How We Help You Manage Health Care Costs

Consumer-Driven Health Plans

Many individuals today may not be engaged with their health care purchases and as a result, they may not understand how their plan works or how health care quality and costs can vary between different doctors and facilities.

Cigna Healthcare is out to help change all that. We focus on improving health and spending habits to create an empowered health care consumer. We focus on shifting behaviors, not costs, by employing strategies and tactics designed to create active participants who are encouraged and rewarded for choosing and using quality care.

Large and Local Provider Networks

We offer a large, national network of health care providers as well as focused, more cost-effective networks to help your employees get the care they need at a cost they can afford.

Funding Options

Cigna Healthcare offers a suite of insured and self-funded solutions to meet each client’s risk protection and cash flow needs.

Cost Containment Programs

Our medical cost containment programs are designed to provide more savings to our clients and customers. To help lower costs, we offer several payment and savings programs.

Health costs run deeper than just medical care. Prescriptions. Mental health. Dental care. Care for employees on disability and traveling abroad for business. It can all affect your overall health costs, as well as your workforce productivity and well-being. A 2022 Cigna Healthcare Value of Integration study showed a $148 per member per year medical cost savings when clients have their medical, behavioral, and pharmacy benefits with Cigna Healthcare.³

Our approach to total health is designed to help achieve better health outcomes and savings for your business and help make the health journey easier for your employees—engaging early and providing individualized, ongoing support. This drives better engagement and participation in health improvement plans, resulting in lower total medical costs for our clients.

Benefits of Integrated Services

Connected Pharmacy Benefits

Our integrated pharmacy gives employees a fully connected, personalized approach to change behaviors—in the moments that matter most—to help deliver better total well-being outcomes, and lower pharmacy and total health spending.

Adding a pharmacy benefit to your medical plan can help lower total medical costs and help provide an easier experience for your employees. Being fully connected allows us to leverage data, analytics, and technology on a common clinical platform to proactively work with your employees and health care providers. This helps to ensure drug adherence, receive cost savings alerts, and close gaps in care.

An Emphasis on Mental and Emotional Well-being

Behavioral and mental health issues can greatly impact the lives of your employees. When left unmanaged, these issues can raise costs and lower productivity. Our comprehensive behavioral health programs engage customers at critical points in their lives and continue to support them beyond.

Bundled Medical and Dental Plans

Medical plans and dental plans work together to educate and motivate employees to understand the importance of oral health for better total health and savings.

Additionally, our Dental Oral Health Integration Program reimburses out-of-pocket costs for preventive dental treatments for those with certain medial conditions (such as heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy) that put them at greater risk for oral health issues.

Our Guiding Principles for Health Improvement Programs

Easy, Engaging, and Proactive

Healthy choices are convenient for employees with onsite clinics and fitness centers, biometric screenings, and well-being care and coaching designed to inspire improved engagement in their health. Employees also have access to the power of virtual care, from telehealth appointments to digital seminars and more.

Measurable and Actionable

Reporting provides employers with detailed, actionable intelligence about their health plans, including:

• How well their current benefit programs are motivating healthier behaviors.
• Short- and long-term opportunities to drive engagement and help lower benefit costs.

Customized and Personal

Each employee has a unique background and needs. Most people engage with their health differently at different stages of their life. We design and implement well-being solutions based on the unique needs and cultures of the people in your employee population.

Focused and Goal-oriented

Our engagement solutions link employers and employees with people, programs, and personalized support to help them overcome obstacles and reach their health goals.

Cigna Healthcare medical plans help direct employees to high-quality providers and care.

With health costs increasing,⁴ consumers are demanding more value out of their health care dollars.

At Cigna Healthcare, we work with both traditional and non-traditional care models to improve access, affordability, and convenience for you and your employees.
