Health insurance can feel complicated at times. π«¨
A = 'Acute care' is care for life threatening medical problems. This includes things like heart attacks and strokes. It might also be for a severe burn or injury. Cigna calls this "emergency care".
B = A 'Benefit' is a service your health plan covers. For example, you might have prescription drug benefits. That means your health plan covers part or all of the cost of certain medications.
C = Your 'Contract' explains the benefits you get as a member. That means the things your health plan will pay for.
Our glossary breaks down key health insurance terms to help make understanding your benefits a little easier.
