This drug list is updated often so it isn’t a complete list of the medications your plan covers. Also, your specific plan may not cover all of these medications. Log in to the myCigna App and myCigna.com, or check your plan materials, to see all of the medications your plan covers. Prescription medications used to treat allergies (ex. Allegra, Clarinex, Xyzal and generics) and heartburn/stomach acid conditions (ex. Nexium, Prilosec and generics) aren’t covered on the Cigna Value 3-Tier Prescription Drug List. These medications are considered plan (or benefit) exclusions. You can get over-the-counter (OTC) versions of these medications at the pharmacy without a prescription. |

Health Savings Account (HSA)
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Cigna, in partnership with HSA Bank, will administer CKE's Health Savings Account. This alignment will create expedited claim resolution and easy access to your HSA funds for medical claims. If you are currently enrolled in an HSA and have an active account balance, you will have to re-enroll for 2022 and you will receive a new card from Cigna.
When you enroll in the HDHP, you can contribute your own tax-free money to an HSA (via payroll deduction, up to annual IRS limits). *If you contribute at least $500 of your own money to your HSA, CKE will make a matching contribution of $500. Then, shortly after enrollment, you will receive an HSA debit card in the mail. It works like a bank debit card at any vendor that accepts healthcare cards.
Keep in mind, the IRS Contribution Limit includes CKE’s contributions – so if you contribute $500 and CKE contributes $500, the IRS views this as $1,000 toward the limit. Make your elections accordingly!
