Cigna Global Health Benefits Launches Crisis Assistance Plus - A Solution for Globally Mobile Customers in an Unpredictable World
Cigna Corporation (NYSE: CI), through its globally mobile business
segment, Cigna Global Health Benefits®, today
announces the launch of their newest solution, Crisis Assistance PlusTM
(CAP), an enhancement to their suite of global health care products.
This solution allows for a worldwide, comprehensive crisis assistance
program, powered by FocusPoint International®, and responds
to the unique needs of Cigna's globally mobile customers who currently
do not have a program in place today under our 2-20 expat products and
our MBA product for international business travellers. It helps promote
peace of mind by providing services that include time-sensitive advice
and coordinated in-country crisis assistance, as well as political
evacuation services for nine different risks that impact, or have the
potential to impact, them while on assignment or traveling on
international business. In the event of a covered event, the CAP program
provides customers and their covered dependents immediate access to
rapid response teams and dedicated CAP managers who are deployed
globally within 24 hours, experienced security personnel for field
rescue, shelter in place and ground evacuations, and highly experienced
kidnap-for-ransom and exortion-response specialists.
From natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes, to
acts of terrorism, blackmail or extortion, hijacking and other violent
crimes, CAP provides coverage for services of up to $250,000 per covered
person, per incident. This unique and comprehensive service is included
as a value added benefit and reinforces Cigna's commitment to its
customers and reputation in the marketplace as a leader in global health
benefits.
Heather Schleeweis, Product Manager for North America, commented, "CAP
is not only a market differentiator for Cigna, it also directly supports
our mission of helping individuals improve their health, well-being and
sense of security. Now more than ever, security threats are a concern
for today's global travellers. CAP enables us to provide our customers
with comprehensive global health benefits that include peace of mind."
