If you live in the U.S. or Puerto Rico and Express Scripts is your administrator
For prescriptions filled in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, retail and mail-order prescriptions are available, and most major pharmacy chains are in-network. All prescription drug purchases, whether at pharmacies or for home-delivery, must be made through Express Scripts (ESI), and not Cigna Healthcare.
For prescriptions filled outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico: You may obtain prescription medications at any pharmacy, but you must pay the full cost of the prescription drug and then file a claim for reimbursement with Cigna Healthcare. (In this case, you do not file a claim with Express Scripts.) You will be reimbursed for the cost of the prescription minus the $5.00 co-pay for up to a 30-day supply that applies outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico. If you are submitting a claim for a prescription drug, it must correspond with a doctor’s office visit during which your medication was prescribed.
Use the Cigna Healthcare medical claim form. Please make sure to include:
- The primary member name, including Cigna ID number
- Please be sure the detailed invoice/receipt you are submitting includes:
- Date of service (mm/dd/yyyy)
- Patient name
- Description/Name of each medication
- Charge amount for each medication
- Proof of payment (e.g., credit card or other receipt) if the invoice from the provider does not show “amount paid” with a zero balance
See the Medical Section above for your options to submit a medical claim form.
