healthy then I will take it. When you're on the phone with their customer care and they put you on with a pharmacist and nobody can help you out everybody tells you you're on your own. You really know that you're paying for nothing. I hate Cigna insurance with every ounce of my being. I hope your company goes under and those that made the policy decisions to get exactly everything they deserve on this world and the afterlife.

    Updated on 03/07/2025: If you are given a choice by your employer between insurance companies, please do not choose CIGNA. I have been on many insurance plans through my husband‘s employer, and CIGNA has been the most difficult to work with. They deny treatment and medications. They deny coverage for ongoing conditions which other insurance paid for. Unfortunately, when they deny claims, this makes more work for physicians and consumers. They recently denied my infusions which other insurance companies paid for. I believe it is against the law to deny medical procedures for ongoing conditions and CIGNA did just that.

    I have called customer service representatives several times to discuss these issues. Unfortunately, there is never a manager around or the representative states that they will speak with their manager and then call me back. Not surprisingly, they do not call back. It saddens me that They don’t seem to be interested in our care or our health. CIGNA seems to be interested in their bottom line, which is about them and has to do with money.

    Original Review: Stay away from Cigna. They do not care about their members, only about saving themselves money. They deny approval for needed medication and make it very difficult for physicians to fight it. They do not listen to physicians' understanding of their patient and needed medication.

    This year Cigna made a slight and devious change to Pharmacy coverage in the fine print. If you look closely they removed an asterisk on pharmacy coverage from last year to this year. *They used to pay a portion for many common prescription drugs, in 2025, they pay NOTHING for any drugs until you meet your deductible!

    I live in Michigan and my auto insurance requires letters from Cigna to prove I have Qualified Health Coverage i.e. stating that my Cigna health coverage is Primary payer in case of an auto accident. I need this proof every year. If I do not have it, my auto insurance premiums are extra high. Cigna should have these documents available on my online account for me to download. In Aug. 2024, I contacted Cigna for the letters and they sent me something else. So, I had to contact them a 2nd time and it was correct. The amount of time on live chat and telephone (with people who are poor at English communication) was 2 hours.

    In Jan. 2025 I needed the letters again, contacted Cigna via live chat, which took about 45 minutes and they sent me letters stating that we did NOT have qualifying health coverage. So, I called and spoke with someone with poor English. I had to explain in detail what I needed. The phone call took an hour! She said I should receive the documents in my Cigna inbox in 30 minutes. Surprise- they never showed up. Hopefully I will receive correct hard copies in the mail in a few weeks.

    I have had Cigna twice through different employers and both times I have been miserable. Now is unfortunately one of those times. I have an unpreventable chronic condition that requires the use of multiple medications and Cigna requires prior authorizations for 75% of them despite that they are very common treatments for people with my same disease. In fact I am still battling them to cover a pretty common medication that I need to live. I am allergic to the “equivalent alternatives” they offer (which medically and scientifically are actually not the same drugs as the one I need covered). They have denied my doctors and I’s requests for prior authorizations for it 4 times now.

    Their website is a nightmare to use as well. “Pharmacy deductibles might be separate from your medical” but you can’t see that on their site or what it is-they mention to call them to find out what it is or see/track where you’re at with it. They also falsely advertise being a “mental health advocate” but I have yet to see any actual improvement or benefit for even the simplest conditions. In fact a generic medication for mental health cost more with them than I’ve seen with other carriers. Also stressing your customers out by denying life necessary medications 4 times does not help with one’s mental health much. Overall I am very unimpressed and disappointed. I would not ever choose Cigna as an insurance carrier and I hope my employer leaves them and goes back to our previous carrier or another one at the end of the year.

My company has had Cigna for years and I have never heard of this or had a problems like this. Thank God I changed positions and have a different insurance. Biggest scam ever!!!!

    Still battling an insurance claim for a dental surgery from almost a year ago. My policy says it was going to cover 80% so far I’m paying 100%. I had another surgery that I was supposed to pay $400 but turns out I’m paying $1,900+ not that you can find any better just know what you’re getting when you get Cigna. They won’t return my phone calls or call me back either. No way to get in touch with them.

    I have an autoimmune disease that I have dealt with since I was 22, I am now 27. I was on a biologic medication for 4 years which kept it under control. Switched to Cigna for them to make me try a cheaper drug. Ok cool, did it. Did not work. Made me worse. Doctor appealed the decision after 8 months on it. Cigna is DELAYING the process for over 4 months now. I have since reported them to the TDI commissioner. This is complete crap, especially for people who play $1600 for a plan. It’s a joke. We have no other option with employee coverage.

    I have had many different health insurance in my life and this is by far the worst. The flexible spending account has been one debacle after another. I was supposed to get in June and it is the end of December and I still haven't received it. Every claim that I've submitted on the website has been denied multiple times. There's no way to talk to any customer service agent and if you happen to they have no idea what they're talking about. If you have the choice, tell your union, organization, place of business to not use this company.

    I have had knee problem over several month. My Orthopedics recommended injection treatment prescription, however Cigna denied and they do not cover knee injection. I call them and spent over a hour, transferred multiple times just finding that Cigna does not cover knee injection and they could not provide any other alternative treatments, because they are not medically trained. Paying over $1500 monthly insurance provide such a great service. I am sure Cigna AI will respond to this posting with "please send us an email at LetUsHelpU@CignaHealthcare.com and include your ConsumerAffairs.com username to be connected with a customer care advocate," but my result will be the same...

