$0 premium plans available in Duval, Clay counties
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Oct. 31, 2022 – Cigna is expanding its Medicare Advantage (MA) presence to the Jacksonville area for the first time, offering $0 premium plans with attractive extra benefits in Duval and Clay counties. These plans will be available to Medicare-eligible customers during Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP), which begins Oct. 15 and continues through Dec. 7. They will be effective Jan. 1, 2023.
“We have been providing Medicare beneficiaries in other parts of Florida with access to quality, affordable MA plans for more than a decade,” said Steven Saathoff, president of Cigna's Medicare business in central and south Florida. “We are thrilled to be expanding to the Jacksonville area to give residents more choices so they can find the plan that fits their health needs, lifestyle and budget.”
Plans being offered in Duval and Clay counties include Cigna Preferred Medicare (HMO), Cigna Preferred Savings Medicare (HMO), and Cigna True Choice (PPO), all with a $0 premium; and Cigna TotalCare (HMO D-SNP) and Cigna TotalCare Plus (HMO D-SNP), which are plans for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, featuring a companionship and support program to help participants with instrumental activities of daily living and socialization.
Medicare Advantage plans are popular with people who qualify for Medicare because they include benefits that original Medicare does not. All plans include the following:
- $0 copay for in-person and virtual primary care and behavioral services when visiting an in-network provider
- A dental allowance to be used for preventive and comprehensive non-cosmetic services at any licensed dentist who accepts Medicare
- Hearing and vision benefits
- A fitness benefit, including a fitness tracker
- Meal delivery following a hospital discharge
- An allowance for certain over-the-counter (OTC) health-related purchases
- The Healthy Today flex card, which can be used at participating retailers to redeem benefits and incentives, such as wellness incentives and OTC dollars
Cigna Preferred Savings Medicare also includes a monthly $100 rebate on Medicare Part B premiums. Routine transportation services are available on all HMO plans.
Cigna also offers Medicare Supplement plans and standalone prescription drug plans across all of Florida.
