Cigna Out-of-Network Process
Cigna members can submit OON superbills through the mycigna.com member portal using the "Submit a Claim" feature, or by mailing a completed claim form to the OON claims address on their insurance card. Cigna's online portal provides real-time claim tracking and typically confirms receipt within 5 business days. Members should retain a copy of all submitted documents for their records.
Common Denial Reasons
- ✗Provider is identified as in-network with Cigna in any state, voiding OON benefits in some plans
- ✗Superbill does not include the rendering provider's taxonomy code
- ✗Session dates fall outside the plan's mental health benefit year
- ✗Duplicate claim submitted — Cigna flags re-submissions automatically
Tips for Getting Reimbursed by Cigna
- ✓Clients should verify their OON mental health deductible separately from their medical deductible

- ✓Include your taxonomy code (e.g., 101YM0800X for mental health counselors) on every superbill
- ✓Cigna offers a price transparency tool so clients can estimate reimbursement before submitting
