PPO, HMO plans will be offered in the Denver and Boulder
areas
Cigna is expanding in Colorado, offering for the first time
Medicare Advantage (MA) plans in the Denver and Boulder areas.
These plans will first be available to Medicare eligible customers
during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP), which begins Oct.
15 and continues through Dec. 7, for plans that take effect Jan. 1,
2020.
“In Colorado, Cigna's Medicare Advantage health benefits offer
zero dollar premiums coupled with attractive benefits not available
through original Medicare,” said Lindy Hinman, Market President,
Colorado Medicare Advantage. “Our robust benefits are reinforced by
an intense focus on working closely with doctors and other health
care professionals to deliver highly personalized care.”
Cigna-HealthSpring Preferred HMO and Cigna-HealthSpring True
Choice PPO will be available in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder,
Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties.
“For many years, Cigna has offered health benefits plans to
Colorado residents through area employers and through the
individual marketplace, and we are pleased to now offer our
Medicare Advantage solutions here as well to connect new customers
with providers and services that promote their overall health and
wellness, both body and mind,” said John Roble, market president,
Cigna Mountain States.
For example, Cigna Medicare offers an acupuncture allowance in
its Denver MA PPO and MA HMO plans, covering up to $300 annually
toward the cost of these services when provided by a licensed
practitioner. This is the first time Cigna has offered this
alternative treatment in any of its Medicare plans.
Some other unique benefits in Cigna Medicare’s MA PPO include up
to a $300 annual credit for customers to use toward their Medicare
Part B premium and a $1,000 allowance to be used at any licensed
dentist for preventive and comprehensive non-cosmetic services.
Other benefits in both the Medicare Advantage PPO and HMO plans
include the following in both cities:
- $0 monthly premium
- $0 primary doctor copay
- $0 drug deductible
- $0 copay for many prescription drugs
- Meal delivery following hospital discharge
- Vision and hearing services
- Fitness program
