Cigna Expands Financial Wellness Services

Business Wire

Global health service company Cigna is expanding the My Secure Advantage (MSA) financial wellness program to group insurance customers effective Jan. 1.

The MSA program includes “money coaching,” identity theft protection and resolution services, and tools and resources for preparing wills and other important legal documents. Through the MSA program expansion, Cigna aims to help millions more individuals live more financially secure lives and improve their overall well-being.

“Most Americans admit to experiencing financial stress during the course of a year, so it’s not surprising that it can take a toll on a person’s health and well-being,” said Bill Smith, president of Cigna Group Insurance. “My Secure Advantage provides the tools, resources and advice to meet the needs of individuals wherever they are in their personal financial journey and life stage, such as buying a home, having a baby, paying for college, getting ready for retirement or experiencing a loss of income due to an illness or injury. The goal is to help individuals take control of key aspects of their finances and help them improve their sense of security.”

The MSA program will now be standard for most Cigna Group Insurance customers, including those with life, accident, disability, accidental injury, critical illness and hospital care insurance policies. At no additional cost, group customers and their household members can take advantage of all MSA program services including:

Thirty days of money coaching from an experienced financial professional with the option to continue the relationship on a self-pay basis.
Online tools and educational webinars to assist with financial planning.
Resources and templates to create and execute state-specific wills, powers of attorney and a variety of other important legal documents.
A 30-minute complimentary legal consultation with a licensed practicing attorney, and discounted attorney fees if additional time is desired.
Discounts on tax planning and preparation services.
Identity theft services including consultation with a fraud resolution professional.

The MSA program is made available through Cigna's relationship with CLC, Inc., a provider of legal and financial programs for more than 30 years with a national network of more than 20,000 credentialed attorneys, mediators and financial professionals. CLC, Inc. is solely responsible for their products and services. The MSA program is not insurance and does not provide reimbursement for financial losses. The program is not currently available under policies insured by Cigna Life Insurance Company of New York (New York, NY).
