Cigna Medicare HSConnect Portal

Cigna MA has reported two known issues with HSConnect. 

  1. Referrals are pending unnecessarily.
  2. The procedure start and end date are defaulting to the same day. 

An expected date for resolution has not been provided. 

But there is good news (tongue in cheek) the PHE has been extended. Therefore, referrals are still waived. Those items requiring precertification will continue to need an authorization.
