What a fantastic opportunity this is for Cigna Healthcare's senior members. Here's one more reason why your residents need to be connected to the Internet, and trained to use it, so they can become more collaborative with stakeholders in their lives.
Just think what a wonderful benefit this is for seniors who have limited mobility or live far away from their Provider's office. This service truly improves the quality of life for seniors as they age and gives them access to resources they need without having to leave the comfort of their home.
TSH gives Cigna a BIG High Five for launching this FREE service. Cigna really knows how to take care of its aging customers. Hopefully other Providers will follow suit . . . .

Cigna HealthCare for Seniors on Tuesday announced that it will cover electronic visits and other online health services at no cost to patients, the Business Journal of Phoenix reports. Cigna will use McKesson's connectivity system, RelayHealth.
Cigna Medical Group, Cigna's physician network, in mid-2006 began offering online services at its 17 health care centers in Arizona. Patients can use the RelayHealth service to schedule or cancel appointments, refill prescriptions, request lab results or a referral, e-mail their physician and manage their personal health records online.
Senior plan members will be able to access the online health services at no cost, but other Cigna members will be charged a fee, the Business Journal of Phoenix reports.
Bob Carroll, vice president and chief operating officer for Cigna HealthCare of Arizona, said e-visits will improve access for patients who might have limited mobility or transportation options (Business Journal of Phoenix, 4/10).
