With this plan you will have access to the Cigna Local Plus Network. An important thing to know about this plan is that both the family deductible and family out-of-pocket maximum are embedded. This means that on a family plan each covered member must meet their individual deductible — up to the maximum family deductible — and each covered member has an individual out-of-pocket maximum — up to the family out-of-pocket maximum.
Please check with Cigna to see if your provider is in the Cigna Local Plus Network so that you can take advantage of greater discounts on care for you and your family.
