As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we appreciate that providers across the country are on the front line to offer dedicated care to our customers and help protect local communities.

As federal guidelines continue to evolve in support of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have again extended our interim coverage accommodations for commercial Cigna medical services, as follows:

  • The cost-share waiver for COVID-19 diagnostic testing and related office visits is extended until January 21, 2021.
  • The cost-share waiver for COVID-19 related treatment is extended until December 31, 2020.
  • Some other interim accommodations (e.g., for credentialing and authorizations) are extended through December 31, 2020, as outlined on this page.
  • The interim COVID-19 virtual care guidelines as outlined on this page are in place until December 31, 2020. Beginning January 1, 2021, we will implement a new Virtual Care Reimbursement Policy. Please visit CignaforHCP.com/virtualcare for additional information about this new policy.
