Worst Experience and medical insurance. I do not recommend
My C-section was planned in October 2020 and the hospital sent all the required documents to the insurance and cigna medical team asked for the report. Unfortunately due to emergency, I had to deliver my baby girl 2 weeks prior to the planned C-Section. Cigna was informed of the delivery and the so called medical team requested for the medical report. I contacted the hospital's Ultrasound department, the medical records team and the billing team who confirmed that the report was sent but Cigna denies having received it. After 3 months of follow up, they are covering only basic routine maternity bills, I am a GOLD member and they do not even see the limits for a C-Section. The medical team who reviews the bills should have been in the hospital during the C-Section to evaluate the reason why an emergency C-section was done, this only has to do with saving a baby's life. I have been calling the customer service several times and got confirmation on 23th Feb 2020 that Cigna has received the report on 7th Dec 2020 and when I called yesterday, the agent said, cigna didn't receive the medical report yet. My husband lost his job due to Covid in Mar 2020. I managed to pay the insurance all the bills and now I am being told that I will not be covered. I was out of the country for months due to Covid restrictions and only claimed routine pregnancy check ups in September even if I was a member for more than 3 years. I am very disappointed with Cigna. If you are an expatriate, never get Cigna as insurance because when you have to claim your bills, you will be said your child will not be covered as he or she is now a US citizen and will not be covered by Cigna. Cigna Team, where should I have given birth to the child if I live in US???? This is very RIDICULOUS. Don't cheat people and take people's money when you cannot provide a minimum service. The customer service is poor to such an extent that they do not even have follow ups and common sense in dealing with claims and people. Cigna team, you are dealing with people's money, please at least be human. The whole world is dealing with an unprecedented pandemic, at least do your part to people who were able to pay your bills. I left the US and the Cigna Insurance due to the pandemic and all my bills have to be taken care as per the policy guide. I would never recommend anyone to take Cigna as insurance. Once they get you money, they don't care about your bills.
