Will any money not used carry over?
Cigna Healthspring OTC – Yes. You could even save your allowances so that you can buy more expensive things later in the year. Again, starting in 2020, any balances that aren’t used will roll over to the next quarter, but they won’t carry over to the next year.
How many orders am I allowed to send?
You can order up to 12 times a year, once a month.
Whatever is ordered must be for a Cigna customer. Cigna won’t let you buy over-the-counter (OTC) items for family or friends.
How long until I get the things I ordered?
Home delivery will take between 5 and 7 business days.
Cigna Healthspring OTC – You can’t order more than the amount you’re allowed to get. For example, if your total benefit is $10 and the total of your order is $10.95, you will need to delete or remove items from your order to bring the total back down to $10 or less so that you can send the request. You will have to make sure that the total amount you owe doesn’t go over the amount of your monthly benefit.
