New Updates to Cigna – One Guide

LOOK WHAT’S NEW IN 2021 – ONE GUIDE, you may ask what is Cigna One Guide?  We first mentioned One Guide during Open Enrollment in November 2020, but that seems so long ago at this time.  Here is a reminder about the new services available to you through Cigna One Guide.

Cigna One Guide is a service to assist you in making more informed healthcare  choices by providing greater depth and ways to understand how your coverage works:

  • Explain the Explanation of Benefit (EOB) you received on a service,
  •  Give you answers to your health care or medical plan questions,
  • Find in-network doctors, labs and/or urgent care centers,
  • Connect with health coaches, pharmacists and more,
  • Stay on track with appointments and preventative care,
  •  Take advantage of dedicated one-on-one support for complex health situations,
  •  Learn ways to save and get the most value from your medical plan,
  •   Get cost-estimates and service comparison information to avoid surprises.

One Guide offers you the personal touch of a concierge service.  You can access One Guide in three different ways:

1.      Phone              Call the number on the back of your Cigna card,
