Welcome to Virginia Medical Plans’ 2018 enrollment guide for Cigna medical plans for individuals and families in Virginia.
About 2018 Cigna Health Insurance
If you live in certain counties of Virginia*, you can enroll in a Cigna health plan. You will have coverage when you visit a provider who participates in Cigna’s Virginia – Connect Network. You must select an in-network primary care physician (PCP), and referrals are required to visit a specialist.
Out-of-network care is not covered, except in the event of a true emergency. Therefore, please verify that your doctor, pharmacy, hospital or other medical provider is in-network with Cigna before receiving care.
Beginning April 1, 2018 the INOVA hospitals are in-network for the 2018 Cigna individual plans.
If you are eligible for a subsidy to help pay for health insurance, you must buy a Cigna plan through the exchange. Click here to find out if you may qualify for a subsidy in 2018.
