Paper Filing
We strongly encourage you to submit claims electronically through a clearinghouse to save time and money. However, if you need to file a paper claim, use one of these claim forms:

• UB04 form  for hospital charges
• CMS-1500  form for all other charges

Tips for paper claim submission:

• After completing the appropriate form, mail it to the address shown on the back of your patient's Cigna ID card.
• Use machine-printed forms whenever possible. Use black ink if you need to handwrite information.
• Include the patient's Cigna ID number on all claim attachments and correspondence.
