Hey guys, what’s the scoop on Cigna insurance plans? Any of you rockin’ Cigna through your job? How’s it treating you? Wondering if I should stick with them or look elsewhere for my health coverage. Got a baby on the horizon (next year), but still haven’t sorted out my insurance situation.

If your employer is self-funded, they’re the ones setting the terms of the plan, and Cigna just handles the administrative side of things.
I’ve had experience with most of the big insurance companies and haven’t faced any major problems, but everyone’s got their own take on it.
For more specific advice, I’d suggest checking out local subreddits because the availability of health insurance networks can vary depending on where you are, especially if you’re not on a nationwide PPO plan.

Though experiences vary, Cigna insurance policies typically offer decent coverage. While some find their customer service and network poor, others find them valuable. Think about their maternity and pediatric coverage if you are expecting a child. To make an informed choice, evaluate your unique needs, compare options, and read reviews.
