Cigna Guided Solutions Now Offers Midsize and Smaller Employers More Options and Flexibility

BLOOMFIELD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global health service company Cigna (NYSE: CI) is introducing additional
and more flexible health plan choices for mid- and smaller-sized
employers through its enhanced Cigna Guided Solutions^®
benefit technology platform, initially launched in 2014.

In addition to Cigna’s broad array of pre-configured medical, dental,
vision and group life, disability and accident insurance, and other
benefit plans, Cigna’s state of the art benefit technology solution now
offers employers the option to include other types of medical plans and
network options, as well as group life, disability and accident
insurance that mirror the employer’s current benefits plans.

“Over the past several years, the market has evolved and its needs have
become clearer,” said Patty Fontneau, President, Benefit Exchange and
Technology Solutions Business at Cigna. “Employers are looking for more
than simply transitioning to an exchange. Many are really seeking a
benefit technology solution that offers easier administration and cost
stability for their business, and more choice for their employees.”

“Cigna Guided Solutions combines these features with the choice of
pre-defined plan designs or customized options that are comparable to
the plans employers currently offer, and can be provided utilizing any
of Cigna’s funding alternatives,” Ms. Fontneau said. “This flexibility
can provide a needed measure for continuity when transitioning to a new
customer-centric benefits platform and serve as a foundation to a more
expansive offering.”

She added that the enhanced platform now offers employers greater
integration of Cigna technology with key benefit administration
services, as well as its standard portfolio of employee-friendly
features such as: personalized enrollment decision support, online and
mobile benefits management, and 24/7/365 live customer service for
medical and dental plans to help clients get their employees actively
engaged in their health and health care spending.

Integration features include:

• Year-round eligibility management and automated data exchange for all
  plans.
• Enrollment support including online provider directory, a
  click-to-chat feature, access to dedicated phone representatives to
  help co-browse or to enroll individuals.
• Single sign-on to myCigna.com for easy access to health care
  information.
• Consumer-driven health plan banking applications so employees can
  initiate their account set- up as part of their benefit enrollment
  process.

Cigna’s Benefit Exchange and Technology Solutions business currently
services more than 1 million customers through its proprietary exchange
and benefits administration solutions, and its relationship with over 40
active and retiree third-party private exchanges.
