The Wesleyan Open Access Plus and Open Access Plus In-Network plans have an annual deductible of $500 for individuals and $1,000 for families.

The following services fall under this deductible:
Lab work
Imaging (X-ray, MRI, PET, CT, and ultrasound)
Durable medical equipment
Inpatient procedures and services
Outpatient procedures and services
Home health care
Prosthetic devices
Hearing aids
Gene Therapy
Skilled Nursing (OAP Plan)

Once the deductible is met, these services are covered at 100% for the rest of the plan year.

The deductible also counts toward your annual out-of-pocket maximum.

All preventive services that are coded as preventive are covered at 100%. A diagnostic procedure is subject to the applicable deductible and copay. Make sure you talk with your provider about the procedure so you know how it is being billed.

Call Cigna at 1-800-244-6224 or log into your myCigna.com portal to look up the date of service correlating to the bill. Many times, bills are sent by the provider before Cigna has fully processed the claim. Always check your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to see how the claim is being processed. A representative at Cigna is available to help you resolve any eligibility or claim issues you have.

Your doctor should be able to help you with an appeal to Cigna. If you have a medical need, they should be able to document this with Cigna to help with an approval. Have your provider’s office contact Cigna to initiate the appeal process for you.
