    I have Delta DHMO group dental coverage. It seems to have some coverage for most dental issues. I am a new subscriber (actually, subscriber spouse). I have used it once, and I believe it covered the diagnostics 100 percent, and deep cleaning at 50 percent. O.K. My dentist recommended zirconia replacement bridgework, which is not included in the coverage. Porcelain bridgework is covered, so I inquired of the dentist regarding porcelain, and was informed he only uses zirconia. I called Cigna to see if they might pay on the zirconia what they would have paid on the porcelain. I got an answer right out of a script which I could not understand (and I am a lawyer).

    I believe, but am not entirely certain, that I am on my own here. A little research revealed that zirconia is now the preferred bridgework material, so I do not understand why Cigna doesn't have it in their schedule of charges. For this plan, Cigna does not reveal to subscribers what if anything they pay, only what the patient pays. They don't even call it a copay. They likely pay little or nothing, just giving you the price they can chisel out of the dentists. I would be a lot happier if they included zirconia bridgework (crowns) in their schedule of charges, even if it was more than twice the cost of porcelain. At least I would know that someone had negotiated the fee, and that I was not being charged whatever the dentist felt he could get away with. Other than the foregoing, the coverage seems OK so far.

    I had a terrible experience yesterday. I went to get my seizure medication at the pharmacy and they informed I had to pay $800 dollars. I told them I have Medicare through SSI my copay shouldn't be that high. They said, to call my insurance. I called Cigna insurance. They said, I got moved to a tier 4 which I had no knowledge about and that I have to apply for extra help which I did, but will take 24 to 72 hours. I informed them repeatedly I'm out my medication and I can't go without my medication for that long. I could go into epileptic withdrawal that can cause me to have seizure after seizure that can be fatal. They said, "I have no other option ", but to pay the ridiculous amount after they wasted most of my time.

    I called my pharmacy and asked if I could get 8 pills to last me a little more time till I can figure this out which cost me close to $200 dollars. Thank God I had 200 dollars. They told me to call SSA, but they're not open on the weekend. Make things worse I was out in a snow storm. I'm working, but still have Medicare through ticket back to work which I am on now. They gave me no other alternative, but that. It is terrible and life threatening.

    Cigna is the insurance offered through my company Tri County Care. I initially took this free insurance in 2018-19. I had a routine colonoscpoy which resulted in the removal of a polyp. Cigna did not cover this and said that because of the removal of the polyp it was now Diagnostic and not routine so I was now having to foot the whole bill which was over $3,000. I did not realize that I would be paying that kind of money and ended up going into collections. Moving forward this past December was open enrollment and I wanted to compare the cost of Cigna with my husband's insurance.

    The Cigna representatives and also my HR was unable to give me the cost of my visits to my providers. Whenever I called Cigna and spoke to their representative I felt like they were reading off a script and not directly answering my question. I feel like this company has poor service and representatives. Luckily I was able to not have to take this insurance and stayed on my husband's where I know how much I will be paying when I go to the doctor. They have poor business practices.

    I went to labor and delivery twice for pre term contractions. Both visits were billed by my hospital as emergency visits (code ED-0720). However Cigna treated the bill as an outpatient/operating room visit. Neither of those are correct. Even the code on my explanation of benefits (CPT G0383) is defined as a level 4 emergency visit (same as the hospital). However, despite both codes dictating this is an emergency visit I am being required to pay more than triple my emergency room co-pay.

    To reiterate, this was not an outpatient visit. This was not an operating room visit. I went to labor and delivery because PREGNANT WOMEN OVER 20 WEEKS CANNOT GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY WILL BE TURNED AWAY. Ergo, this is the same as an emergency visit and should be billed and paid for as such and I should not be billed more than my emergency visit copay (250$) and lab fees. When I called customer service (twice) they had difficulty understanding my question and placed blame on the hospital. I verified that the hospital did bill it correctly.

    I enrolled in coverage at the end of Nov 2023 because my husband's business was sold and we lost coverage through his work. I paid in full for the coverage 11/30/2023. Coverage was supposed to begin 12/1/23. On 12/8/23 my son came home from school with strep throat. I called Cigna to get my member number so I could take my son in to urgent care. After an hour and a half on the phone I was finally transferred to the retention team that gave me the member number #**. The next morning 12/9/23 I took my son to urgent care. After they were unable to locate my coverage and were unable to call in (it was Saturday and the call center was closed) the urgent care turned us away and would not see my son. We had to go to another care facility and pay out of pocket to be seen, tested, and receive antibiotics.

    I called Cigna back on Monday, 12/11/23 to figure out what was going on and why our coverage could not be found when we had a member number. They told me the number I was given is not accurate and my policy still didn't have a number and I would have to wait longer for processing, and once it did I could put in a claim for the out of pocket costs I incurred over the weekend.

    12/18/23, my daughter is now sick and I need to take her in to be seen. I called Cigna back to get my member number so I can take her in and I STILL don't have a member number and told that it is still processing. This is well past the 15 day processing time frame at this point, plus I have already reached out multiple times to get the number for the coverage I have already paid for in full. Since I once again cannot use the coverage I purchased, I again have to take my child to a care facility and pay out of pocket for her ear infection and antibiotics. Due to this, I called and cancelled the coverage. I spoke with a manager that said I would receive a full refund in 3-5 business days.

    With the holidays I didn't check in again until 1/3/2024. I still hadn't received the refund and called to find out why. This representative told me it was because they cannot issue a refund until 10 days after the final billing invoice. Apparently my billing invoice was generated 12/27/2023 and therefore I cannot get a refund until at least 1/6/2024. This was also the call I finally received a member number #**, after I had already cancelled my coverage weeks earlier.

    This morning, 1/12/2024, I reached out again because I still haven't received the refund. The first representative I spoke with said that it is currently pending and waiting for approval from my bank. The problem is that the refund is only for $200 because "I had coverage from 12/1-12/18 prior to my coverage being cancelled." Here is the thing, if I had coverage I shouldn't have needed to spend an additional $300 taking my children to independent care facilities and having to pay out of pocket.

    I should be receiving a full refund for all coverage I paid for and was never able to use. I should not have needed to call in now 17 times to get this fixed- every time I ask to speak to a manager that can fix the problem, the representative hangs up and sends me to the survey about "how well did we do"- well let me tell you, AWFUL. This experience "working" with Cigna has been the worst I have ever encountered with an insurance company. I am currently sitting on hold again, trying to be transferred to a supervisor and I have been waiting on hold for over 30 minutes, this time. This is the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered.

    A medication I have been on for the past few months through a different insurance (changed through work) is now out of my price range. I was paying $45 through Aetna and now it's $469 per month. And why do I need pre-authorization (which takes them WEEKS) for services I was already being provided? With the high deductibles they have, I might as well just not have insurance at all. Why are we paying premiums when they don't assist with costs until a ridiculously high deductible is met? And what does caremark have to do with pharmacy when Cigna is calling all the shots? I guess I will go without my meds for a year...

    I have been on the phone for 2 days trying to resolve an issue where Cigna has taken funds from my bank account. They continue to say that the policy is still active (which it is not) and placing the blame on Marketplace. Marketplace has said they have been fielding calls like this for days. Still no resolution! The money needs to be refunded being that we are no longer insured with them. Today I had a customer service representative hang up on me when she realized I wasn't biting the blaming marketplace! I so not recommend Cigna for insurance.... really didn't cover a lot and is trying to use underhanded tricks to get money. People would not have to change insurance if they wouldn't have raised their rates so much! AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY! DO NOT USE THEM!

