BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Dec. 28, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With just a
few days left for enrollment in Medicare Part D prescription drug plans for
2007, CIGNA HealthCare today recommended that eligible individuals use the
CIGNATURE Rx(SM) online enrollment site to save time and ensure they don't
miss the Dec. 31 enrollment deadline.
CIGNA's website provides the option to complete and submit Part D
prescription drug enrollment online, eliminating the need to complete and
mail paper applications. The Comprehensive Cost Compare Tool on the website
enables a Medicare beneficiary to view potential cost savings based on the
beneficiary's actual prescriptions.

signing up for CIGNATURE Rx coverage. Online enrollment is quick and easy
and provides all the information an individual needs to check costs based
on his or her medications," said Terri Swanson, vice president, CIGNA
Senior Care.
The CIGNATURE Rx website is accessible at http://www.cignaturerx.com.
Individuals may also enroll through the Medicare government website at
http://www.medicare.gov.
Anyone who does not have access to a computer for online enrollment may
call the CIGNATURE Rx enrollment center up until midnight Dec. 31 at
