Global health service company Cigna is expanding its individual
health care exchange offerings to new geographies for 2020, with
health plans now available in 19 markets across 10 states. This
includes expansion into select counties in Kansas, South Florida
and Utah as well as new counties in Tennessee and Virginia.
Cigna's plans on the individual health care exchanges will
include a number of features that provide access to quality health
care and encourage individuals to live a healthy life – all while
holding down out-of-pocket costs. Cigna customers will be able to
access preventive care services* and will have expanded online
access to doctors through Cigna's telehealth service** at no
additional cost to them. Beginning in 2020, eligible customers will
be able to obtain a 30-day supply of preferred brand insulin for no
more than $25 through Cigna’s Patient Assurance Program.
Additionally, to encourage consumers to take charge of their
health, Cigna will provide its customers discounts for services
such as gym memberships and nutrition support – and is also
introducing a loyalty program in several markets. Customers earn
rewards under the loyalty program by completing activities such as
selecting a primary care physician and completing an assessment
designed to help them understand and manage their health risks.
“More people who purchase health care coverage on the exchange
now will have access to Cigna’s broad range of products and
services that makes quality health care more accessible and
affordable,” said Brian Evanko, president of Cigna's government
business. “We’ve learned from our thoughtful approach and
continuous presence on the exchange how to deliver a great product
with a simplified customer experience. We are proud to be able to
deliver our exceptional offering to even more people throughout the
U.S.”
Cigna customers will also receive ‘available anytime’ support
through Cigna's 24/7 customer service and access to health and
wellness resources through Cigna.com and the myCigna® app. Eligible
customers with complex health needs will also be provided
personalized support from a single point of contact through Cigna's
My Personal Champion program.
Customers in Phoenix will have access to the Cigna Medical
Group, which includes more than 140 primary care and specialty
doctors at 20 locations, hearing and vision centers and other
specialty services, as well as onsite pharmacies and urgent care
centers open 365 days a year.
“Caring for the health and well-being of our customers is a
responsibility that we take very seriously,” said Lisa Lough,
general manager of Cigna’s individual and family plans business.
“All of the services and support that we are able to provide our
customers is only possible with the close and collaborative
relationship that we have with our physician partners across the
country. It is in partnering with these physicians, many of whom
are in value-based care arrangements, that we are able to help our
customers enjoy healthier and more productive lives.”
In 2020, Cigna is offering individual and family plans on the
health care exchange for select counties in 10 states: Arizona,
Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.
People interested in enrolling in an individual or family plan
