Types of Cigna Insurance Claims

Cigna provides claims in two ways - cashless claims and reimbursement claims. When you receive treatment in Cigna network hospital, you are granted a cashless claim. This claim is usually directly submitted by the hospital to the insurance provider. Based on your treatment, the hospital sends a Cigna insurance reimbursement claim form to Cigna Company. The company sanctions the medical treatment bill and you receive treatment. However, in case of emergency or some cases you are not able to find a cashless network hospital and so you seek treatment in a hospital outside the insurance provider’s hospital network. In hospitals outside Cigna’s hospital network, you receive treatment and pay the medical bills yourself. Once you are discharged and the treatment or the emergency phase of treatment is completed, you can submit Cigna insurance reimbursement form and receive a reimbursement claim on the medical bills you paid.
