HCSC Expands Medicare Services Through Acquisition of Cigna Segments

Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, has recently completed the strategic acquisition of various business segments from The Cigna Group®, significantly expanding its Medicare offerings. These acquired services encompass Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D Prescription, Medicare Supplement, and Supplemental Health and Life insurance plans. As a result, Cigna Healthcare® has discontinued offering these specific plans, streamlining its portfolio.

The management of the acquired plans is now under HealthSpring and its subsidiaries, affiliated with HCSC. Prospective clients and policyholders can access comprehensive details on these offerings by visiting HealthSpring.com. It is essential to clarify that Cigna Healthcare and HealthSpring maintain independent operations without any formal affiliation.

For existing holders of Medicare Supplement policies with Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company, administrative services are transitioning to Medco Containment Life Insurance Company, an HCSC subsidiary. Current policyholders are assured that their coverage remains unaffected, with no required actions on their part, as they continue with their existing Cigna plans.

Policyholders who shifted from Cigna Healthcare Medicare to a HealthSpring Medicare plan effective January 1 should explore essential resources on the HealthSpring website. These include access to the myHealthSpring Member Portal and various member support information to facilitate a seamless transition.

It is crucial for users navigating HealthSpring links to remain aware that some may lead to external sites not managed by Cigna Healthcare, ensuring transparency in web navigation and online engagement practices.
