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.

How Is Silver&Fit Similar to SilverSneakers?
