* State laws in Texas and Louisiana require health insurance plans to cover your medications at your current benefit level until your plan renews. This means that if your medication is taken off the drug list, is moved to a higher cost-share tier or needs approval, your plan can’t make these changes until your renewal date. To find out if these state laws apply to your plan, please call Customer Service using the number on the back of your ID card.
+ This is a specialty medication. Some plans cover these medications on a specialty tier, may limit you to a 30-day supply and/or require you to use Cigna Specialty Pharmacy (our home delivery pharmacy) to fill your prescription. For plans that cover specialty medications on a specialty tier, this change will not affect the cost of the medication. If you’re enrolled with Cigna, log in to the myCigna website or app or check your plan materials to learn more about your plan’s coverage requirements for specialty medications.
++ Approval may be required for new prescriptions filled on or after July 1st.^ These medications require approval from Cigna before they may be covered by your plan. If your doctor feels an alternative medication isn’t right for you, he or she can ask Cigna to consider
approving coverage of your medication.^^ These changes may not apply to your plan. Not all plans include requirements for prior authorization, quantity limits and/or Step Therapy. If you’re enrolled with Cigna, please check your plan
materials or log in to the myCigna website or app starting July 1st to learn more about how your plan covers these medications.# Quantity limits may apply to new prescriptions filled on or after July 1st.
## This is a Step Therapy medication. Step Therapy medications aren’t covered by your plan without approval from Cigna. Your plan requires you to try a lower-cost alternative first. Typically, these are generics or lower-cost preferred brands.
** Your plan doesn’t cover more than one tablet/capsule in this strength a day. If your doctor feels a higher strength of this medication once each day isn’t right for you, he or she can ask Cigna to consider approving coverage of your current medication strength.
Cigna reserves the right to make changes to the Drug List without notice.
Health benefit plans vary, but in general to be eligible for coverage a drug must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), prescribed by a health care professional, purchased from a licensed pharmacy and medically necessary. If your plan provides coverage for certain prescription drugs with no cost-share, you may be required to use an in-network pharmacy to fill the prescription. If you use a pharmacy that does not participate in your plan’s network, your prescription may not be covered, or reimbursement may be limited by your plan’s copayment, coinsurance or deductible requirements. Certain features described in this document may not be applicable to your specific health plan, and plan features may vary by location and plan type. Refer to your plan documents for costs and complete details of your plan’s prescription drug coverage.
