Committed to Improving Health and Well-Being

CIGNA offers a progressive solution to help control health insurance costs. It’s based on a simple, yet powerful focus: by improving health, CIGNA can improve the quality, affordability, and sustainability of health insurance benefits.

CIGNA offers a variety of customized medical, dental, prescription drug, and behavioral health plans specially designed to meet the unique needs of government employers. Its plans help managers reduce risk and better manage costs, through a range of cost-effective, easy-to-use options. And, the company continues to work with such organizations as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, HopeLab, University of Michigan Health Management Research Center, and many others to foster new and innovative ways to address the health care needs of a community.

ICMA-CIGNA Joined Resources

In 2006, CIGNA and ICMA worked together to develop a set of health care tools and resources for local governments by surveying more than 2,200 local government administrators. This initiative was launched with the ICMA Health Care Advisory Group and CIGNA to help government managers assess and address what has become one of the biggest costs in their government budgets. CIGNA’s goal is to facilitate the transition from a health care system built primarily around treating disease, to one that focuses on improving and maintaining health.

Healthier Community

For CIGNA, social responsibility begins with how the company conducts business, and it extends to how it engages communities. Whether it’s as a national leader for the Healthy Kids Challenge, the March of Dimes,® or the United Way, or providing volunteers for a local soup kitchen, school, or hospital outreach program, CIGNA is making a difference in the communities in which its customers and employees live. With a comprehensive suite of health solutions designed to meet the needs of local government employees, their families and retirees, CIGNA offers decades of experience and national expertise, delivered locally for a healthier community.