    Updated on 1/9/2024: I wrote a previous review on this website concerning Cigna's hearing aid benefits and how they accidentally excluded me from those benefits. After multiple phone calls and assistance from my previous employer, those benefits were reestablished, but not in time for Cigna to deny my claim which has cost me $4,000 (out of pocket) on hearing aids. I gave them a poor review on this subject. Cigna (Mark) responded to my review asking me to contact a certain e-mail address to "discuss" my concerns. I replied to their response on this website asking for more details on how to proceed. Two weeks later, there is still no response from Cigna on how to proceed. No big surprise there. Do not trust Cigna.

    Original review: I was diagnosed with hearing loss by my audiologist and received a recommendation for hearing aids. The audiologist reviewed my insurance and told me I did not have coverage for hearing aids through Cigna. I contacted Cigna customer service and confirmed I did not have coverage for hearing aids even though the previous year I did have coverage. Customer service said there was nothing they could do. I proceeded forward with hearing aids paying for it out of my own pocket. I contacted my company's HR department about this and was directed to their healthcare consultant.

    In speaking to this individual, I was told I should have hearing aid coverage. This individual pursued this topic with Cigna and 30 days later, hearing aid benefits were restored. I then submitted my request for reimbursement on the hearing aids I purchased. Claim was denied because I did not buy them from the Cigna approved vendor. I have since appealed the claim and just received the denial.

    The denial claims that the audiologist should have known that Cigna only uses a specific vendor and should have informed me (even though Cigna showed I had no coverage at the time of purchase despite paying for it.....). Basically Cigna is pitting me against the audiologist because "they should have known better." Cigna takes no responsibility for charging me for a health care policy that included hearing aid benefits but left it off my policy. Do not trust Cigna. They will take advantage of you if they can.

    Terrible company to work with that cares little about customer health and all about their bottom line. Reject any claim they can and require appeals. Recently had an emergency pop up requiring an immediate MRI around the holidays and they still rejected it. Also disappointed with my company for selecting such a narrow minded corporation like this.

    This insurance company (if you can even call it that) is awful and does not have the patient's best interest in mind. They will deny every claim and make you appeal it and then deny appeals. I'm sure they don't even read through them… I think they have an auto button to deny everything so you have to try to fight it and then get so frustrated fighting your claims that you just end up going away. It's a great business plan so they get the most money out of people but not really great for patients who have legitimate health issues. I would never ever recommend this company to anyone. You are almost better off having no insurance as Cigna doesn't want to cover anything anyways. Please do not go with this company. Use a shared health plan or something instead. I'm out thousands and thousands of dollars thanks to Cigna.

    My health insurance changed through my work and I have had nothing short of a miserable experience trying to navigate the Cigna customer service department. I have complicated medical issues and Cigna granted an out of network exception request for one of my providers. Despite correctly submitting claims from the provider Cigna refuses to reimburse me. I have called over 5 times about the claim, and every time I am treated with the same response of, "We're wrong, you're right, this will take 5-10 business days to be processed correctly" and the when I call back in 10 business days nothing has changed and I find myself in the same position. Due to this I have been able to access care, which is exacerbating my conditions. I would never choose Cigna.

    I had 2 dental visits on 6/16/2022 and 4/25/2023, respectively. Since my dental office doesn’t accept Cigna insurance, I paid the costs by credit card and filed 2 claims for reimbursement on 4/25/2023. In May, Cigna sent 2 checks to the dental office. Although the dental office sent both checks back immediately, Cigna didn’t issue the check to me. I called Cigna and requested the checks 4 times (each time takes more than 45 minutes). They told me that they put stop payments for the 2 checks, and I need to wait for 60 days. In July and Aug, I called them 4 times to check the status of the payments. They told me the problem was resolved at the end of each long call (more than 1 hour). After another 2 calls in Sept and Oct, I received 1 check at the end of October.

    Again, I called Cigna to find another check. But Cigna once again sent the check to my dental office by mistake! They advised me to wait another 75 days to call back! Almost all Cigna’s customer service representatives who handle the claim are foreigners who speak English with very strong accent. It’s very difficult to understand and frustrating. After more than 10 calls and 8 months waiting, I haven’t received the check.

    My wife had a mammogram that had dense tissue and her doctor wanted her to get an ultrasound to provide a better exam. Cigna covered practically nothing leaving us with a $500 bill. This should be a routine procedure and part of regular care if a mammogram is inclusive. Not with Cigna. They don't care about women's health. This is a reason why some women don't get diagnosed because crappy insurance companies like this only care about the money. I can not wait for my company to switch Healthcare providers next year. Cigna is the absolute worst and should be ashamed how they say they are for women's health but obviously aren't. If you can avoid this company you should.

    I am a 54 years old woman, a mother. Due to previous car accidents, long term hard physical work etc. I have back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain... with my husband's previous employer, we had Providence Health Insurance. The insurance not only paid chiropractor's treatment, but also covers one hour massage before the treatment. It makes sense, since the massage loosens up muscles and make the adjustment easier and less risk. With my husband's new employer, our only choice is Cigna.

    My previous chiropractor no longer accepted me, so were many other chiropractors that I called. They told me Cigna is chiropractor's nightmare. I was lucky to find a very good chiropractor who accepts Cigna. She told me no matter how long she treats me, Cigna would only pay $69. And that's not the worst. She told me recently some claims got denied. I received a letter from American Specialty Health today. Looks like Cigna outsources the claim review function to this company. They denied all treatment for my lower back pain, upper back pain, shoulder pain...

    I don't think Cigna would be happy with them, if later on I have to go for back surgery and then endless physical therapist treatment. Biweekly or monthly chiropractor treatment would help me to lessen the symptoms and therefore to avoid back surgery. This American Specialty Health claim reviewers do not seem to have this common knowledge. Sorry for Cigna. (I will appeal of course, and after causing both side extra extra time, they will approve everything I am sure, because I can ask my previous chiropractor to provide my previous treatment history as evidence that I need this periodically).

    We were very excited to go with Cigna when we saw the broad set of providers on the Cigna website. We made sure to screen their website for our specific plan - the Connect CO EPO plan. We discovered that 80-90% of the providers they list do not in fact work with Cigna Connect. When we called Cigna, they recommended we call each provider AND also the facility where the provider works to make sure that they accept Cigna Connect. That is how we discovered, after hours of calling providers, that Cigna's provider list on their website is an utter farce.

    When we talked to Cigna about it, we two responses - the usual script nonsense of how sorry they are for our experience and then also a couple of reps who looked at what we pay in premiums and exclaimed that 'you pay A LOT of money for this policy.' But no actual help, no admission that their website is highly deceptive. I would recommend you make sure Cigna's provider list is accurate before proceeding. Once we found providers, we have felt that Cigna was easy to work with on actual coverage. If their provider list was even half accurate, we would be happy.

I instantly notified Cigna, provided the correct a account# and also verified with the bank that both payments had already been returned to Cigna.

The only response I received after multiple follow up is, "Someone will get back to you soon". No one has ever gotten back and they have not verified the correct account information nor reissued payment. It is an easy fix, I do this for my company all the time and know it can be resolved and reissued the next day. At this point I think it is their intention not to correct or reissue payment in hopes I give up. Next year I will pay more to go with another company. This is not ok.

    Dealing with Cigna is a nightmare. They don't have enough people to answer their phones, the website is crap, the process and follow through of their website is crap and nothing gets accomplished. I wasted over 4 hours just trying to renew my coverage. First, there is a bait and switch with their prices. The prices they first give you goes up by the time you get to the part where you set up and pay your premium. No one at the company could explain why the price went up, other than "Oh, the first price was just an estimate." Nowhere does it say on their website that the first price given was an estimate, nor does it say why the price would go up.

