    Cigna Healthcare Quality Improvement Program

    Helping to improve the care we provide our customers and create a better quality of life.

    The Quality Improvement Program uses surveys and preventive screenings to track and develop the health care we provide our customers. By comparing the results of our surveys and screenings, we’re able to see how our programs help your health.

    • Getting needed tests, care, or treatment
    • Getting appointments with specialists
    • Getting the help you need to manage your care
    • Giving you the facts you need when you call us
    • Addressing physical and mental health needs

    Affirmative Statement on Incentives

    Cigna Healthcare Utilization Management associates base decisions on the clinical needs of members, benefit availability, and appropriateness of care. Objective, scientifically-based clinical criteria and treatment guidelines, such as InterQual measures, along with Medicare National Coverage Guidelines in the context of provider or member-supplied clinical information, lead the decision-making process. Cigna Healthcare in no way rewards or incentivizes, either financially or otherwise, practitioners, utilization reviewers, case managers, physician advisers, or other individuals involved in conducting utilization review, for issuing denials of coverage or service, or inappropriately restricting care.

    Our Evaluation of New Technologies

    The Cigna Healthcare Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and Clinical Guidelines Committee review new medications, medical and behavioral methods, and devices as potential benefit additions for our customers.

    The Cigna Healthcare Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee is made up of practicing physicians and pharmacists from many clinical specialties, along with experts on care for older adults or disabled people. They consider whether a certain drug is better than, the same as, or worse than the medical benefit and safety of other drugs within the same drug class. They also look at scientific studies and standards of care, along with clinical guidelines, up to date medical and drug studies, and Food and Drug Administration approved uses of medications.

    Based on this review, the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee votes on whether medications work better than, as well as, or worse than other treatments in terms of medical benefit and safety. This decision is used to help determine what drugs are listed on the formulary.

    For residents of Tennessee, TennCare is not responsible for payment for these benefits, except for appropriate cost sharing amounts. TennCare is not responsible for guaranteeing the availability or quality of these benefits.
