Prescription Drug Plan Costs & Benefits
Cigna Alliance Medicare includes an enhanced benefit Medicare Part D plan (PDP). Enhanced plans have a higher actuarial value than basic plans. Actuarial value simply refers to the percentage of cost that's covered by the plan.
Prescription Drug Plan Premium
Although the prescription drug plan (Part D) premium is bundled with the total plan cost, some plans have supplemental costs and/or offer low-income subsidy (LIS) assistance. LIS, also known as Extra Help, is a Social Security program that helps people with limited income and resources lower or cut Part D costs.
The following table outlines the prescription drug plan premium details of this plan.
Basic Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Supplemental Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Total Part D Premium: | $0.00 |
Part D Premium with Full LIS Assistance: | $0.00 |
If you would like more information about the Extra Help program, you can refer to the Social Security Extra Help page.

The Medicare Part D annual deductible with this plan is $0.00. This is the amount you must pay at the pharmacy before Cigna Healthcare begins paying its share.
Prescription Drug Plan Out-of-Pocket Costs
In addition to the plan's monthly premium and deductible, Cigna Alliance Medicare has out-of-pocket costs that you must pay when you pick up your prescriptions.

It's not a 5-star HMO plan, but its quality of care exceeds most Medicare Advantage HMO plans in the areas served (see list below). Staying healthy is the best way to save money on health care, and Cigna Alliance Medicare does a good job keeping its members in top health through preventive care, including screenings, tests, and vaccines. This plan is good at managing its member's chronic (long-term) health conditions.
Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in this Cigna Healthcare plan enjoy a good member experience. Complaints and changes in plan performance are one way we can measure quality, and this plan scores good at both. If you're concerned about how this health plan will treat you when you call for assistance, don't be. Members say it's good.
Beneficiaries searching for top value will find dental, vision, and hearing benefits available with this Medicare Advantage plan (limitations apply).
With no additional monthly premium, this plan can save you money if you're healthy. We love it when we see a plan with a maximum out-of-pocket (MOOP) limit less than $3,000, and this plan brings it in at $2,500 per year. The MOOP does not include prescriptions, but the good news is that a 5-day stay in the hospital with Cigna Alliance Medicare will probably cost less than Original Medicare. Even though members have copays with this health plan, they don't have to worry about a deductible.