    After all this nonsense, I tried to enroll anyway. It went thru, but was not verified. I got an email asking me to push a button to verify my enrollment, but of course, this didn't work, as it no longer recognized my username and password, then gave me a computer error, then the whole verification just went away. I applied a second time, as I had no way of knowing if my application ever went through, then the same thing happened again. I ended up going to my credit card statement and noticed that these idiots had now set up two renewal policies for me and charged me twice, even though my policy is not supposed to start for another two months.

    I tried calling Cigna again to get one or both of my renewal policies cancelled, but to no avail, because they don't have nearly enough customer service people, so I had no way to even talk to them. If I am able to get thru to someone, it's never the right department. I must have been transferred 10 times all told, but not one of them could help me. It's to the point where I'm going to have to file a notice with my credit card company to try to get my errant accounts and payments cancelled, because I simply cannot get a hold of anyone at Cigna that can help me.

Cigna received the information and opened up a second claim (I guess because they DID already have everything and that was just an excuse). Then, it has been excuse after excuse every week that I call for an update. It has been almost 3 months to get a simple dental claim processed. 3 months!!! How does it take that long?! They said to give it another week. I'm sure I'll call next week again and it'll be something else.

    The excuse now is that it's been sent to a dental consultant. There is no big issue with this claim. It's pretty cut and dried. I had to pay out of pocket. I no longer have this insurance. I want closure. I want my portion paid. This is ridiculous. Going to the BBB and anyone else I can next. At this point, they're just stalling. It will soon be the end of the year.

    Cigna is the most frustrating health insurance provider I’ve ever had. I recently got a bill from my doctor for a preventative care appointment I had over a year ago. As preventative care is covered under my plan, I called Cigna to see if there was a mistake. They told me the services had been miscoded but there was nothing they could do because the appeals window had passed. I am pretty frustrated as the bill was so late that I had no opportunity to resolve it within their window. Overall I’ve found Cigna to be very difficult to work with on the phone and this is not the first time I’ve received a bill for something that should have been covered.

    I hate Cigna so much and I’ve only had them for a couple of weeks. On previous insurance, I had laser eye surgery which unfortunately caused dry eye syndrome. I have been using drops and ointments that the eye doctor prescribed but still get excruciating eye pain frequently. The pain feels like my eyelids were glued to my eyeballs and I opened my eyes and ripped everything. Then it's stabbing pain for anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes. I can’t open my eyes once the pain starts and there’s nothing I can do to make it go away. I’m new to the area and found a new eye doctor who gave me a sample of **. It worked really well so I asked for a prescription.

    I got a call from them saying Cigna denied it and was asking for a prior authorization which they submitted. I just received notice that Cigna is still denying the rx for some bullcrap reasons. They said I didn’t try the stuff they covered first but I actually have and that stuff didn’t work. I’m not even bothering going through the appeals process because I got new insurance through my job that starts in 60 days and that one covers **. By the time I go through the appeals, my new insurance will be active. I would never recommend Cigna to anyone ever. They’re horrible. They don’t care about the human beings they’re supposed to be covering.

    Updated review: Oct. 19, 2023

    Cigna has resolved this issue quickly by sending me a refund check for the advanced premium payments as I requested.

    Original Review: Oct. 13, 2023

    In August 2023, I purchased a Medigap policy with Cigna Healthcare. I paid the premiums for one year in advance. Cigna automatically deducted this amount from my account electronically while I was still on the phone with the salesperson. A few weeks later, I was contacted by another insurance company which offered me a better rate that would save me $600 per year. I called Cigna to cancel my policy and was told that I would get a pro-rated refund after I sent documentation regarding the new policy. I sent the requested documentation the next day. For several weeks, I heard nothing from Cigna.

    I called their customer service department and was connected with an agent who didn't even know what the word "premium" means. She put me on hold and came back later to tell me that I would receive my refund after 24 hours. She said that the funds would be deposited in the account from which they were originally taken. After checking with my bank a few days later, no funds had been deposited by Cigna. I called customer service and was connected with a man who confirmed that the previous agent had indeed lied to me and that my refund would be mailed to me in the form of a check 30 days after my conversation with the dishonest agent.

    I filed complaints against Cigna with the Attorney General of CT, the Insurance Administration of PA and the BBB. Cigna hasn't even bothered to respond to any of those agencies, except for the BBB, which was in the form of a generic letter, stating that they would be working directly with me to address the issue. The letter was signed by a representative of Cigna who was employed by other sketchy organizations, and is notoriously uncooperative regarding complaints. Since I have a family full of attorneys, my next step will be to file a lawsuit against them at no cost to myself.

    I find it odd that when they took the year's advance premium payments electronically, it took only moments, but a refund, which I have yet to receive by mid October, 2023, it takes 30+ days. Cigna needs to understand that theft is still illegal in all US jurisdictions. I can only assume, based on their lack of satisfactory response, that Cigna is suffering major financial difficulties and is about to fold.

    This has to be one of the worst health plans I've ever encountered! I requested three times to receive an ID card that has all of the information on it (ie co-pay costs, etc.) so I can have it with me instead of digital version. The first time I requested a physical ID card was seven months ago!!! So while I was on the phone today speaking with someone about a charge that shouldn't be on my file, I asked about the ID card. She said they took off the co-pay amounts and that I couldn't receive an ID card until December due to the state coverage, etc. (whatever that means). A lot of good that does me now! She said that I can go online and get the co-pay amounts. Am I supposed to write them down on a piece of paper and keep that with me? Why is Cigna making things so difficult for the consumer? I am changing health insurance companies to a company that actually cares.

    My father holds this insurance which has been wonderful until a certain medication is not pre authorized and they will not cover the cost or reimburse. The upsetting fact is that when this was finally authorized, they paid for the medicine but they will not reimburse for it when this was needed in order to save his life. ** was prescribed after my dad was in the hospital for an allergic reaction to another antibiotic that created a huge issue for him. While the hospital should have preauthorize upon discharge, we paid out of pocket because he needed this medicine. We submitted three claims and they somehow have not received any until I called and made a huge deal. While they finally have the third claim, they are asking for more proof that is not possible to obtain now that we are 6 months out.

    What a terrible group of non-humans. They paid for my diabetes meds since April 2023 and now, out of the blue with no denial letter, warning or explanation, they just decided to stop paying for it. Also, I had a neck injury in April. They wanted me to do Physical Therapy before they approved an MRI, then refused to cover the therapy. Then they denied the MRI saying it wasn't medically necessary. As if they are doctors. Hopefully that statement from them will be the noose they hang themselves with. The VA did an MRI and ordered an emergency surgery on my neck. The neurosurgeon said I was a week or less away, or one good fall, from being completely paralyzed. This was turned over to an attorney who took it on a contingency because they believe we have a 7 figure case.

A brief summary of my wife's experience in trying to obtain life-saving medicine and treatment through Cigna in the 2023. How is this possible? "Maybe they changed their formulas for qualification" says the health provider, befuddled herself as our family tries to figure out how to help my wife fend off full-blown lung disease.

    As she literally sits next to me crying (again), I can't help but try to put into words my frustration. I understand the fact that for-profit health care combined with sickness of a capitalist society is what allows companies like Cigna to operate in the way they do, but it still doesn't explain the ethical gymnastics you people must navigate in order to sleep at night.

    Had to go with Cigna due to company merger. We were told (promised) that "the coverages, co-pays, network, etc. were exactly the same as the plan we were on at the time of the merger. Only that the servicer is changing". Well, what a big fat LIE that was. Over the past three years, Cigna has consistently and methodically reduced what is covered while raising the rates and have been denying claims for tests that we have been taking for over 12 years.

