We recognize that it is important for people to have the information they need to make the right choices about their health. As a health care professional, you can help influence your patients’ health outcomes and encourage them to improve their health. By working together, we can help to attain better outcomes for your maternity patients. Encourage your maternity patients to learn about the maternity benefits and management program offered through their Cigna administered plan:

Cigna Maternity Benefits

These benefits are available to all of your maternity patients who are covered by a Cigna administered medical plan. Benefits include:
