CIGNA Introduces Individual Plans in North Carolina
CIGNA HealthCare has introduced new plans for Individuals in North Carolina with July 15, 2009 effective dates. The plans offer many of the benefits that have traditionally only been available to larger employers such as access to a 24-hour health information line and tools to help people understand their own personal health risks and take action to prevent a serious health event.
Individuals and their families will have access to a network of more than 500,000 quality health professionals and facilities throughout the country. In North Carolina, this includes more than 35,000 doctors and more than 150 hospitals.
In North Carolina, there are three Health Savings plans and four Open Access plans available for individuals and families. The Health Savings Plans are high-deductible health plans used in combination with a tax-advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for certain medical expenses (now or in the future) that may not be covered by the health plan. The new plans include a broad range of benefit levels which enables you, the broker, to find the plan that is right for your customer.
