CIGNA commenced its journey as a marine insurance company named Insurance Company of North America (INA) in Philadelphia, the United States in 1792. INA became one of the most significant insurance companies in the US and soon it spread across the world. In 1982, the company (INA) combined with Connecticut General Corporation (CG) to form Cigna. Today, Cigna is one of the largest health insurance companies in the world providing pharmacy, health, dental, and supplemental insurance and medicare plans to individuals, businesses, and families in over 150 countries. The company is the preferred choice of over 95 million customers for the impeccable services it offers along with ease of claims. While filing the Cigna reimbursement form, you need to know several things. We’ll walk you through the entire reimbursement process.
Cigna provides claims in two ways - cashless claims and reimbursement claims. When you receive treatment in Cigna network hospital, you are granted a cashless claim. This claim is usually directly submitted by the hospital to the insurance provider. Based on your treatment, the hospital sends a Cigna insurance reimbursement claim form to Cigna Company. The company sanctions the medical treatment bill and you receive treatment. However, in case of emergency or some cases you are not able to find a cashless network hospital and so you seek treatment in a hospital outside the insurance provider’s hospital network. In hospitals outside Cigna’s hospital network, you receive treatment and pay the medical bills yourself. Once you are discharged and the treatment or the emergency phase of treatment is completed, you can submit Cigna insurance reimbursement form and receive a reimbursement claim on the medical bills you paid.
