Autopay: The Hassle-Free Solution
Cigna’s Automatic Payment (Autopay) option is perfect for those who want to eliminate the hassle of remembering due dates and manual payments. By enrolling in Autopay, your monthly premium will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account, debit card, or charged to your credit card, ensuring timely payments and uninterrupted coverage.
To sign up for Autopay or make changes to your existing automatic payment settings, you can do so:
- Online: Through the secure online bill payment service or your myCigna account.

- By Mail: Download, complete, and submit the Automatic Payment Form (Recurring Direct Debit) [PDF] or Credit Card Authorization Form [PDF].
Paying Through Government Benefits
If you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits, Cigna offers the convenience of having your monthly plan premiums automatically deducted from your benefit payments. This option ensures that you never miss a payment, providing peace of mind and hassle-free premium management.
To set up this payment method, you’ll need your Cigna Healthcare ID card, customer ID number, ZIP code, and date of birth. Contact Cigna’s Customer Service, and they’ll guide you through the enrollment process.

For those who prefer more traditional payment methods, Cigna offers the following options:
