If you use Cigna coverage, the myCigna app is one of the fastest ways to access key plan tools, especially your digital ID card. If you’re stuck with login issues, missing ID cards, or verification codes that won’t arrive, you’re not alone.
This post is part of our Benefit Tools and Apps series.
Quick fixes first (most common solutions):
- Not getting a code? Try sending the code by text message instead of email, check spam/junk, and confirm your email/phone is correct in settings.
- ID card not showing? Log out/in, update the app, and confirm you’re viewing the correct member profile.
- Still stuck? Use myCigna’s built-in login help, or call the customer service number on your member materials.
If you need one win today, make it this: get your myCigna digital ID card pulled up before your next appointment.
What is the myCigna app?
myCigna is Cigna’s member app and portal that helps you access your health plan information in one place. Features vary by plan, but many members use it to:
- View and share digital ID cards (front and back)
- Manage and organize plan information
- Access common member tools on the go
Download & sign in
- Download the myCigna app from your phone’s app store.
- Sign in with your myCigna account (or register if you’re new).
- If prompted, complete verification steps (codes by text/email can be part of security).
Note: App features are based on the coverage you have with Cigna.
Find your digital ID card
This is the #1 reason most people open the app—especially before a visit.
Steps
- Open myCigna and sign in.
- Tap ID Cards.
- View your card and use options to print, email, or share it.
Pro tip: Many Cigna members can access digital ID cards via the myCigna app or the myCigna website.
Not getting the verification code doesn’t mean you did anything wrong; switching to text and checking spam fixes it most of the time.
Trouble getting a verification code?
If the app is waiting on a verification code (and nothing arrives), try these quick checks:
- Choose to receive the code by text message if email is delayed.
- Check your spam/junk folder if you selected email.
- Confirm your email and mobile number are correct in your account settings.
- If you previously replied “STOP” to certain short codes, you may need to re-enable messages to receive one-time codes.
Find care & plan tools
Depending on your plan, myCigna may also help you access tools for organizing your care experience and coverage information. If something you expected to see isn’t available, it may simply be a plan-specific feature difference.
When the app looks ‘different,’ it’s often because features vary by plan, not because you’re missing a step.
Common issues & quick fixes

When to call Cigna vs. HomeTown

Call HomeTown when:
- You want help understanding coverage options in plain English
