CIGNA Choice Fund – Health Reimbursement Arrangement Now Available to 51-200 Life Groups in Maryland

We are pleased to announce that the CIGNA Choice Fund^® Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is now available to businesses with 51-200 employees in Maryland.  The CIGNA Choice Fund HRA fully integrates an employer-funded health reimbursement arrangement with an Open Access Plus medical product.

“Smaller business employers have told us they want the same savings, integration and consumer-focused approaches of consumer driven health care that are available to larger businesses,” said Dennis Wilson, president of the CIGNA HealthCare Small Business Segment. With this expansion, customers in Maryland now have access to the full suite of CIGNA Choice Fund HRA and HSA products.

Wilson said that consumer driven health plans, such as the CIGNA Choice Fund HRA and HSA, can help employers manage costs by encouraging employees to be more engaged in their health care decisions. To help introduce these new plans to employees, CIGNA HealthCare offers award-winning communication and enrollment assistance to help employees learn about their benefit choices and get the most out of their health plan. If you have any questions regarding CIGNA Choice Fund, please do not hesitate to contact your local CIGNA sales manager.
