Why online claim reconsideration? 

  • Avoid having to call Customer Service for simple claim adjustments. 
  • Save time: No need to mail or fax.
  • Use the notes section to explain your request.
  • Use the upload feature to attach supporting documentation. 
  • Be confident your request was received.
  • View the status of the reconsideration request. 

How to use the new feature 

After logging into CignaforHCP.com, conduct a claim search, select that claim to review the details. Click the Start a Reconsideration button at the top of the page and follow the steps.  

Registered users of CignaforHCP.com who have the ability to view claims will need to have their website access manager update their access to include “reconsiderations’ to use this feature.
