Cigna Medicare is now HealthSpring, a change you may have already noticed if you’ve recently checked your mailbox or visited your doctor’s office. While the logo on your insurance materials looks different as January 1, 2026, the most important thing to know is that coverage has not changed for existing members. Here is everything you need to know about navigating your benefits under the new HealthSpring name. Existing Cigna/HealthSpring members “click here” for contact info

Cigna Medicare Is Now HealthSpring: Key Updates for Your 2026 Plan

With your 2026 Medicare coverage active, Cigna Medicare is now HealthSpring. This means that you’ll start seeing the HealthSpring name and logo on your 2026 Medicare plan materials, website, and ID cards. Behind the scenes, HealthSpring is the new national health care brand created by Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC) after it acquired Cigna’s Medicare and CareAllies business units in March 2025.

The most important thing for existing Cigna members to know is this: your coverage is not disappearing just because the name changed. Your Medicare Advantage, Part D drug plan, or Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan is still in place, and you can keep using it as usual.

This rebrand doesn’t change your eligibility for Medicare, but it does bring updates to how your plan is presented and managed. Knowing what’s new—and what remains unchanged—helps you stay confident about your benefits this year. If you’re also wondering what has changed across Medicare in general this year, our article “10 Big Medicare Changes for 2026” breaks down the key updates to costs and benefits that apply regardless of the company name on your card.

New HealthSpring ID Cards: Why Your Insurance Card Looks Different

If you’ve just opened your mail and found a card that says HealthSpring instead of Cigna, it’s normal to be unsure whether you need to do something. Some details on the card—like logos, branding, and mailing addresses—may look different, and plan names may now include “HealthSpring” instead of “Cigna Healthcare.” The price or coverage behind the card, however, has not changed.

Here is what you need to do with your new card right now:

  • Start using it immediately: Your old Cigna Healthcare card should no longer be used once you receive your new card.
  • Show your provider: The next time you visit your doctor’s office or the pharmacy, make sure to present your new HealthSpring ID card so they can update your records with the correct billing information.
  • Keep it handy: Whether you are on a Medicare Advantage (Part C), Prescription Drug (Part D), or Medigap plan, this new card is your primary key to accessing your benefits this year.

Coverage and Benefits Updates: What Stays the Same Under HealthSpring?

With any big name change, the first worry is, “Are they cutting my benefits?” The carrier has been clear that the move from Cigna Medicare to HealthSpring is primarily a branding and ownership change, not a reduction in your 2026 benefits. Your plan still follows the coverage outlined in your 2026 materials (like the Evidence of Coverage and Annual Notice of Change), and the rebrand alone does not cancel or reduce your benefits.

That said, every Medicare plan—no matter the carrier—can have normal year-to-year changes in premiums, copays, deductibles, and drug formularies. Those updates are part of the regular Medicare cycle, not something unique to the HealthSpring name. If you stayed with your plan for 2026, it’s because you reviewed (or accepted) those changes during the last Annual Enrollment Period. The rebranding doesn’t add new restrictions on top of what you already saw in your 2026 plan documents.

For Medigap specifically, remember that benefits are standardized by law. A Plan G is a Plan G, no matter which company name appears on your card. Moving from Cigna Healthcare to HealthSpring branding does not change your Medigap coverage. It only changes the company name printed on your materials and ID card. Pricing and administrative details can change over time as part of the normal Medicare cycle. The rebrand itself does not rewrite the basic Medigap benefits you originally chose.

👉 If your Medigap premiums or copays have gone up more than you expected for 2026, this might be a good time to compare your HealthSpring Medigap plan with other insurance carriers. You can start by running an Instant Medigap Quote to see if there’s a lower-priced Plan G or Plan N with the same standardized benefits.

How to Access Your HealthSpring Member Portal

Because the rebrand is happening in stages, you may still see Cigna Healthcare on some websites.
On others, you’ll start to see the new HealthSpring name and logo instead.

To manage your coverage online, you can sign in to your HealthSpring member account. Just go to the HealthSpring member login page and log in with the same username and password you used before (or create a new account if it’s your first time). Inside the portal, you’ll find the same tools—claims, benefits, provider search—just presented with updated colors.

FAQ: Cigna Medicare is now HealthSpring

Q: Do I need to recontract, recertify, or sign a new application because of the name change?
A: As a member, you don’t need to re-enroll just because of the new name. You only complete a new application when you actively choose a different plan.

Q: Will my monthly premium change because of the rebranding?
A: Your Part D drug or Medicare Advantage 2026 premium was locked in when you selected your plan and will not change. The Cigna to HealthSpring brand change does not affect your coverage cost for this plan year. Medigap members may incur scheduled increases due to inflation (rate actions) or as you get older.

Q: Do I need to find a new doctor now that Cigna Medicare is HealthSpring?
A: No. Your Medicare Advantage provider network remains the same for 2026. As long as your doctor was in-network for the plan you selected during the enrollment period, they are still in-network under the HealthSpring name. Remember Medigap plans have no network so all doctors who accept Medicare MUST accept HealthSpring.

Q: Does the new HealthSpring name change allow me to switch Medigap plans without health review?
A: No. This is a name and branding change, not a change to your existing coverage. This does not trigger a special enrollment period for switching. Check out our “Medicare Insurance Switching: Ultimate Guide” for all your options

Q: What should I do with my old Cigna ID card?
A: Once you have confirmed that your new HealthSpring card is working (at the doctor or pharmacy), you can securely destroy your old Cigna card.
