How claims work with Cigna

Direct billing: Present your Cigna insurance card at any in-network provider. The clinic or hospital bills Cigna directly — you pay only your applicable co-pay (20%–0% outpatient) at the point of care. No paperwork required. Reimbursement claims: For out-of-network or emergency treatment, collect itemised invoices and medical reports, then submit via cigna-me.com or call 800-244627. Standard reimbursement decisions are issued within 15–30 working days. Pre-authorisation is required for planned inpatient admissions, surgeries, and high-cost diagnostics — contact Cigna at least 48 hours in advance.
