Cigna Medical

Health care needs are different for everyone. Our medical plan offers multiple options so you can choose the coverage level best-suited to your needs and budget.

SFA offers three different medical plan options through Cigna. All of the available options give you access to Cigna's Open Access Plus (OAP) network and offer high-quality, comprehensive care. The Open Access Plus network is Cigna's broad seamless national network. The plans differ in the way the cost of care is structured and in the strategies that you can use to control your expenses:


Cigna Choice (CDHP)

The consumer driven health plan (CDHP) offers an all-in-one approach to health care. These plans use high deductibles coupled with tax-advantaged Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and lower premiums to help you better control your health care spending.


Cigna Choice Plus (CDHP)

The Cigna Choice Plus plan offers both In-Network and Out-of-Network benefits, allowing you additional coverage if you elect to see a provider outside of Cigna's Open Access Plus network. The Choice CDHP Plan provides you in-network only coverage with Cigna's largest nationwide network.


Cigna PPO

The Cigna PPO plan are traditional plans that give you the greatest flexibility, combined with lower costs when you choose a provider within Cigna’s broad national network. Choosing health professionals who participate in Cigna's Open Access Plus network will help keep your costs lower and eliminate paperwork.


Networks

You can always reference what Cigna network you're using by checking your ID card or looking on www.myCigna.com. The correct network for those who reside in California is Select Plus, and the network for those who reside outside of California is Choice Plus.

Deductible - The amount you must pay for medical services, before the plan pays a benefit. Preventive care is always covered at 100% with no deductible required. 


Coinsurance - This is the percentage of the cost you pay for certain services after the deductible has been met. You can think of this as “cost sharing.” For example, once your deductible has been met you could pay 20% for the cost of certain services and the plan could pay 80%. 


Copay - The flat fee paid by the member when a medical service is received, i.e. $20 for a doctor's visit or $20 for a prescription. 

 

In-Network Provider - An in-network provider is a hospital, doctor, medical group, and/or other healthcare provider contracted to provide services to insurance company customers for a discounted fee. Using these providers will lessen your medical expenses when using your benefits. 

 

Out-of-Network Provider - An out-of-network provider is a hospital, doctor, medical group, or other healthcare provider who is not contracted to provide services to insurance company customers. Because the fees are not negotiated in advance with the insurance company, the provider can charge the member as much as they wish.


Out-of-Pocket Maximum - The maximum amount a member would have to pay out of their pocket for medical expenses for the year, with the exception of benefit premiums (which come out of your paycheck). Your out-of-pocket maximum includes your deductible, any coinsurance paid and all copayments (medical and prescription drug).
