Having moved from Vermont to the Villages, we dropped BCBSVT for CIGNA/Assurant based on the recommendation of a friend of a neighbor. This was a
HUGE mistake!! Hardly any of the care facilities in TV are in network with CIGNA. Unless they improve dramatically, I would steer clear of CIGNA, period.
Based on our subsequent research, and discussions with care facility staff (specifically post-stroke rehab), we've learned that United Health Care, BCBS, and Humana rank highest on their list of providers. I hear, too, that Tri-Care is supposed to be pretty good but we've not reviewed their coverage yet. None suggest SIGNA.
Good luck. Be specific in what it is you need covered and select the insurance accordingly. We didn't, and we're paying for it dearly with our health, plus out of pocket expenses.
