What are the hours and when should I call?
CIGNA operates the call center for this 800-997-1654 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 325 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Automatically call when they open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the CIGNA call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this CIGNA phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like CIGNA staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call CIGNA is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 488% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 325 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.
The best time to call CIGNA
In summation, the best day to call CIGNA is Friday.
Calling this CIGNA Customer Number
Calling this number featured an effective automated system, but not a very responsive customer service team. When I called this number, I was initially welcomed to Cigna and asked if I was calling as a customer of Cigna, a provider or looking for information.
I hit the button for information, and I was asked if I was calling about medical, dental or some other kind of care. I hit the button for dental care, and the system asked me to provide my zip code so that it could best assist me. I offered my zip code, and the system asked me to confirm that I had entered the zip code correctly.
I did so, and the system said that it would transfer me to someone. After a few minutes, I was directed to a representative, who asked me to provide my first and last name. I said that I was calling to find out the cost of a Cigna plan, and was promptly interrupted and asked again to provide my first and last name.
I explained to her that I did not want to provide my information yet and reiterated that I was calling to get information on a plan from Cigna and its cost. The next sound I heard was a disconnection tone from my phone. There was no effort to explain that she could not provide service without me identifying myself, no information provided, no direction to their website or anything of the kind. All I got was a dial tone.
I thought the automated system did a great job of navigating me through things quickly, but I was really disappointed in the unprofessional manner of getting hung up on to end the call. I understand if protocols require identification, but interrupting someone and hanging up with no explanation simply isn't acceptable. Based on this, I would not use this number for service.

There are of course other ways to contact CIGNA customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
CIGNA Customer Email Addresses
SCR_isolve@cigna.com - Customer Service
Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and CIGNA will reply our your email.
CIGNA Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)
twitter.com/cignaquestions - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
CIGNA, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
CIGNA Customer Help Desk / Web Support
cigna.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- CIGNA customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