    For example: they denied the claim for my wife's annual mammogram. When I inquired why, I was told "we do not cover tests for IVF". WHAAAT, since when is a mammogram a test for IVF? It then took another 16 months and various appeals to get them to pay the claim only after the bill was sent to collections, effectively ruining our credit. She was 52 at the time. More recently she had to get a CT Scan W/O contrast and Cigna is denying a prior authorization because and I quote "the in-network hospital that you scheduled the test costs more than an in -network third party test facility." You read that correctly. They are denying the authorization because they don't want to pay the in-network hospital. Have you ever heard of such a thing.

    Cigna is a joke of an insurance company. However, the joke is on them because since they wouldn't authorize a test that is inexpensive vs other options, my wife wasn't diagnosed properly. She has now been in the hospital for 10 days. The doctors told us this was all avoidable if she would have had the test performed when it was first prescribed. Needless to say, we have attorneys involved and it is looking very good for our case.

Most recently, it was escalated to the 'same day adjustment team" which needs TWO WEEKS to think about the claim. That's right - the SAME DAY adjustment team needs TWO WEEKS.

With most companies that's true but I do not have any faith in this one. Instead of healing after surgery we were bombarded with emails with a list of crazy charges that we didn't understand at all.

    Again the hospital explained that they sent that to Cigna and wasn't sure why they felt the need to burden us literally two days after my surgery. Hoping for a positive outcome but since they have my claim pending I assume they are looking for a way to deny or not pay as that is their way of conducting business.

I have had no problem getting the device approved until we changed to CIGNA health insurance. They approved the Dexcom G6 during our first month of coverage. When the new monitor Dexcom G7 came out, I switched over to it. This is where the trouble began. They denied the G7 because "they didn't have prior authorization." I contacted my Doctor, who sent them the authorization for it to then fax number, Cigna does not have an email. After several attempts and multiple responses from Cigna saying they did not have the authorization my Doctor logged into their portal.

    After two or three times entering the information into the portal we were once again told by Cigna they never received the authorization. So my doctor and my doctor's assistant set up a phone meeting with a representative from CIGNA in April 2023. After this meeting was finalized, Cigna informed my doctor and myself that the authorization was good and that I would not have to go through this anymore for a year. Today, May 27, 2023 I went to pick up my Dexcom G7 and was told by the pharmacist that Cigna had them blocked again. I immediately contacted Cigna and was on the phone with them for over an hour as they told me that I was denied the Dexcom G7 because I was not on insulin. They informed me today, a month later, that the previous authorization in April was a "courtesy authorization" and once they received more information, they decided to deny me. So I was authorized once for 30 days, then denied.

    Then after 8 days and multiple attempts to contact them I was authorized for another 30 prescription and then denied again. I was told by CIGNA that I was denied because I am not on an insulin regimen. I am however taking 2000 mg of ** every day, I'm staying away from sugar and carbohydrates, which is what my doctor has recommended for my health. Now they are stating that they need more information and are requesting a face to face with my doctor. But again they are denying me because I am not on insulin. I have to wonder why they are so adamant about me taking insulin?! That seems strange.

    I also have an eye issue that I've been trying to take care of and again Cigna has stated the same thing, they "need more information." It seems that Cigna is making up policies so they don't have to pay. I have never known an insurance company to force a person to take a drug before they approve something for their health. This is the fourth insurance I have had over the past 3 years and they are definitely the worst.

    I contacted Cigna about a wrong package being delivered, they could care less about it or getting the right package delivered to me. This is for Cigna Health Insurance, Tennessee. I wasn't able to see many of the doctors that were in network in the city of Knoxville. When I went online to see the doctors that I got off of My-Cigna, I'd make the appointments and they'd say something to this effect. I just sent the paperwork in for us to be removed from Cigna. I'd also get, "We don't accept," but then I'd call Cigna and they'd say, "They are in contract with us."

    I came to Philly for medical care through another coverage. My coverage with Cigna ended May 1st. I had 2 and a half weeks to get things resolved while still under Cigna. I still had money on my health card and Rewards / Incentives. I decided to use as much as I could before this day May 1 came around. I needed some things and I went to order online. I've ordered a few packages before when I needed something and had no problems with the orders. I tried to order but the website would not allow me to put the order through. I called the OTC number to place the order. I told the person many, many times that they are not to send the package to the mailing address because I'm not there. They said okay and I gave them the address that I am at. I had them call it back to me many times and they agreed that the package would come to Philadelphia and not Tennessee.

    Well everyone, where do you think the package is right now. It's sitting on the porch outside for anyone to get. I contacted Cigna and all they could do is say, "We will resend the package." I said how about contacting Fed-Ex to pick it back up. They said, "We can't," so I'm forced to spend my own money to have the package picked up. You will believe this, they resent out a package to me and it was incorrect. I said never again will I use any coverage with this name. Archie Bunker would say meatheads but what works behind those phones, it's worse! DON'T USE CIGNA.

    Our company switched to Cigna last year after being with a very good provider for a number of years. Part of the reason for the switch was based on promises from Cigna that they would be able to meet the level of service that we had with our previous provider (not the case). Ever since the switch it has been an absolute nightmare to work with them.

    Our situation was a bit more challenging and we had to get a special agreement in placed to use our previous 'out-of-network' doctor as in-network. However, every claim that was filed has been processed as out-of-network despite the agreement. In the numerous emails to Cigna through their antiquated 'secure' email portal, they informed us that our doctor was using the incorrect billing codes that were not included on the agreement. After months of this response/excuse, I've come to find out the billing codes listed in the agreement are considered 'master codes' that cover a multitude of other codes. Not only this, but also they were not using the correct billing rates for my region so that they didn't have to pay as much.

    So basically what it comes down to is that the claims processor at Cigna is incompetent and I was required to do their job for them. At least I hope that incompetency is the case and these issues were not intentional to save Cigna money. Luckily my company is leaving Cigna as there has been a multitude of other employees having problems with them.

    We had Cigna during 2022. Every month there was an issue with billing. The first month, they double billed my account the same day, putting our bank account overdrawn. The next month, they turned off our coverage, by their own customer service agents admitting it was a computer mistake, and I had to ask them to turn it back on. Also in Feb their rewards program, which offers points to use towards gift cards you can use to pay your bill were never rewarded, ($75 dollars worth to be exact) were never credited or sent even though multiple customer service agents promised it would be.

    In March I requested multiple times to speak to a supervisor due to the first month billing issue, only for the customer service agent to start yelling and talking over me, calling me a liar and refusing to connect me to a supervisor. He also refused to reimburse me the $32 overdraft fee from Cigna billing twice on the same day. The issue was never resolved and payment issues continued each month, along with rewards program credit issues. I sent Cigna all documents multiple times explaining payment issues, but never once got a response, or I was told it was fixed when it really had not been. Also had issues in July, September, October, and November of 2022. Each time customer service was rude and awful in my opinion.

I would have paid the bills, but I was under the impression, given to me by multiple people at cigna, that everything was still in the process of being resubmited.

When taking this matter up with Cigna they claim that my deductible wasn’t met so I am responsible for paying the anesthesiologist bill which is $400 in addition to the $1600 I already paid. They will always find a way to gouge you. Very disappointing but I feel like every insurance company is the same and will take every opportunity to not pay a claim. Shame on Cigna.

    My company uses Cigna so, by default, I am using Cigna to cover my family. My entire network of doctors was dropped AFTER the renewal period. After searching for a new PCP and visiting him, Cigna denied my medication-stating that a pre authorization was necessary after spending about two hours on the phone with representatives. Great.

