Does Cigna Cover SilverSneakers?

Cigna Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans do not include a SilverSneakers benefit. However, many Cigna Medicare plans do feature membership to a very similar fitness program called “Silver&Fit.” The availability of a Silver&Fit membership included in a Cigna Medicare Advantage plan may vary by location.

What Else Do Cigna Medicare Advantage Plans Include?

While Silver&Fit is an attractive perk, it’s just one of many benefits included in Cigna Medicare Advantage plans. In addition to having all of the same coverage as Medicare Part A and Part B, a Cigna Medicare Advantage plan may include certain benefits not found in Original Medicare.
