CIGNA is one of the largest health plans in the nation. It provides benefits primarily through managed care plans (either health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, or point-of-service plans). Coverage and payment for cochlear implant services varies according to the requirements of each CIGNA plan, as well as employer-negotiated provisions.
