NASHVILLE, TN – October 3, 2022 – For the fourth consecutive year, Cigna (NYSE:

Medicare Advantage (MA) plans with enhanced features and benefits in 581
counties within 28 states, growing its geographic presence by 22 percent. Cigna
has also doubled the size of its MA provider network over the past two years,
including significantly increasing the number of available specialists.

> “By leveraging the full capabilities of our enterprise, Cigna is able to offer

AFFORDABLE PLANS, ENHANCED BENEFITS TO SUPPORT SENIORS’ UNIQUE NEEDS

Cigna offers at least one $0 premium MA plan in every market. Most Cigna MA
customers will pay the same or reduced premiums compared to last year.

New or enhanced plan features, which vary by market, include:

 * Cigna Healthy Today flex card: Available to all customers, this card bundles
   benefits and incentives for convenient use at participating retailers.
   Depending on the plan, the card could include up to $200 in wellness
   incentives, including a reward for volunteerism, dollars to spend on
   over-the-counter health-related items, and an allowance for fitness supplies,
   utilities and groceries.
 * Caregiver support program: Available to customers and their caregivers in
   select markets, this program provides resources and assistance for issues
   that arise during caregiving, such as stress management support and help with
   organizing medical records, in order to help ease the strain of managing
   care.
 * Companionship and support program: To help combat loneliness, customers are
   paired with a partner who can help with daily activities or keep them
   company. The program was introduced last year and will be more broadly
   available.
 * Part B rebate plans: Cigna has expanded this benefit to about 25 percent of
   its MA plans for this year. The rebate, which ranges up to $130, is applied
   to reducing the customer’s Part B monthly premium. Customers can use these
   extra dollars for other needs.

The majority of Cigna MA plans include hearing, vision, dental and fitness
benefits, $0 copays for primary care when visiting in-network providers, meal
delivery service following a hospital discharge and coverage of some
over-the-counter health-related products. Most customers also have a
transportation benefit, which provides rides to and from the pharmacy, doctors’
appointments, vaccination clinics and cooling or warming centers.

Additionally, MA customers can access care through a 24-hour nurse help line, $0
copay virtual health care for medical, behavioral health and physical therapy
needs at in-network providers, home delivery of maintenance medications and
over-the-counter supplies, and the MyCigna app.


AFFORDABLE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLANS AND SUPPLEMENT OPTIONS

Cigna offers Medicare Supplement options in 48 states and the District of
Columbia, including affordable high-deductible supplement plan options in
several states, and discounts for members of the same household who each have
plans. Cigna also offers companion products for Medicare customers, such as
standalone dental plans, and dental, vision and hearing plans.

This year, Cigna also is offering the following three standalone Prescription
Drug Plans (PDPs) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico:

 * Cigna Saver Rx: This new, economical plan includes low premiums, low copays
   and savings on generic drugs.
 * Cigna Secure Rx: Available to serve customers with a low-income subsidy.
 * Cigna Extra Rx: Provides a high level of coverage and savings on select
   insulins with copays as low as $0 at a preferred pharmacy.

All plans have $0 copay options for select medications purchased through
preferred home delivery.

The AEP begins Oct. 15 and continues through Dec. 7. Most plans purchased during
