Q&A Cigna training session by TOSCA POOL https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2 with friendly support by SALTO European Solidarity Corps Resource Centre en-us 2022-04-26 05:02:48 UTC 2022-05-02 06:57:27 UTC hello@padlet.com Please add your questions you have for Cigna staff in order to structure the discussion toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2157860412 2022-04-26 05:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2157860412 The volunteers are often unable to solve their problems with the CIGNA on their own, this is also the reason why National agencies and organizations must also have sufficient access to information (insurance conditions) and forms. Where can NAs find the latest coverage overview file and further supporting documents? toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2157867329 2022-04-26 05:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2157867329 Coverage leaflet toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158070297 The insurance coverage file for volunteers does not exist anymore (double page to be forwarded), this is needed BEFORE the project starts as in some cases additional insurance is needed, is an update foreseen?
The only available coverage is from 2019 https://www.salto-youth.net/downloads/4-17-3959/cigna_FAQ2019.pdf]]> 2022-04-26 07:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158070297 Columns toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158076690 You can enter your questions under the following columns:

How is the process? What documents do the volunteers receive and by what means? In which language? Not all volunteers speak English. What information do the organizations that register the volunteers with CIGNA via the PASS tool receive at the moment are probably the organizations that submitted the budget application (namely the project management organizations - Lead). How NA´s can make sure that all volunteers are actually insured?]]> 2022-04-26 07:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158079531 How can volunteers reach Cigna? toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158080843 How to reach Cigna staff for volunteers? Is phone service available in other languages rather than French/English? This is form the past experiences a barrier for many volunteers]]> 2022-04-26 07:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158080843 Automatical registration for full coverage for volunteers from/to EU neighbouring countries toscapool https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158083813 Full coverage for volunteers from third countries, who require total cover, cannot be indicated in MT+/Ben.module However, full cover is required for all volunteers from third countries and european volunteers to third countries, since the EHIC is only valid in EU member states. 
As a result, in each single case discussions must first be held with CIGNA. At the moment, the CIGNA registration is "automatic" via the PASS tool and in the future it should be done via the Beneficiary Module. There must be a technical possibility of specifying complementary or full coverage, or CIGNA could automatically program volunteers who come from non-EHIC countries or travel to non-EHIC countries so that full cover always applies.

How is this foreseen in the future?]]> 2022-04-26 08:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158085894 Mental health support anettmanniste https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158127101 Cigna has opened up a support line for mental health issues, which is super. However, is currently a psychatric evaluation before going to a psychologist or therapist? Is there a possibility to just go directly to a (clinical) psychologist without a psychatric evaluation?]]> 2022-04-26 08:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158127101 BM does not work https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158336383 in our projects mobilities are in draft and can not be saved, is the participant insured.
apparently the insurance is checked only every two weeks what is done if a participant is only entered in BM less than 2 weeks before departure?]]> 2022-04-26 11:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2158336383 Interpreter for deaf volunteers https://padlet.com/toscapool/eyc1dzvef7lt1jp2/wish/2160036138 Would CIGNA cover the use of an interpreter for deaf volunteers at a doctor's visit in any case?  Or only if the status is "full cover"?

Or in other words, does the volunteer need to provide proof (in advance) from their (EHIC) insurance that an interpretation would not be covered in order for CIGNA to step in. Note on this: In Germany, the interpretation of a doctor's visit is a health insurance benefit and in other countries partly also, but partly with lower rates.
