November 23 2015 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Cigna (NYSE:CI), a leading provider of employer-sponsored group
health plans in the state and across the U.S., has begun offering a
Medicare Advantage health plan in Kansas City for the 2016 Medicare
open enrollment period. The new offering represents an expansion of
Cigna's product and clinical collaboration capabilities already in
Missouri.
Customers who enroll in Cigna’s Medicare Advantage plan, which
has a $0 premium, will have access to care provided by the region’s
leading health care organizations. The network includes St. Luke’s
Health System, North Kansas City Hospital/Meritas, Shawnee Mission
Medical Center, Providence Medical Center, Saint John Hospital, St.
Mary’s Medical Center and St. Joseph Medical Center and reaches
more than 1,200 primary care doctors and specialists affiliated
with these hospitals.
“Our Medicare Advantage plans bring even more value and access
to quality care within reach for Medicare-eligible Americans in
Kansas City,” said Sheffield Young, general manager for Cigna's
Medicare programs. “By working together with doctors and other
health care professionals, we can help our customers receive
personalized care at an affordable cost.”
“Our products, services and network are built around
understanding our customers. Expanding our presence in Kansas City
means that we will now have the opportunity to help our customers
gain access to greater quality care at every stage of life,” said
Frank Monahan, Cigna president for MidAmerica.
Cigna’s physician engagement model centers on a collaborative
relationship with health care professionals to tailor products and
services specific to the needs of the Medicare population. For
Cigna customers, this means that doctors spend more time
understanding their health to identify possible health risks. By
focusing on preventive care, doctors can diagnose health conditions
early, which creates the opportunity for individuals to make
healthy changes.
Cigna’s 2016 Medicare options include a wide range of health and
prescription drug plans, as well as supplemental plans. All plans
offer extra benefits not covered under Original Medicare and are
designed to help customers better manage their health while
limiting out-of-pocket medical expenses. For 2016, Cigna will also
offer its expanded fitness benefit with the Silver&Fit
program.
Medicare beneficiaries can enroll in Cigna’s 2016 Medicare
Advantage plan during the annual election period, which runs from
October 15, 2015 to December 7, 2015. To learn about complete plan
