CIGNA Government Services' Role in Medicare
CIGNA Government Services, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation - one of the nation's premiere health insurance companies. For more than 125 years, CIGNA has been helping people lead healthier, more secure lives.
Since 1966, CIGNA and its predecessor companies have administered the federal Medicare program. Today, CIGNA Government Services provides a variety of services for Medicare providers, suppliers and beneficiaries in 18 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
