CIGNA Healthcare

CIGNA healthcare in the UK is based in Greenock, Scotland and has operated in the UK since 1983 having acquired several insurance companies in the process. Their Scottish centre is their European shared service centre also providing support to their non-UK operations in Europe.

They are part of the very large US based (Philadelphia) global organisation CIGNA International; that provides a wide range of health, life, accident and dental insurance.

Formed originally out of a merger between two original US organisations (Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and the Insurance Company of North America), they can trace their USA roots back to the late 18th century.

CIGNA International operates in over 29 countries. They employ approximately 4000 experienced staff worldwide (figures correct at time of writing).

CIGNA healthcare offers a wide range of personal private medical insurance (PMI) policies and options. These can cover you individually, as a couple, your children alone, or as a group.

Private health insurance typically allows you to choose the type of treatment you receive, where you receive it and when. Although in the UK the NHS typically provides emergency and long-term critical illness cover, having a private health insurance policy from CIGNA means that you can have access to private treatment and expert consultations without joining extensive waiting lists.

CIGNA products are constructed to make available a private health care option to suit most pockets.

They also offer dental care insurance that provides a range of benefits to help keep your teeth in the best of health and to act quickly should something go wrong.

All private medical insurance inevitably comes with conditions. To protect your interests and those of your family, it is usually advisable to read these carefully to ensure that you understand fully what they mean and that they meet your requirements.

CIGNA Healthcare may be able to offer you a plan that meets your needs and those of your loved ones. A few minutes invested in reading through the detail of their policies could give you a range of suitable options and their telephone support service will gladly answer any questions that you may have.
