COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 6, 2006 /PRNewswire/ -- CIGNA HealthCare
announced today that it has introduced a new network option called "CIGNA
Select" for employers in Colorado Springs. CIGNA Select is designed for
employers with 50 or more employees and features a defined hospital network
in exchange for lower costs for employers.
"We know that some companies in the Colorado Springs area may want to
offer employees a narrower network plan to help control costs," says Daryl
Edmonds, president and general manager of CIGNA HealthCare of Colorado. "We
anticipate that CIGNA Select could save employers approximately 15 percent
on their health care costs, while at the same time giving their employees
important wellness and disease management programs to help them stay
healthy over the long term."
The CIGNA Select network option includes the Penrose Hospital, Penrose
Community Hospital, and St. Francis Health Center, part of Centura Health
System and approximately 900 primary care physicians and specialists. The
product is available through the CIGNA HealthCare HMO and Point of Service
(POS) products for plans effective December 1, 2006.
CIGNA HealthCare is one of the oldest and largest managed care and
employee benefits proffering a wide range of innovative solutions to help
manage health care costs and outcomes, including its CIGNATURE suite of

products. With more than 278,000 members, CIGNA HealthCare of Colorado's
HMO plan has received an "Excellent" Accreditation from the National

HealthCare" refers to various operating subsidiaries of CIGNA Corporation.

by CIGNA Corporation. These operating subsidiaries include Connecticut