    1 star is far too many. This is by far the worst insurance company I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. Over $5000 of premium and they have denied ALL of my claims including dental, which I paid extra for when signing up for their plan. To add to this, they add exclusions to your already expensive plan making it pretty much useless. Biggest scam on earth. This used to be a great company but has obviously suffered at the hands of greedy and lazy people. Avoid at all costs.

    Horrible experience!!! I called to request a new HSA debit card for my wife. Called Cigna and they transferred me to a representative from the "HSA bank". They took down the information and repeated my request for a new card. As soon as I hung up, I got an email saying my card was "flagged as lost or stolen". The email said if I did not initiate the request, then I should them back ASAP. So I called back and the representative (who is based in the Philippines) tried to transfer me to the "HSA bank", and after a few minutes, he came back on the line and told me the bank was closed - it was 5 pm in CA. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold for a long time, and then I was disconnected. I called back a third time and was placed on hold again to wait for a supervisor, and finally I gave up as I didn't want to waste more time. This is utter incompetence and inexcusable!!

    I wish I could put zero stars. Worst insurance. Very hard to work with. I don’t know if they just never keep records of previous phone calls, if they just really want to keep you on the phone for an hour minimum, but I feel like I am giving the SAME EXACT information every single time I get on the phone MULTIPLE TIMES in the same call. I gave birth and wanted my son on the same policy and it took 6 months to finally get him sort of added on there. Call after call about ADDING A NAME onto the policy. I don’t understand how hard that could be. But now, almost a YEAR after he was born, and many MANY phone calls, I am still having problems with having him on the policy correctly. I don’t know if it’s the incompetence of the company or the workers themselves but this is ridiculous.

    I’ve accumulated so much interest on past bills and been sent to collections because they can’t put in a claim correctly. But I can’t just pay out of pocket because it is THOUSANDS of dollars from my son’s birth and other medical needs. I am just so done with this company and will never be with them again. So disappointing.

    So tired of being a number, now to add insult to injury, Cigna has forced me from a PPO to a HMO by changing its prices. In September moved to TN and agent put me on PPO with OTC $125 and Specialist $40 but for January 2025 no more OTC and $40 for specialist. Well Covid on life support left me needing Vitamins and OTCs plus I see specialist monthly. But the biggest insult is go HMO and get $15 specialists but only $40 OTC and keep doctors but then find out my best friend in another town on exact same insurance gets $5 specialist and $95 for OTC and she lives in small town also. So sick of this and now searching again after being here 4 month for 3rd time for suitable insurance. This is a terrible way for seniors to be treated.

    As if paying almost $900 per month for the insurance isn’t bad enough, you are constantly receiving bills for everything. I have been dealing with the same issues for a year now and my most recent disappointment is over the top. Earlier in the year I needed an MRI and because I had not met my deductible I was unable to pay such a large amount out of pocket. I’ve just been dealing with the pain, but now I need another MRI on a different part of my body, I have met my deductible and guess what…DENIED!

    Was told the policy is I must go to physical therapy first even though the Dr cannot diagnose me until I have an MRI. So I call Cigna and I’m told yes you’ve met your deductible but now you have a $4000 out of pocket amount I must meet. Also all of a sudden I was told I’m denied because of a 3rd party companies guidelines. I asked where I could find that in my policy and guess what, it’s not in there, I was told to go to the 3rd parties page to view the guidelines. How come I wasn’t required to go to PT when my deductible wasn’t met?!

    Two years I've wasted thousands of dollars for healthcare insurance to be met with nothing but thousands of dollars in debt thanks to their refusal to cover any life saving procedures that is made evident is necessary to survival amongst multiple doctors. I'm being refused the healthcare I need due to the worst insurance I've ever wasted a penny on denying me any and all treatment required in order to heal and survive. I cannot work due to my chronic health issues, and the multitude of doctors, specialists, procedures required to find myself help and Cigna wants to refuse and deny ALL OF IT.

    If I die due to refusal of procedures I physically need, you can thank yourselves Cigna. You claim to be healthcare coverage, but the second healthcare is truly needed it's denied because it's classified as "unnecessary." I'd love to see you as a certified doctor and claim these as unnecessary plans of treatment denying every patient that came through your doors for the very thing they come to you for.

    I've been going back and forth with Cigna over a mistake they made with reimbursing me for a service for over a year now. I finally got someone who was able to have them reprocess the claim only for the claim to not be paid out at all because it was "not received in the time limits based on the contract with the provider." Perhaps if they had reprocessed it when I contacted them the first time (which was within 30 days of the issue being discovered), I wouldn't have this problem. But they didn't. Instead, I had agents tell me over and over when I called monthly that they'd sort it and then they would leave it to rot on the floor. I wouldn't recommend this insurance company at all. It's so much headache and runaround when you need to speak with them. You're better off with a different company.

You claim it’s just a pain issue. You haven’t seen him. The doctor and surgeon have. A torn ACL and torn meniscus require surgery, NOT 8 months of rehab. It’s a shame you have denied the surgery.

    Cigna Healthcare Medicare Advantage is not what I had hoped it would be and I’m switching to another provider.

I called Cigna to make sure the center was covered and was told it was. After the examination, I am getting an out of network expense which is entirely incorrect. I called twice and was told it would be corrected but it never was. I’ve had enough. They are also saying I owe for other out of network expenses for tests that were conducted by an in network doctor, which I had no control over. Never again.