    The representative told me the pre authorization process would be much quicker if he reached out directly to my doctor & assured me that he would do that immediately. I called the following Monday to make sure the process was started-they had never reached out to my doctor at all. So I asked if we could start the process. My doctor reached out, sent in all the documents necessary for pre authorization that same day. Weeks have passed and it’s still being “reviewed” even though the agent said 3-5 business days. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was much younger, as were two of my siblings. And now that I’m a mother of two instead of one, I’ve found it to be completely debilitating and exhausting to try and mask and function without medication. But they literally could not care less as long as they don’t have to use any money to actually care for people.

    Last year, they tried not to cover most of the birth of my child. My out of pocket maximum was $3000, I ended up paying over $12000…well, not paying because I can’t afford it, but being billed for it.

    Do yourself a favor and avoid this insurance company at all costs. As others have mentioned when you don't need anything special they are fine but as soon as a problem arises is when you find out just how truly awful this company is. I had an issue with my account and was issued a new ID number in April of this year. When I was issued a new ID number they failed to carry over all my medical claims from January-March and basically reset my medical deductible. I noticed this in May when I started receiving medical bills with large out of pocket costs after having already reached my deductible under my old ID number.

    I first called on May 9th to get the issue straightened out. I spent 2 hours on the phone explaining to several different people what the problem was and how it needed to be resolved as everyone I spoke with seemed to be very confused. I had to call back on May 31st, June 15th, June 23rd, July 13th, July 25th and now again on August 18th. Each time I explained to the person on the phone what the problem was and what needed to be done to resolve the issue. Each time I was given the same line that it would be resolved in 5-10 or 7-10 business days. It wasn't until June 21st that they finally started moving the claims from my old ID number to the new ID number. But they conveniently missed a rather large claim from Jan 7th that was not transferred over.

    On July 25th I was promised that the last remaining claims would be transferred over and all new claims would be reprocessed properly in 7-10 business days. On August 8th I received a call that the final claims from my original ID number had been transferred. At that time I was also promised that all new claims still needed to be reprocessed but that it would take another 5 business days. On August 18th the new claims still had not been reprocessed properly. After calling I was told that the a new review was opened on August 16th and that it would take another 7 business days to process the request.

    At this time it has been over 3 months, 8 phone calls and over 8 hours on the phone trying to get this issue resolved. For the past 4 1/2 months I have had medical bills adding up that Cigna should have been paying for but have been passing along to me as they drag their feet and delay correcting my account to properly process my medical claims.

    Do not - under any circumstances - get health insurance with Cigna! They will not help you! We were with them all of 2020 without issues which must’ve mostly been because we didn’t need much beyond a few routine visits for the kids. In spring of 2021 we fell under a “system error” that caused us to be re-enrolled with a new number & account. This started an avalanche of issues that should’ve been easy to fix but their customer service is absolutely useless! We started to get more and more bills that were declined, until we figured out that we had a new insurance number, which no one ever told us, and for which I haven’t received any insurance cards to this day even though we’ve requested them at least 3 or 4 times and were assured “they’re on the way”.

    While trying to correct our account number issue (which never happened), Cigna somehow decided to removed our children from the account all together, and when we tried to fix that they added them back in with the wrong date, leaving them with days that the system claimed they were “not covered” even we though we obviously had paid for them. To make things worse, my then 2yo was hospitalized during the timeframe that Cigna’s system claimed he wasn’t covered, which left us with a mountain of medical bills that Cigna refused to pay.

    Once we eventually got the dates in the system fixed - which took months! - they are now refusing to pay for emergency services from that day because they were out of network, even though the network choice was out of our hands and should very clearly be covered under their emergency rules. I am now sitting on $20,000 in pediatric ER and ambulance fees that Cigna refuses to pay. I’m just glad the doctors decided against the life flight that day.

    I have spent countless hours on the phone with Cigna. Their customer reps are in India and mostly useless, as they don’t have any authority or actual tools to help you. Their managers are US based and promise you everything under the moon with very little results. I can’t count how many times they’ve promised to send something, or promised someone would call “within a week”, or that “it’s fixed in the system and should be going through within 10-30 business days”. It is now August 2022 and I have called them every 2-4 weeks for the past year(!) to try to get this fixed, each time spending 1.4-4 hours on the phone!!

    This has been the absolute worst nightmare experience and I would have to leave 1000 1-star reviews to even do this justice. Do not under any circumstances get Cigna! I’d rather go without insurance than ever get Cigna again!! Even if it is your cheapest option, save yourself the headache, because it may become the most expensive thing you’ll ever do.

    What am I paying for??? First, they decide to not cover my brand name prescription...Tried to get it pre-authorized through my doctor (because the generic did not work as well for me) but NOPE, they said, "You have to pay for the whole prescription." So, after researching and talking with my doc, we decided to try the generic again for 90 days and do blood work to make sure I responded well to the generic. She sends prescription into CVS for me...Guess what??? CVS says I need pre-authorization from Cigna first before they can fill my prescription for a GENERIC???? What???? 3 hours of my life wasted...Finally the customer service rep gets in touch with CVS and authorizes my prescription!!! REALLY??? They will do anything not to pay for what you pay (A LOT) for to be covered for BASIC things. If you have a choice...don't choose Cigna!

    Absolutely a nightmare dealing with this company for my Medicare Advantage plan. I could write several pages about it from my extensive notes on all their screwups. Very hard to find a well reviewed PCP that accepts new patients in Central FL. As to a Dentist you have to travel at least 45 min away to get one and 3 months later! The first PCP I had was Adult Medicine of Lake County and they screwed up my paperwork on numerous occasions so I had to switch PCP's right away. Switching to a new PCP - I was told I could see the new one 13 days later at the beginning of the next month but they screwed THAT up. So I had to wait til the following month because the CSR at 800# didn't do the paperwork to get it done. So I lost 2 months right at the beginning just trying to get hooked up with a Primary Care Physician.

    On several follow up calls regarding my eligibility to see the new PCP I was told "everything is okay" only to find out it was NOT okay. So I spent literally HOURS over the course of 7-8 calls trying to straighten out that mess. They kept saying I was fine and all was well but then when the Dr. Office told me it was NOT, I had to call back only to find out "No, it was NOT right... so back to the long phone calls trying to straighten it out! I filed a grievance about all this. I got a letter saying basically "we investigated ourselves and found no problem". What a joke! Turns out they did not even address the specific points of my grievance. Seems like a total white wash to me. I am going to file another grievance.

    I don't know if this is a CIGNA problem or a Dr problem but all I know is, many appointments take at least a month of waiting and sometimes 3 months. So it seems they don't have enough doctors. Maybe because their doctors are bad or incompetent or ? My first PCP dr. screwed up my paperwork causing me to travel a half hour to a lab only to be told I could not get my blood taken because the PCP dr said I couldn't. (What?! I had already called the Dr office and they assured me I could get the blood tests there the next day!)

    Getting a dentist? Crazy. 3 months out and only 2 possible dentists to go to and I live in central FL where it's very populated and they have plenty of dentists - just that none of the dentists will take the Preferred Plan I have. Now I have called to get an appt with a specialist for ear nose and throat and the office there called me to say they will hook me up with an appt with a Nurse Practitioner (!) but if I want to see a Doctor (which I do!) then that will be at least a month out from now... What? Dr appt needed and I'm given a nurse? WTH? In conclusion, CIGNA is absolutely horrible and as soon as I get my dental work done - if I even do - then I am getting the heck away from CIGNA. "5 stars" from Medicare?? What is that all about? How is that legit? Do NOT use Cigna is my recommendation.

