Cigna's integration of disability
management with Cigna's CoachRx
pharmacy program earned the highest honor in the category of
Workers' Compensation/Disability Management at the Fifth Annual Case
in Point Platinum Awards, created by publisher Dorland Health.
The awards recognize the most successful and innovative case management
programs and people that help improve health care across the care
continuum.
“Integrating clinical disciplines into disability programs and finding
ways for customers to set health goals are just a couple ways we’ve
proven to make a difference in the lives of the individuals who rely on
us,” said Mark Marsters, senior vice president of operations for
Cigna’s disability insurance business. “Cigna's recognition from
Case in Point underscores the focus Cigna places on the health and
productivity of our customers.”
The award-winning integrated disability and pharmacy program helps
employees on disability who may have pharmacy related issues that
complicate or delay their recovery and return to work. In an effort to
improve medication adherence, CoachRx provides personalized support to
help customers take their medications safely and regularly, including
providing access to a team of licensed pharmacist medication coaches.
Also recognized was the Achilles
Cigna Customer Referral Program, which received an honorable mention
in the Wellness/Prevention category. The referral program helps Cigna
customers who are on long term disability leave get back to their
one-of-a-kind lives by providing access to training resources and the
ability to participate in mainstream athletic events as a member of
Achilles International.
Cigna's Behavioral Health Innovation program also received an honorable
mention in the category of Case Management in Managed Care. Cigna Group
Insurance Behavioral Health Specialists focus on new ways to provide
assistance to long-term disability customers with a behavioral health
diagnosis. The result was a quicker claims resolution and faster
recovery.
Award entries were judged by a panel of experts from the clinical and
business sectors of health care. Also serving as judges were the staff
of Case in Point magazine and Case in Point Weekly.
Entries were evaluated based on the proven track record and program
success.
