NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 21, 2006 /PRNewswire/ -- CIGNA Government
Services, L.L.C. of Nashville, Tenn., has been named a 2006 Achievement
Award winner in the annual Excellence in Tennessee recognition program
administered by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence (TNCPE).
The award will be presented at the 14th annual Excellence in Tennessee
Awards Banquet on Feb. 22, 2007, at the Sheraton Music City in Nashville.
CIGNA Government Services, L.L.C. has provided services to Medicare
since 1991. This work involves performing a wide array of administrative
services, including claims processing under Part B of the Medicare program.
"The Tennessee Excellence Awards offer something most organizations
desire, but few attain: confirmation of being the best," said Tennessee
Gov. Phil Bredesen. "Winners of these awards have demonstrated a level of
organizational aptitude that is only seen in the most dynamic, forward-
thinking, competitive organizations in the world."
Through an annual evaluation and assessment process, TNCPE recognizes
organizations that have achieved the highest standards of excellence in
their operations and results. The program uses the Criteria for Performance
Excellence established by the Baldrige National Quality Program as the
evaluation tool.
Recipients of Achievement Awards have demonstrated significant progress
in building sound processes using performance improvement principles. These
organizations have many practices from which other organizations can learn
and grow.
"We're not just honoring businesses, schools, hospitals and non-profits
that are good at what they do now," said TNCPE president Katie Rawls.
"These winners have taken on the challenge of attaining a high level of
excellence for the long term. They realize that this is a continuing
process and that tools like the Baldrige criteria are available to help
them on their journey. It's this ongoing commitment to excellence that I
find truly inspirational."
"This award demonstrates our commitment to becoming the partner of
choice for our customers and providers," said Jean Rush, president of CIGNA
Government Services. "I am proud of our organization, and the people who
have worked hard to position us as an industry leader with a focus on
excellence in all that we do."
