CIGNA CompassSM Helps Expatriates Navigate Through Health Care Around the World
CLAYMONT, Del. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CIGNA (NYSE:CI) International today released CIGNA CompassSM,
an interactive web-based tool that gives expatriates and their families
ready access to their benefit information and provides helpful guidance
to keep themselves healthy. Combining on-screen text and audio/video
features, Compass easily guides expatriates through their health care
information. With Compass, finding a doctor anywhere in the world or
seeking a second opinion for a medical condition is as easy for
expatriates as turning on their computer.
Through Compass, everything expatriates need to know about their health
care coverage or the status of their health claims instantly pops up on
a computer screen and is accompanied by a friendly voiceover. Pod casts
and other digital technology complete the Compass experience, providing
expatriates with the ease and comfort of knowing all their important
health care information is just a click away.
"CIGNA Compass sets a new industry standard for international service
and communications. Without CIGNA Compass, getting international
employers necessary information in a timely manner, so they can provide
needed information to their expatriate employees, can be challenging due
to the nature of international regulations and customs," said Ken
Vaughan, senior vice president for CIGNA International Expatriate
Benefits. "CIGNA Compass provides key information in a user-friendly
online format. No other international benefits carrier offers a
comparable advantage."
Compass supplements the CIGNA standard expatriate benefits kit and is
exclusively available for expatriates through the CIGNA Envoy secure
web portal, where it is readily accessible anytime day or night.
