Medical technology is continuously evolving; our coverage policies are subject to change without prior notice. Additional coverage policies may be developed as needed or may be withdrawn from use. Additionally, some health plans administered by Cigna Healthcare SM , such as certain self-funded employer plans or governmental plans, may not use our coverage policies. Doctors and individuals should contact their Cigna Healthcare representative for specific coverage information.
