Cigna

Does your employer offer Cigna? Here is what that means at our Bronx office. Moses Medical at 871B Westchester Ave is in-network for Cigna HMO, PPO, and Medicare Advantage plans. Most Cigna members we see got their plan through work. If your HR department handed you a Cigna card during open enrollment, you can use it here for primary care and specialist visits.

Cigna-Covered Services

Your Cigna plan covers these services at our practice:

• Primary care for annual physicals, preventive screenings, and sick visits
• Internal medicine for diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol management
• Cardiology for heart evaluations and cardiovascular risk assessment
• Dermatology for skin conditions, mole checks, and medical skin exams
• Behavioral health for therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management
• Pain management for chronic back pain, arthritis, and nerve pain
• Podiatry for foot and ankle problems and diabetic foot exams
• Ophthalmology for medical eye exams, glaucoma screening, and diabetic eye monitoring
• Women’s health for well-woman visits and reproductive care
• Lab services drawn and processed on-site
• Radiology for X-rays and imaging

Copay and coinsurance amounts depend on the plan your employer selected. Our front desk verifies this before your appointment.

Before You Come In

Cigna HMO members: You need a referral from your PCP before seeing a specialist. If you do not have a PCP yet, choose a Moses Medical doctor as yours. Call us at (646) 741-2111 or tell our front desk. Once your PCP is on file, most referrals are written the same day.

Cigna PPO members: You can see any specialist in our office without a referral. You still pay less when you stay in-network.

Cigna Medicare Advantage members: Your plan may cover services beyond Original Medicare, including dental, hearing, vision, and fitness programs. Log into myCigna.com or call 1-800-997-1654 to check.

Bring your Cigna ID card and a photo ID to your first visit. Our team confirms your copay before you see the doctor. If any service needs prior authorization, we handle the paperwork.

Benefits Cigna Members Leave on the Table

Your annual wellness visit costs $0 on most plans. The annual wellness visit is separate from a sick visit. It includes blood work and age-based screenings. One checkup a year is the cheapest way to stay ahead of problems.

Physical therapy visits go unused. Most Cigna plans cover a set number of physical therapy sessions per year. If you have a stiff shoulder, a bad knee, or are recovering from surgery, those visits are already paid for. Starting PT early means faster recovery.

Federal parity law requires your Cigna plan to cover behavioral health the same way it covers a medical visit. Federal parity law requires it. If work stress, anxiety, or depression is affecting your daily life, behavioral health visits are part of your plan. HMO members get a same-day referral from their PCP. PPO members book directly.

Chronic pain does not have to be your normal. If you have been living with back or joint pain for months, our pain management team can build a treatment plan your Cigna plan covers.
