Welcome to Virginia Medical Plans’ 2021 Cigna health insurance enrollment guide for individuals and families in Virginia.
About 2021 Cigna Health Insurance
If you live in the Virginia counties* shown in dark orange on the map to the left, you can enroll in a Cigna health plan. (New addition in 2021 – Spotsylvania County).
You must choose providers who participate in the Cigna Connect network. Be sure to designate a primary care provider (PCP) who accepts “Cigna Connect”. Starting in 2021, you will no longer be required to have a referral from your PCP to visit a specialist.
Out-of-network care is not covered, except in the event of a true emergency. Always verify that a doctor, pharmacy, hospital or other medical provider is in-network with Cigna Connect before you seek care.
All plans in 2021 offer 24/7 virtual care at no cost ($0). You can also choose a plan that covers acupuncture or one that is good for diabetes.
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 2021.
