NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cigna's plans in Tennessee have received top ratings for quality care and customer service. Most recently, Cigna (NYSE: CI) was named a top Medicare Advantage HMO health plan in Tennessee, receiving a 4.5 out of 5 star rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS’s Five-Star Quality Rating System rates Medicare Advantage plans on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the highest, as a way to help consumers judge the quality and customer service of Medicare Advantage plan choices.
“Cigna designs comprehensive benefit plans to meet our customers’ individual health care needs and help improve the long term health of our customers,” said Greg Allen, president for Cigna in Tennessee. “By working together with health care professionals and customers, we can deliver valuable insights into a customer’s health to help tailor solutions that can have the greatest impact.”
All Cigna Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits not covered under Original Medicare and are designed to help beneficiaries better manage their health and limit out-of-pocket medical expenses. Medicare beneficiaries can enroll in Cigna 2016 plans during the annual election period, which runs from October 15, 2015 to December 7, 2015.

Additionally, earlier this fall, Cigna’s HMO/POS plan was recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as the top-rated commercial plan in Tennessee with a 4 out of 5 rating, according to NCQA’s Private Health Insurance Plan Ratings 2015-2016. The ratings compare the quality and services of more than 1,000 health plans and are based on the measurement of a health plan's performance in three categories: customer satisfaction, prevention and treatment.
“The designations from CMS and NCQA help illustrate the value we can help deliver to our customers at every stage of their lives,” said Allen.
