Cigna Adds Three Additional States To Its ACA Marketplace Presence For 2023.

The MDLIVE system will offer new virtual primary care services as part of the plan.

By expanding the availability of its ACA Marketplace exchange plans in 2023, Cigna will give more consumers and communities access to health insurance. Cigna health plans will be offered on the individual exchange in three new states — Indiana, South Carolina, and Texas — as well as in additional counties in Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina during the 2018 open enrollment season, which starts in November. According to company representatives, starting in the next year, these new areas might potentially reach up to 730,000 additional clients.

According to Charles Berg, president of Cigna’s U.S. Government business, “As a society, we continue to see a significant need for a competitive and sustainable individual market, which is why Cigna has maintained its presence on the ACA Marketplace since 2014 and continues to expand into new areas.” “We are able to provide more individuals access to inexpensive, high-quality care that contributes to superior health outcomes by expanding into geographic areas where we have strong provider partnerships,” the company claims.

In 363 counties spanning 16 states, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, Cigna will now offer individual and family plans on the individual exchanges (subject to final regulatory approvals).

All Cigna clients will have 24/7 video access to the network of primary care doctors on MDLIVE starting in 2023. The network of MDLIVE also provides access to virtual dermatological and behavioral health services. According to the business, MDLIVE offers members access to virtual urgent-acute care and wellness exams for nothing.

The myCigna® mobile app and Cigna One Guide®, which offer proactive and individualized support on queries regarding plans, methods to save money, and locating high-quality care providers, will both be part of Cigna’s 2023 plans.

The Walgreens Advantage pharmacy network, more extensive $0 benefit options, affordable prescription medicines, and incentives for healthy behavior are all included in the plans.

Open enrollment for the company’s 2023 plans runs from November 1, 2022, until January. 15, 2023. Health insurance policies acquired before December 15 during the Open Enrollment Period go into effect on January 1, 2023.
