Wellness and Health Management: Preventive Care

Understanding the full value of covered benefits allows you to maintain good health and build healthy habits.

With Cigna Healthcare, getting and staying healthy is important. That’s why most health plans include coverage for eligible preventive care services at no additional cost to you, when you receive them from a provider who participates in your plan’s network. This means no out-of-pocket costs to you. Covered preventive care services can include, but are not limited to:

Health Insurance 101

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network

In-Network providers have contracts with health plans to offer services at discounted rates. Out-of-Network providers are not contracted and rates are higher.

Explanation of Benefits (EOB)

A statement from the insurance provider showing what was billed, what the plan paid, and what you may still owe. An EOB is not a bill.

Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC)

A standardized overview of what the plan covers, costs, and examples of how the plan would pay for common medical situations.

Qualifying Life Event (QLE)

Qualified life change that allows midyear benefit changes.

Reasonable & Customary

Typical cost for services in your area.

Before enrolling, take a moment to review these key terms to better understand and navigate the benefits options with confidence. See your specific plan summary for additional details.

Premium

Amount you pay for coverage, which is separate from the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.

Copayment

A fixed amount you pay for services that counts towards your out-ofpocket maximum, not the deductible.

Deductible

Amount paid for covered services before your insurance plan starts to pay on your behalf.

The percentage paid after meeting the deductible.

The highest amount paid annually for covered services. Afterwards, the plan pays 100% (with minimal exceptions).
