Cigna reserves the right to make changes to the Drug List without notice. Your plan may cover additional medications; please refer to your enrollment materials for details. Cigna does not take responsibility for any medication decisions made by the doctor or pharmacist. Cigna may receive payments from manufacturers of certain preferred brand medications, and in limited instances, certain non-preferred brand medications, that may or may not be shared with your plan depending on its arrangement with Cigna. Depending upon plan design, market conditions, the extent to which manufacturer payments are shared with your plan and other factors as of the date of service, the preferred brand medication may or may not represent the lowest-cost brand medication within its class for you and/or your plan. Health benefit plans vary, but in general to be eligible for coverage a drug must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), prescribed by a health care professional, purchased from a licensed pharmacy and medically necessary. If your plan provides coverage for certain prescription drugs with no cost-share, you may be required to use an in-network pharmacy to fill the prescription. If you use a pharmacy that does not participate in your plan’s network, your prescription may not be covered, or reimbursement may be limited by your plan’s copayment, coinsurance or deductible requirements. Certain features described in this document may not be applicable to your specific health plan, and plan features may vary by location and plan type. Refer to your plan documents for costs and complete details of your plan’s prescription drug coverage.
