    Your digital ID cards go everywhere you do

    You may not automatically receive medical, vision, and pharmacy ID cards in the mail at the beginning of your plan year.

    You have immediate access to your digital ID cards and proof of coverage anytime you need them, right from myCigna.com or the mobile app. Apple users—go to your digital ID card on the app to add to your Apple Wallet®.

    Getting Care

    Get virtual, in-person, or immediate care

    Virtual care (telehealth)3

    Your plan provides access to medical, mental health, and wellness virtual care (telehealth) options so you have access to care 24/7.

    Activate your myCigna account to set up virtual care or learn more about our virtual care services.

    Schedule your preventive care—it’s no cost to you

    Preventive care is covered 100% by your plan when you go to in-network doctors and providers.4 This benefit, alone, can save you hundreds of dollars a year.

    Preventive care usually includes:

    Your annual check-up

    Flu shots

    Most routine screenings and vaccinations

    What about getting other kinds of medical care and services?

    For visits with doctors and providers for medical issues that are not preventive, here are some tips:

    • If required by your plan, get a referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP)
    • Go to in-network doctors, specialists, hospitals, and facilities
    • Know how your plan covers you for non-preventive care and services
    • Track where you are with your deductible and coinsurance, if they apply

    Activate your myCigna account to view details of your coverage and covered services.

    Not sure what type of care you need?

    Talk to a nurse for free.

    Call .

    Need immediate care?

    If you need to see a doctor right away, you have options depending on the type of medical care needed.

    Convenience Care Clinics

    When you need face-to-face medical attention for minor illnesses (flu shots, vaccines, allergies, etc.) but can’t wait for an appointment, a Convenience Care Clinic (walk-in clinic) is your best bet for immediate, affordable care.

    Find a Convenience Care Clinic near you

    Urgent Care Centers

    If you need medical attention for a non-emergency medical condition (back pain, colds and flu, broken bones, etc.), an Urgent Care Center typically costs less than the ER with shorter wait times.

    Find an Urgent Care Clinic near you

    Emergency Room (ER)

    If you have a life-threatening medical condition, were in a serious accident, or suddenly become ill, go to the Emergency Room. This is typically the most expensive option and reserved for emergencies only.

    Continuity of Care

    Starting a new plan? Avoid gaps in care.

    You may be able to continue to receive services for certain medical and behavioral conditions at an in-network coverage level, even if your current health care provider isn’t in your new plan’s network. Apply for Transition of Care to determine if you are eligible.

    To apply for either Continuity of Care or Transition of Care, go to Customer Forms. These forms are under the Medical section.