    Poor coverage. Cigna will take your coverage payments and work to avoid paying for services your PCP is requesting to determine the best care plan. They get third-party doctors who have no idea what your condition is to review referral requests for services by your PCP to determine coverage approval or denial. You could be in a ton of pain, and they’ll make you wait and suffer before they approve services, making it difficult for your PCP to develop the best care plan. Highly not recommended. Unfortunately, this insurer was chosen by my company after leaving United Health Care, not that they were much better, but compared to Cigna, UHC was above Cigna.

The stims and heat applied to my back was really helping me with my sciatica nerve pain. The theragun massage and stretching was also helpful in relieving my chronic pain. I am getting the message that Cigna and ASH together both feel that I should live in pain. When I call Cigna they point the finger of blame at their 3rd party nonsense provider ASH - American Specialty Health, who actively has their fingers poised over the DENY button. Terrible experience.

    Until recently I've barely had to use my insurance aside from prescriptions and the occasional checkup. It was ok for that, although co-pays were higher than my previous insurance. My wife had to get emergency surgery about a month ago. The ER wouldn't let her go home and a surgeon was called in first thing in the morning to do it. Cigna wouldn't cover it so we're in massive debt because we had to save her life. I've been trying for months to get bariatric surgery so I have a chance of walking again. Cigna gave my surgeon a huge list of requirements in January and for 5 months I've been fulfilling them all, spending thousands out of pocket for supplements, nutritionists, and a CPAP machine. 6 days before my surgery data Cigna calls my doctor and says they're denying covering the surgery and I have to cancel it.

    Cigna does not provide medical insurance. If you have an actual medical need you may as well die as far as they're concerned. Their exact words were "it isn't covered, even if it is deemed medically necessary." I'm glad my company is switching to Anthem in a month. If your employer has Cigna, go to the marketplace and buy your own insurance from someone else. At least you won't be throwing your money away.

Cigna has also had the incorrect mailing address for me since January (it's May) so all providers are 60+ miles from where I actually live. I have called no less than 15 times to have this changed and they tell me every time that it has been done. It never has been. I do not receive mail from them because it goes to the incorrect address.

    Cigna's provider directory is NOT specific to my plan so I have to call them EVERY TIME to clarify if a certain provider is in-network or not. Twice, I have been assured that they are, then at my appointment, I was billed as if I was uninsured. Cigna has never fixed this. In addition, I have been waiting for FOUR MONTHS to see a Primary Care Physician because Cigna will not provide me an accurate directory of who accepts my plan. When I finally found one on my own, the provider refused to see me until Cigna would update my insurance to show them as my PCP. Cigna refuses to do this. They keep telling me I can do it myself from my patient account. Every time I have made the change, it is not saved.

    Cigna is withholding information that directly affects my health. They outsource their "customer service" and do not train them. No one can answer specific questions about coverage. NO ONE.

Claims are denied seemly at random or to save the insurance company money even if the treatment is prescribed by your doctor, prescriptions are treated the same way. Everything goes before a Review Board with no past medical history of the insured only using what it will cost CIGNA. There is no recourse with the Review Board nor a way to contact them directly, even my doctor cannot reach them. I am recommending that our company switches back to Blue Cross Blue Shield. I had no idea that an insurance company could override a doctor's direct orders.

    I am a physical therapist in New York, and I have been in practice since 2000. I presently run several outpatient practices, and we have been out of network providers with Cigna since 2008. I am absolutely appalled to see how unethical and incompetent this company has become. However, the current issue I am dealing with supersedes everything else we have been through with Cigna. Starting in February 2021, I began working with a young patient. I was instructed to email her claims to GHB Anthos (a division of Cigna International) where they would presumably be processed and I would be reimbursed. The claims were submitted on a Standard HCFA form, as instructed, and in the interest of saving paper, three dates of service were listed on each form.

    When I received reimbursement, it was markedly lower than what was promised by CIGNA International. After many, many calls and speaking with many, many different seemingly clueless representatives, it was determined that there was a processing error on Cigna's part. Apparently, the incredibly incompetent representative who processed the claims could not read that there were three separate dates of service on each page as opposed to one date. I was promised that this would be corrected immediately and those claims would be re-processed quickly and corrected. Now, THREE months later, nothing has been done.

    I have been in constant contact with a Mr. David ** at Cigna International, who sends emails filled with empty promises and apologies; however, at this point these claims still have not been corrected. We were forced to get the member's mother involved, and she is furious that her daughter's claims are not being processed and she will be responsible for the money that Cigna should be paying. The amount of time that has been spent trying to rectify this when it was clearly an error on Cigna's part is atrocious. Obviously we will be taking legal action as well as filing a formal complaint against Mr. ** and the Cigna team. However, I hope this review will serve as a warning to anyone who is considering using Cigna as their provider. They will dupe you, make "mistakes" that never get corrected, and all while charging exorbitant premiums. RUN far away from Cigna if this is a plan you are considering!!

    Cigna sucks completely. I've been on less than a month and I already hate it. I pay about $377 a month through healthcare.gov for them and they still don't cover anything besides a visit to the doctor. I have a $5,000 deductible I have to meet before they will pay for anything. I'm experience acid reflux issues and had to turn down the testing my GI doc wanted to do because I can't afford it. BlueCross is literally the only good insurance on healthcare.gov. It's a little expensive, but their copays and deductible are much lower. Definitely switching back in January. They also don't cover about 1/2 if not more of all medications. Even if they do cover it they have insane restrict on dose and # times of day. When I switched to them I had to buy a Walgreen Prescription Saving Plan to cover most of meds. I'm on 2 mental health meds that were difficult to get right and I refuse to change them.

Well that doesn't mean anything, everything with Cigna is denied by their evaluating company "Evicore." My 18 year old son had an injury to his hip and saw an orthopedic who referred him to physical therapy, Cigna/Evicore denied it saying there was no medical necessity, after appeal was approved, co-pay was $600. My son was sent for an MRI, was originally denied and after appeal was approved, co-pay was $400. Multiple medications denied, not covered even after my physician sent in several requests for authorization.

    My wife has suffered from severe back pain and sees a pain management physician and gets epidural injections every 3-months, every time the physician submits for authorization, comes back denied and requires a peer-to-peer review, even after having documentation of her condition from multiple MRIs, orthopedic and neurosurgeon.

    Cigna's services to the elderly should be more sympathetic to population that needs the most help. To have a patient lay in her urine and feces when she has been paying Cigna to provide Home Health Aide which includes bathing, and using the toilet is not what the elderly deserve from a major US institution. As of today, the family of this elderly patient, who is total care, is struggling to pay for Home Health Aide care out of pocket.

    Cigna claims to be a healthcare company but they are simply an insurance company, your health is not a concern for them, just as long as you pay. We call them, find out what care providers are covered, then after the visit we get a huge bill and Cigna states it was "out of network". They won't send you this in writing, you are not allowed to record them on the phone, so at the end of the day you have a huge bill and their word against yours that it was supposed to be in network. This has been going on for the past 2 years years and despite all the requests Cigna refuses to acknowledge us. We are now over $14,000 owed because of this. We cannot afford an attorney, Cigna is the only choice for my company, so we are stuck. I can no longer go in for even a basic checkup (last time got a $1200 bill) so now if I am injured or sick I have to treat myself. I wonder how many other families they are destroying?

    I am a dialysis patient. I made the mistake this year of switching to Cigna. After a required prior authorization was secured for a commonly prescribed drug—**—their online pharmacy failed to refill when the 90 day supply ran out. After a two week run around, I asked the doctor to simply write another prescription and send it to Walgreen, rather than continue to chase my tail with ExpressScripts online pharmacy. Walgreens called to say there was a problem with insurance.

