Cigna shares our Life Connected approach through a new podcast series.

Cigna’s Life Connected^SM approach, which addresses five key areas of an employees' well-being – physical, emotional, environmental, financial and social – is now featured in our latest podcast series. To listen and share with our mutual clients, click here.

Overview of the five dimensions.

Here are the areas of a person’s well-being that will be discussed in the podcast series.

Physical well-being: A healthy body maintained through healthy choices that reduce the risk of preventable diseases and conditions.

Physical well-being can help increase energy and improve an individual’s ability to accomplish daily tasks.

Emotional well-being: Confidence and resilience in coping with life's stresses and challenges.

Emotional well-being helps an individual manage feelings and behaviors, work productively, and make meaningful contributions to their community

Environmental well-being: An understanding of how a person’s environment affects their health – and, conversely, how their habits and lifestyle affect the environment.

Environmental well-being involves awareness of the relationship between an individual’s health and their home, work, and community.

Financial well-being: An understanding of a person’s financial situation, including feeling prepared and being able to define a path toward future financial goals.

Financial well-being helps provide a sense of security and relief from financial stress.

Social well-being: Creating and maintaining positive relationships and having a sense of connectedness and belonging.

Social well-being can include connecting with others at work, at home, and in the local community.

Learn how a person’s body and mind can impact their overall health.

The Cigna Life Connected podcast series explores how each different dimension of an employee’s life can impact their overall health.

Another lens to health care: supplemental health.

Leveraging new solutions to solve for today’s healthcare problem.

If the COVID-19 pandemic and its physical, social, and economic repercussions of 2020 have taught us anything, it’s that everything can change at any moment – even by something as tiny as a virus. Financial predictability for employers and our working population has virtually disappeared, while uncertainty about the pandemic’s duration continues to impact our day-to-day operations and personal schedules.

No level of predictive modeling could have projected the degree of change that we’ve all experienced. These changes are causing employers to ask some hard questions, including how to best move forward with supporting their employees through payroll and benefits. Living in such a paradoxical time has us asking the question, “How do we lower our overall cost of healthcare, while simultaneously taking precautions to protect ourselves during a pandemic?”

Wayne Dyer once said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This statement holds true for today’s health care challenges on individual and group levels. In today’s forever-changed business environment, organizations and their employees have multiple and evolving benefits needs.

Just as this global pandemic could not be predicted, neither can a personal health crisis. While employers search for ways to lower their health care costs without having employees absorb more of the expense, employees are looking for financial protection. The lens that we look through to find solutions to this problem has inevitably changed, as well.

Supplemental health solutions can help bring peace of mind during times of uncertainty.

Cigna has seen firsthand the value that Supplemental Health Solutions – including Accidental Injury, Critical Illness, and Hospital Care – can bring to employees and their families in times of crisis and need, while simultaneously driving down health care costs for employers. These products are designed specifically to provide employees with comprehensive health care coverage and additional financial protection to help ease out-of-pocket health care costs.

With Cigna’s introduction of new and innovative products, we now have the ability to cover the more prevalent conditions that may impact today’s dynamic workforce. These products are closely aligned with our Cigna medical plans.

Integrating Cigna medical and Cigna supplemental health benefits provides employees with access to the Cigna Simple File^® – auto compare program, at no additional cost. Through this program, we carefully review Cigna medical claims and automatically remind employees to submit their eligible hospital and accident claims. Our integrated approach leverages our insights and holistic view of health to help bring our customers a better experience. Employees now have the flexibility to call-in for claims submissions, or file online at www.SuppHealthClaims.com. They call or log in, we file, we pay. That’s Cigna. Together, all the way.

The health care of our customers is our #1 priority, and we believe that a whole person approach to mind and body wellness includes financial protection and peace of mind. For more information about our products, you can click here, or contact your Regional Sales Director of Supplemental Health.

Cigna launches virtual dental care to support customers during COVID-19 pandemic.

The dentist will see you now.

Toothaches, chipped teeth and oral infections don’t care what time of day it is. But neither do the Cigna Dental Virtual Care dentists. If an individual needs dental care and they’re unable to reach their regular provider, Cigna dental plan members have the option to consult with a dentist through a video call. The best part? Cigna Dental Virtual Care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at no additional cost to Cigna Dental customers, through July 31, 2020.¹

We recommend that members contact their dentist first to see if they can provide virtual care, but we recognize that this may not always be possible. That’s why we’ve partnered with The TeleDentists, a virtual dental care company that’s been serving customers since 2018. The TeleDentists connects customers with a licensed dentist who, through a video call, can help address urgent dental situations like toothaches, infection, swelling, bleeding, and more. They can also prescribe medications² to be filled at your local pharmacy, if necessary.³ Of course, this type of care delivery precludes dentists from performing more involved procedures. However, if a dentist determines such care is needed, they can help guide patients through the next steps.

Cigna plan members can access virtual dental care⁴by simply logging on to their myCigna.com account and follow the prompts to the virtual care portal.

Availability of Cigna Dental Virtual Care services may vary by location and plan type and is subject to change.
Prescription medications are not covered on Cigna Dental plans. For information on out-of-pocket costs for prescribed drugs, please refer to your medical or pharmacy plan documents.
Dentists are unable to prescribe opioid or narcotic medications, and are subject to all laws in your residence state regarding the prescribing of medication.

Virtual consultations with Cigna network dentists are subject to applicable frequency limits and annual plan maximums.

All group dental insurance policies and dental benefit plans contain exclusions and limitations. For costs and details of coverage, see your plan documents. The TeleDentists is an independent company and is not affiliated with Cigna. Providers are solely responsible for any treatment provided. Video chat may not be available in all areas. Services are separate from the Cigna dental plan provider networks.
