New effort launches to reduce health disparities by
giving eligible customers flexibility to spend their health care
dollars on key living needs
To address social determinants of health barriers, Cigna
Healthcare is launching a "living needs allowance" in many of its
Dual-Eligible Special Needs (DSNP) plans in 2025. This allowance
gives customers the flexibility to decide where to spend their
dollars. Choices include such things as healthy foods,
transportation and gas, utility costs and cleaning supplies.
The living needs allowance, rewards and incentives, and some
other benefits are enabled through the Cigna Healthy Today flex
card, which allows customers to purchase goods at around 65,000
eligible retail locations.
Affordable Prescription Drug Plans and Supplement
Options
In addition to MA, Cigna Healthcare provides customers with
options to meet a variety of different health needs, lifestyles,
and budget goals through its Medicare Supplement and Prescription
Drug Plan (PDP) options.
Medicare Supplement plans offer flexible, affordable options
and, in most states, premium discounts for customers of the same
household and for those who apply online. Cigna Healthcare also
offers companion products, such as standalone dental plans,
hospital indemnity, short-term care, and a combined plan including
dental, vision, and hearing.
Medicare Supplement plans are often paired with a standalone
PDP. For 2025, Cigna Healthcare offers the following PDP plans:
- Cigna Healthcare Saver Rx: This plan includes low
premiums, low to $0 copays, savings
on many generic drugs, and select supplemental benefits, such as
prescription vitamins.
- Cigna Healthcare Assurance Rx: Available to serve
customers with Extra Help or those looking for basic coverage.
- Cigna Healthcare Extra Rx: Provides flexible coverage
with a large pharmacy network, savings on many generics, and select
supplemental benefits, such as prescription vitamins, a high level
of coverage with a robust drug list, a low deductible, and special
savings with gap coverage.
All plans have $0 copay options
for select medications purchased through preferred home
delivery.