    After ten minutes of holding with Cigna customer service, a representative said prior authorization was required for this common drug (which, itself, is hard to believe). I explained I had that; she answered that it had expired (guess they think end stage renal disease goes away or that I died in the meantime). I asked her “authorized by whom,” since my doctor had already written the new prescription. She said it must be authorized by their medical person and then there are reviews and appeals if it’s denied—at least that’s what I gathered as she spoke, heavily accented, at 100mph. I asked her twice if she would slow down, and she then seemed miffed. To calm her down, I asked for her first name. She then hung up. I wish I could switch back to AARP United Healthcare.

    Cigna's coverage and customer support is below subpar. It is truly non-existent. Whether it's general health insurance or a dependent care spending account, be prepared for the following as a Cigna customer: denials over every claim, lack of transparency when trying to resubmit a claim, lack of follow up on Cigna staff when you put in a claim, and a battle for coverage of the most basic and necessary medical services.

    I purchased a dependent care FSA and they denied my claim for expenses with no explanation except for an internal code. I called multiple times and each representative had a different reason, none of which was compliant with Federal FSA guidelines. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone, for each call, before getting a rep. Their resubmission process is non-existent. They even would not reply back to my employer's HR. If you have a choice for an insurer, make it any other company than Cigna.

Upon release, I found out is was "out of network" but was informed that due to my medical emergency that I would be covered at the "in-network" rate. Only thing covered to date was the ER visit, and I'm left with $45,000 medical bill because Cigna keeps denying payment due to hospital coded ER visit correct but not the ICU stay (coded as "in patient"). As clearly stated my ER visit resulted in my ICU stay as I almost died. Went back and forth with Cigna to reach out to the hospital for corrected coding which was done according to each representative I spoke with in regard to the claim.

    To this day, my claim is still denied despite "appeals" and billing code correction. In addition, this same coding/claim payment dispute has been going on since February 2021 and to this day, no action or remedy to pay the bill as of August 13, 2021.

When it came to paying for anything that required more money is a whole other story. (Yes whole OTHER). I got Invisalign to help improve my smile. Cigna only pays up to $1000 and you have to wait a year before you are eligible to use it. Throughout the year of 2018 and 2019 I have been late a couple of times but only by about a week or shorter. Well my 1 year to use to orthodontic benefit was coming up in September of 2019. I paid my bill for August but I was late for September. Mind you, they usually send a notice and tell me that I'm late but not this time. This time they sent me a notice telling me they are canceling my policy for nonpayment and get this, the back dated my cancelation for August 31st 2019. Yep, very messed up.

    Fast forward to today. My wife has Cigna through her employer and so we get a major service for our youngest daughter. We both have separate dental but we all are covered on both. They use most on my coverage, which is MetLife, no issues. They send the rest to Cigna and we get a letter saying we need a "custody order/court decree stating one parent is responsible for the dependent child's health care" (we are married, why is this needed). Also, we have to send a plan for the custodial parents spouse. We then have to respond at the bottom of the letter, which has no space to write, explaining all of that above or they will "deny the claim".

    They find every excuse not to pay your claim. They have no problem taking your money every month but they seem to be tight with theirs. Stay far, FAR away from them unless you really need basic Dental insurance, and if so, may God have mercy on your soul because you may need to give it up to get your claim processed.

Cigna continually loses and corrupts files that I upload via the portal or website.

    Cigna automatically switches me to paperless statements even though I keep opting for paper mail, because it's the only way to keep track of their extremely confusing and deceptive methods and coverage. I opt out of paperless, and they opt me back in without notifying me. Cigna claimed my doctor's office is not in their "system" and they cannot process claims, even Out Of Network. However, other patients have indeed gotten OON coverage from Cigna at the same doctor.

    Cigna rejected a claim which used the updated 2021 CPT codes. I verified with a rep that Cigna was still accepting the old 2020 code. They assured me they accepted the 2020 code. So my doctor rebilled with the 2020 code. Then Cigna rejected it, claiming the 2020 code was out of date and I need a bill with the new 2021 code.

    There are some things Cigna doesn't cover because they're supposedly cosmetic - like types of braces - that I would argue are more than cosmetic. They have improved over time though and cover regular maintenance and repairs.

    As with any dental insurance it seem they do not want to cover much more than 50% at the most with anything major you need to have done. And with implants of any kind whether it be for dentures to lock in place which to me is not cosmetic...they don't pay anything. It would be nice to find actually dental insurance that was good.

    We recently switched to Cigna because my work switched insurance providers. The way the coverage was described when picking a plan is not how it actually works, it read as our copay was 30% until deductible is met then 100% is covered, but no it's 100% copay until deductible is met than 30% until maximum out of pocket is met. Why is the monthly premium close to $1400 for 2 people for them to not pay? And to add insult to it, my wife has to take a vegan brand medication due to allergy to gel capsules, and there is no generic for it because they still have a patent for 2 more years, and they won't cover it despite having name brand prescriptions "covered" with a $50 copay. But they suggested other medications that are... CAPSULES, which will send her into anaphylaxis, but they're "preferred brands". This company is horrible.

    In August of 2020, developed severe eczema, I had mild flare ups before but this time it covered my whole body and led to cellulitis on both feet. I was treated with antibiotics, oral steroids, and creams. It cleared up and less than a month late (after antibiotics and steroids were no longer being taken) once again I had cellulitis on both feet and eczema over my whole body. My GP, wound care doctor, and dermatologist all said I needed **. Cigna denied and wanted me to try another cream first (mind you have to cover my WHOLE body with this).

    I as of the new year I switched over to Cigna, I had medicaid, and wouldn’t you believe it’s easier to get help from Medicaid plan’s customer service reps than it is this major commercial insurance provider. I have called 4 separate times and all reps have told me different things when it comes to coverage. I’m a type 1 diabetic so I require machines, technology, and many medications to keep on living day to day. I’ve had one helpful experience where a rep told me to call and ask for a “coach” to coordinate my care and transition from Medicaid to this plan.

    I called today and, I guess I should have known there wouldn’t be a coach in because it’s MLK day, and that’s fine, I understand, but then I had the customer service rep trying to help me with something when I already asked about being transferred to a coach, then she put me on hold for 10 min then to come back laughing and giggling on the line. Extremely unprofessional. If Cigna could get some reps who listen to the customer to begin with, I likely wouldn’t have had a bad experience with this lady, but it’s also extremely frustrating that reps don’t understand what the benefits cover, I get it diabetes is a complicated territory, but it’s an extremely common disease that this shouldn’t be such a big charade to coordinate, especially given type 1 diabetes is deadly.

    I signed on as a Cigna customer last year. I bought a family health insurance policy and everyone was so helpful and efficient that I was amazed by the service quality. At the time, I was told that a preexisting condition I had would be excepted from coverage, but that if for a year I didn't have any treatment for it I could ask for it to be exempted before the annual renewal.

    Two months before the actual renewal date, I contacted Cigna to ask about the process I needed to follow in order to have the exception removed. Initially nobody replied to my calls, the sales person that had sold me the policy last year didn't return my calls and I was left hanging. After a lot of persistence from my part, I finally spoke with someone, who after delaying answering until the actual renewal date, told that my exception couldn't be removed!

    Then started another saga: My policy premium had already been charged at an old credit card that I had used last year that belongs to my son. Again I contacted them and asked for a payment reversal, so that I could pay it with my card. I was told that within 60 minutes someone from the billing department would call me back to fix this. Two weeks have passed and nobody ever called me.

    Cigna's online chat has been down for one week, I have repeatedly asked to be called from the customer area link by providing my phone number but nobody ever called me. I have emailed all the Cigna customer service email addresses existing in the system, apart from an automated reply, nobody has never replied. I have wasted an immense amount of time, not to mention the frustration I have been feeling, without any result. I'm a Cigna platinum member and am still treated this way.

