Cigna (NYSE: CI) announced today its comprehensive 2014 Medicare
offerings, including a wide range of health and prescription drug plans,
as well as supplemental and special needs plans. All plans offer extra
benefits not covered under Original Medicare and are designed to help
customers better manage their health and limit out-of-pocket medical
expenses.
“We know that health care is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why our 2014
health care plans offer products that deliver more consumer choices to
support healthy aging while meeting customers’ individual health care
and budget needs,” said Herb Fritch, president of Cigna-HealthSpring,
Cigna’s seniors business unit. “Our coordinated team approach to care
focuses on prevention to proactively meet each person’s health care
needs and deliver on the triple aim of improved health, affordability
and patient experience.”
Medicare is a critical source of health care for millions of Americans
and Cigna’s Medicare products offer customers affordable choices
customized to meet their needs. Last year, Cigna made strategic
acquisitions to expand its presence in the rapidly growing seniors
market with industry leaders Great American Supplemental Benefits (now
Cigna Supplemental Benefits) and HealthSpring (now Cigna-HealthSpring),
making it the sixth largest company in the Medicare Advantage and
Prescription Drug Plan markets. The 2014 enrollment season marks the
first year the Cigna brand has gone to market with such comprehensive
consumer choices.
Medicare beneficiaries can enroll in Cigna 2014 Medicare plans during
the annual enrollment period, which begins October 15, 2013 and ends
December 7, 2013. For most Medicare beneficiaries, this is the one time
of year they can make changes to their Medicare coverage. Cigna’s plan
details, full service area and free education materials are available at www.cignamedicare.com.
