Cigna to Enhance Mobile App

Cigna has introduced a texting and smartphone quoting process along with other mobile enhancements for agents selling insurance products insured by American Retirement and Loyal American Life Insurance Companies.

In a release, the Company noted that Cigna's new #ExpressTXT allows agents to send a simple text message with a customer's zip code, age and gender and immediately receive premium rates for available Medigap insurance plans as well as a quote for Final Expense Whole Life insurance.

"Today's agents are out where their customers are, and we know that many times they find themselves without access to the internet or paper rate sheets. We're excited to introduce Cigna's #ExpressTXT, #ExpressQuote and iPad mobile applications because they provide agents with great flexibility for addressing their customers' needs anytime and anywhere. Getting immediate quotes through the texts, submitting business and resolving potential problems more quickly because of the alerts give agents more time to focus on building their businesses," said Brad Wolfram, Divisional President, Cigna Supplemental Benefits.

Cigna Corp. is a health service company.

Medicare Supplement insurance is underwritten by American Retirement Life Insurance Company or Loyal American Life Insurance Company.
