Business Wire
Cigna (NYSE: CI) and SCAN Health Plan have entered into an
alliance to provide SCAN’s group retiree Medicare Advantage health
plan benefits to employer clients in California.
The new alliance blends Cigna's broad portfolio of integrated
benefit products, consultative approach and single point of contact
for employers with SCAN’s Medicare Advantage products, services and
highly-regarded brand in California. Working together, the
companies will provide new options and streamlined benefit
administration for employers, enhance care coordination with health
care providers and, most importantly, assure a seamless employee
transition from Cigna to SCAN upon retirement and Medicare
eligibility.
“Our companies have a common commitment to clinical quality,
customer service and engaging with health care professionals to
enhance health care delivery. Through this alliance, we can now
offer employer groups in California a full suite of benefit
capabilities for active employees and retirees,” said Chris De
Rosa, president of the West region for Cigna. “Employers and
customers will benefit from the many quality programs, outstanding
member service and expertise serving California seniors that the
SCAN brand embodies.”
”We’re pleased to partner with Cigna to offer SCAN benefits and
expertise to more Medicare beneficiaries in California,” said SCAN
CEO Chris Wing. “Cigna’s dedication to helping people improve their
health, well-being and sense of security aligns with our mission to
keep seniors healthy and independent. We look forward to meeting
the needs of new employer groups and their retirees through this
exclusive alliance.”
The Medicare Advantage product available through the alliance is
SCAN’s existing Employer Group Waiver Plan, with effective dates of
January 1, 2016 and beyond. This plan also provides in-home
services, supplies and support in many areas now, with plans to
expand these important independent living benefits throughout
SCAN’s California service area. The offering is limited to group
retiree products in California; SCAN and Cigna will continue to
offer individual Medicare Advantage plans directly to consumers in
markets where they do so today.
