CIGNA Offers Assistance In Texas To People Impacted By Hurricane Ike
People insured by CIGNA in the impacted counties in the state of Texas can refill prescriptions early without prior approval and access care at any health care professional (in-network or out-of-network) at in-network rates. In addition, CIGNA is waiving authorizations for hospital admissions, emergency medical and dental care as well access to needed specialists without receiving prior approvals. CIGNA will also replace any lost or damaged medications.
"The health and well-being of the individuals we serve is our primary concern," said Susan Gaca, Director, CIGNA Disaster Response Team. "We hope that during times such as this, these actions will provide some relief to those impacted."
This temporary measure is in place until September 19, 2008.
Customers with questions or concerns are encouraged to call the customer service phone number on their CIGNA ID card or the CIGNA nationwide customer service telephone number at 1.800.CIGNA24 (1.800.244.6224) for additional information about the waivers.
