Flagship Website Adds New Health and Financial Content
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today CIGNA (NYSE:
CI) has launched a complete redesign of its flagship public Website,
http://www.CIGNA.com. The revamped site is designed to be easier for users to
navigate and offers users extensive health information and online resources
in a newly added Health & Money section.
"This redesign represents more than a decade's experience of how users
interact with our Website, extensive "voice of the consumer" research, and
16 months of development work, to deliver a site designed so that people
can quickly and easily obtain the information they want and need," said
Jeffrey Wyne, vice president of marketing, CIGNA HealthCare.
CIGNA.com offers new content encompassing the company's HealthCare,
Group and International businesses. A key enhancement is the creation of a
Health & Money section that provides health information and decision
support tools to help users and their families stay healthy, cope with
sudden illness or a chronic condition and effectively engage in their
health care throughout their various stages of life. Features of
CIGNA.com's new Health & Money section include:
-- In-depth articles about managing chronic conditions, staying healthy,
and handling unexpected health events;
-- Information for health care financial planning;
-- Interactive tools to help estimate health risk factors, identify action
steps to improve health, and calculate health savings account and
flexible spending account contributions.
The re-launch of CIGNA.com is the first of several online enhancements
CIGNA HealthCare consumers and providers may look forward to in 2007. The
CIGNA member personal Web portal http://www.myCIGNA.com will be redesigned and
enhanced for launch during the first quarter of 2007. The redesigned CIGNA
for Health Care Professionals portal, http://www.CIGNAforHCP.com, is also
scheduled to launch later in 2007.
