Today, CIGNA is announcing they will not offer CIGNA Medicare Access® (PFFS), their individual private fee-for-service medical plan, in 2011. Here is a link to their media statement with the official announcement.
CIGNA will continue to offer CIGNA Medicare Rx® (PDP), their nationwide individual prescription drug plan, and CIGNA Medicare Select® (HMO) (available in select counties in Arizona) in 2011 and beyond.
To make sure you are fully informed, below are highlights of what is changing and what is staying the same for the remainder of 2010 and for 2011.
• There is no visible impact to customers in 2010.
• Benefits, coverage, and premiums for 2010 for CIGNA PFFS are not changing; no one is losing coverage.
• CIGNA will continue to provide all individual PFFS administration, such as processing enrollments, issuing ID cards and paying claims.
• There is no change to contact information. Please continue to use the same phone numbers, fax numbers, websites and addresses to reach the same CIGNA teams as before.
• Agents can continue to offer CIGNA’s nationwide PDP and Arizona HMO products in 2010 and beyond, as approved by CMS.
