Answers to your health and prescription benefits questions can be found on mycigna.com. Set up a profile and within a few minutes you can order replacement cards, check your deductible, confirm coverage for an upcoming doctor’s appointment and look for health care providers. You can also manage your prescriptions online using Cigna’s Home Delivery Pharmacy.

Cigna is the provider for Wilson’s vision insurance program. Benefits are paid through Vision Service Plan (VSP), which is how your eye doctor may refer to it.

VSP does not provide insurance cards and participating eye doctors can access your coverage using your social security number. Information on Wilson’s vision program can be found on the human resources benefits page of my.wilson.edu at http://my.wilson.edu/benefit-information.
