How it works
There are consistent payments and opportunities to save:
  • Groups can pay a fixed monthly payment
  • Cigna pays covered claims
    • If claims are lower than expected, renewing clients are eligible to get 50% or 67% of the savings back.**
    • If claims are higher than expected, clients do not have to pay more.
  • Year-end accounting summarizes actual plan costs
  • Cigna holds money to pay for claims incurred prior to termination***
  • Self-funded contract
Pricing incentives
Cigna requires a member-level census to quote. A GRx score is created by using prescription history and predictive modeling. A fixed-cost credit is offered based on the member-level census (GRx) score:
  • High GRx discount = six-month, fixed-cost credit
  • Low GRx discount = three-month, fixed-cost credit
  • No GRx discount or increment = one-month, fixed-cost credit
Member surplus guarantee
Cigna is offering clients a guaranteed surplus of $200 per member. For example, if a client has 100 members, Cigna will guarantee the client’s share to be at least $20,000. The client must renew to earn their surplus, which will be applied to the fourth month of the new plan year.
