BLOOMFIELD, CT - March 30, 2006 - CIGNA HealthCare* today announced an agreement with AMA Insurance Agency, Inc. (AMAIAI) to market the CIGNATURE Rx(SM) Medicare prescription drug plans to Medicare-eligible physicians and their spouses.

"We are delighted AMAIAI has chosen to offer CIGNA's Medicare prescription drug plans," said Terri Swanson, vice president of CIGNA Senior Care. "This decision represents a strong new relationship based on a high level of trust in our Part D program."

AMA Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Medical Association, markets and/or administers insurance plans and related products to meet the needs of physicians and their families. AMAIAI chose the simple, affordable CIGNATURE Rx drug coverage because of several leading features:

  • high quality customer service, ensuring all calls are answered by experienced service representatives.
