State and Local Government

We believe that governments perform better when their people are powered by good health. That’s why we help you create a culture of health with your local or state government employees.

With Cigna’s custom products and services, employees can get excited about benefits that are designed with their unique needs in mind. By motivating employees, we can help state and local governments improve employee health and lower total medical costs.

When you are faced with budget pressures, rising health care costs and poor health, we know it’s not easy to manage medical insurance for your government. Cigna is dedicated to making every experience with us helpful, easy and useful. Our municipal and state health care account support teams specialize in state and local government health benefits. They will help you choose a plan that’s fit for your unique needs, implement it and then support employee health and wellness. We can help your government achieve its full potential and get an edge on rising health care costs.

Easy-to-use health benefits

Governments are relied on to make things happen, so we help you ensure every employee can perform at their full potential. We believe people can be more productive when they are healthy. Our path to wellness for governments includes:

 

  • Quality network of doctors and providers. It’s easy for Cigna customers to choose a health care professional with the Cigna Care Network Designation.
  • Award-winning shop and compare tools on myCigna.com. We help people find what they need to be healthy and save money—on the go or at home through our customer website. myCigna.com helps take the guesswork out health benefits and spending. Employees can find a doctor, review procedure costs in advance, access account information, check claims and balances and more.
  • 24/7 live customer service. Around-the-clock customer care service means being there whenever you need us. Cigna was the first national carrier to offer live 24/7-customer service.
  • Better health care systems. We’re making health care better and more efficient with more than 50 collaborative accountable care programs.
  • One account team. A team including a client manager, client engagement manager, implementation manager, client service executive and health promotion manager dedicated to guiding your wellness strategy—all specializing in government needs.
  • Clear communications. Our communications are easy-to-understand—and we've won awards for our clear explanation of benefits.
  • Onsite health. Cigna also provides access to onsite health and wellness for state and local governments. Simple, no cost screenings help to make your employees aware of their health risks through biometric screenings, flu clinics and wellness coaching where you work.

Options to save big

Cigna offers consumer-driven health insurance plans—Cigna Choice Fund® HSA/HRA plans and a flexible spending account option. Clients who choose our consumer-directed health plans have medical costs that are 13% lower during the first year than traditional plans1. Costs were 20% lower for HSA customers, and 11% lower for HRA participants.


These plans can offer big savings to clients without shifting costs to customers. With HSA plans, employees contribute 75% more to their accounts than they spend.

Combine plans and save even more

Our plans improve health while reducing expenses—3% on annual medical costs2. We'll help you experience a lower medical cost trend, year after year. Bundle medical plans with pharmacy, disability, behavioral, senior/retirees, dental or vision and save more. Combining benefits can help increase your plan's health metrics and savings.
