How to save money, time and trouble with your online account.
Have you activated your myCigna* account yet? Your personal website is more than a convenience — it’s a smart and easy way to get the most value from your health plan. Here are a few of the things you can do:
Save money
Search for in-network providers. Need a specialist close to home or urgent care when you’re away? You’ll always get the lowest costs and greatest value by staying in-network.
Estimate costs. Want to see how much a procedure will cost or compare costs at different labs or hospitals? Save money by getting estimates and comparing costs first.
Save time and trouble
Get information at your fingertips. View claim status and reimbursement, quickly find your ID card info or print a new card, and more.
Manage your spending account. Review your account balances, contributions and withdrawals all in one place.
If you already have an account, make sure your contact information is up to date so you don’t miss out on important plan information. It’s fast and easy to activate or update your account, so do it now.

Why your annual check-up is $0*
Having your annual check-up is one of the most important things you can do for your health. And since it’s at no additional cost to you, there’s no excuse not to schedule your exam now. Here are three important reasons to make it a healthy habit.
1. Protect your health
Your annual check-up can help identify risks for chronic conditions. With that knowledge — and your doctor’s help — you can start to take control of your health. A few simple changes now could help you live a longer, healthier and happier life.
2. Protect your wallet
You’ve probably heard that “knowing your numbers” is important to your health. It’s also important to your budget. Keeping your blood pressure, cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and body mass index (BMI) at healthy levels can save you thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket and total health care costs each year.
3. Start a relationship with your primary care doctor
The better your doctor knows you, the better he or she can identify risk factors or changes in your health. And the better you know your doctor, the more comfortable you’ll be with your care. Your doctor is also your go-to resource to coordinate your care with specialists, connect you with support programs and more.
Schedule your annual check-up now. If you don’t already have a primary care provider, find a doctor now.
*Plans may vary. Includes eligible in-network preventive care services. Some preventive care services may not be covered, including most immunizations for travel. Reference plan documents for a list of covered and non-covered preventive care service.