    I called Cigna prior to having emergency surgery. They advised that I would receive 50% of the allowable amounts for my surgery, that costs $16,135.00, on a recorded line. The rep was very thorough. I submitted my claim & I received a check for $167.35 or 1% of the cost of the surgery. I returned their check because this was not the contract agreement they had with me & the school district.

    They claimed that I had met my $2000/in-network deductible & that they applied an addl $2,000/out-of-network deductible. They claim that my reimbursement was a total of $2,167.35 for $16,135.00 worth of surgery. Even if I could see their logic, their doctors would never have charged me $4,334.70 for the surgery. When I called Cigna network doctors, they refused to give me a price for the same surgery I had performed by the out of network doctor. Additionally, on the recorded line the amount Cigna said they would reimburse me for was $8,067.50 minus the $2,000 out of network deductible. Based on Cigna's contracted rate with the district & me they owe a reimbursement amount of $6,067.50 and not $167.35--as stated on the recorded line. During my phone call to Cigna, the rep stated that she listened to the recorded line & she stated, "The rep shared too much information with you. He wasn't suppose to tell you all that.

    Updated on 05/26/2021: I canceled my policy in October. A month later, I got another charge to my credit card for that policy I had canceled. I emailed, I called (and waited on hold for an hour), I left a number for them to call me back -- no dice. You CANNOT get ahold of them. I then disputed the charge with my credit card company, and they gave me a refund in December. IN FEBRUARY, I GOT ANOTHER CHARGE FROM CIGNA. For a policy I had canceled four months earlier. It is now almost June and I still have not been able to get them to reverse this charge. Avoid Cigna like the plague (and we all know what that's like now). They steal.

    Original Review: I tried to contact Cigna regarding my account, but they are uncontactable. They have a portal on their website you can submit requests through, but they never reply. They have an email you can send communications to, but they never reply. They have a phone number you can call, and after an hour of being on hold they will invite you to leave a message for a callback; they will never call you back. On their website, you can submit a request for a call, even specifying what day of the week and what time you would prefer to be called. They will never call you.

Cigna denied my appeal without giving much reason at all. Case manager was rude and would never be available; no email or anything you just call and leave a message.

    I consulted with an attorney and medical billing advocate and have written an appeal letter and sent it out mid-September. To date I have not heard a word back.

    I was recently traveling internationally and wanted decent health coverage in case of an emergency. I only needed coverage for 5 weeks. A sales rep was very helpful in getting me set up and the coverage seemed quite appropriate and comprehensive. Luckily, I did not have to use it. So far so good. Despite knowing my travel dates, I was not able to set up an end to the policy but was instead told to write to the company 1 week before I wanted the plan cancelled. My trip ended over 3 weeks ago and I wrote to them almost 4 weeks ago to cancel the policy. No response.

    I have since written to them 4 additional times and called 4 separate times and have been unable to get any response from a human being. They owe me a refund of $125 dollars and are about to charge me another $164 dollars for coverage that I no longer need in 2 days (they don't allow you to cancel auto-pay on your own). At this very moment I have been on hold for 1 hour and 54 minutes trying to speak to someone at Cigna. So in summary, for me Cigna was very helpful in getting me a policy quickly and it seems like comprehensive coverage but the time and energy I have spent trying to simply end the plan negates that.

So I paid the $300.00 for the device only to find out that the company I got it from was out of network and I won’t get reimbursed anything. They never asked me where it was coming from but I told them and two reps still said it was covered.

    Then, two days later I call to see if a mail in sleep study was covered. The rep said it’s covered at 100%. I told her the story about the previous device and losing $300 on it and she assured me that the sleep study was covered at 100% too and that the company the device was coming from was in network. Well, same story, different company. Turns out the sleep study place said they were out of network and I had to pay $225.00 for the study even though the Cigna rep said it was covered at 100% and in network.

    This is the absolute worst insurance company I have had in the last 30 years I’ve been working. If anyone is reading this, make sure you call several times to the insurance and your doctor or device supplier. These people work for you. You are their customer, not the other way around.

    This is my personal opinion: Cigna has put into place policies that make it very expensive, difficult, and stressful to get adequate healthcare. I have been in excruciating pain for more than a year and a half. Every step of the way they have denied care that my doctors have ordered, including imaging and medication. Their new policy for MRIs is the worst. Basically they are going to deny the MRI your doctor orders after making you wait weeks to find out, then you have to call your doctor and beg them to take time out of their busy day to do a peer to peer call with one of Cigna’s “doctors” to try and approve your MRI.

    In the last year I have had a neurologist, a pharmacist, a physical therapist, and a surgeon all tell me “Cigna is the worst”. Cigna is getting quite a reputation for being a terrible health insurance brand. People are suffering and dying while Cigna issues denials for coverage of care. The CEO of Cigna David Cordani makes 19 million dollars a year. Clearly denying people care for anything above a few weeks of physical therapy is proving to be profitable to him and the other higher ups at this company. More and more people are realizing the need for Medicare for All because of this insurance companies greedy policies.

If something happens to my son because of this, believe me, Cigna will be held responsible to the fullest extent.

    I have been on medical leave since June. Cigna only paid me through July. Every week when I call I am told a different story. First more forms are needed then they're waiting for other forms. My claim was closed apparently because they didn't receive paperwork because the doctor's fax was broken. Now they keep saying they need more paperwork to re-evaluate. No-one has contacted me about this or follows through on this. I have to make calls to get info myself. I want a real answer on what is happening with my claim.

    I have called and talked to Cigna 4 times. I did everything correctly. I even have the copies of all the faxes from my doctor's office. Still, they haven't paid me correctly and didn't pay me for the 3 days required to off work for covid testing before getting surgery.

    Dear Cigna, My son has Mild Mental retardation. He had a seizure in the doctors office. He's having intense facial tics. Cigna's response to paying for a CPT code 95712 EEG. "This policy is meant for healthy individuals. You can't have any underlying conditions when you sign up for this policy." Apparently Cigna is above the pre-existing conditions laws that state you can't charge someone more due to pre-existing conditions. They offered to cover it for $600 more a month when I already pay $450 a month. First off my son is healthy. He has special needs and these are discriminatory practices. Saying that a child with MR is not healthy and won't be covered is the sickest most disgusting business practice I've ever heard of. IN CONCLUSION DO YOU REALLY WANT INSURANCE FROM A COMPANY THAT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST SPECIAL NEEDS?

    I was informed when I got my policy that Cigna would pay a portion of my dental cleaning. I went to the dentist one month later. They paid nothing. It's as if I went to the dentist with no insurance whatsoever. Now I'm stuck with the dental bill of over $100. I cancelled my policy immediately. Now when I hear the name Cigna, it just leaves a horrible memory.

    I changed to Cigna Dental PPO coverage this year because the basic plan parameters looked very good when compared to Metlife. This even included the comparison of % payments when using Out-of-Network Dentists, which I do. As always the devil is in the details you can't see until you file claims. What I have learned it that the Dollar Amounts "Allowed or Approved" is less than 50% of the approved amounts from Metlife. So they provide an advertised view that is a sham. They say they'll pay anything from 50-100% just like Metlife, some cases better, THEN they have approved amounts that are less than half. So if you compare their quoted 50% coverage works out to 20-25% if you compare DOLLARS. Can't wait to get rid of this plan.

    After 10 years with Allianz health insurance, our employer has changed to cheaper Cigna. After first claim being rejected they needed more than 2 months to compensate for a pre-authorized Claim of less than 200 Eur. The last Claim was even bigger disappointment, as asking for authorization took 2 weeks only to reply that they will check it. I went through Social insurance for rehabilitation on broken toe and was faster and less time-consuming. Avoid!!!
