Due to evolving medical practice, The Cigna Fee Schedule is reviewed periodically and therefore, complexities and/or fee values of procedures may change, maximum procedure fee reimbursement could go up or down.
Before treating a Cigna member
All practitioners should advise Cigna costs of any treatment (including consultations) being provided. If fees exceed the Cigna Fee Schedule, practitioners should advise the member prior to treatment taking place and Cigna reserves the right to shortfall the balance.

CCSD schedule
Cigna is a member of The Clinical Coding and Schedule Development (CCSD) group. The CCSD schedule contains industry standard codes for surgical procedures and diagnostic tests in UK private healthcare. Their key initiative is to develop a common set of codes and descriptions across the UK private healthcare sector.
The CCSD schedule is reviewed regularly and reflects current medical practice. At each review, new codes are added, existing codes updated and some codes deleted. Please go to ccsd.org.uk to view the schedule and to learn more about the objectives of CCSD.
