Expanded Medicare Advantage Offerings
MA plans are growing in popularity with individuals who qualify
for Medicare because they combine Medicare Parts A and B in one
convenient plan that can also include Part D drug coverage and
additional benefits, such as vision and dental, often at no extra
cost.
Cigna offers a variety of MA plans in the Huntsville, Birmingham / Tuscaloosa, Gadsden, Montgomery and Mobile areas in Alabama, the Florida panhandle area, including Escambia, Santa
Rosa, Okaloosa,
Walton and Bay counties, and central and southern
Mississippi, including the
