Tim Wentworth will serve as Chief
Executive Officer of Evernorth, to bring together Cigna's vast
array of health services capabilities, as well as those of partners
from across the health care system, in pharmacy solutions, benefits
management, care solutions, and data and analytics. By
coordinating best-in-class services, programs, and partnerships,
Evernorth will transform them into comprehensive solutions that
drive the most value for clients, customers, and
patients.
Evernorth's ability to deliver differentiated value sets it
apart in the marketplace and positions it as the industry's partner
of choice – highly sought out for its capabilities and its focus on
elevating the health care experience for millions of people around
the world.
"As champions for affordable, predictable, and simple health
care, Cigna is taking on the toughest challenges – from rising
costs to increasingly fragmented care," said David M. Cordani, President and CEO,
Cigna. "Evernorth's commitment to meeting the needs of those
it serves, a relentless focus on data-driven innovation, and proven
approach to partnering will further accelerate our growth and our
ability to solve complex issues in health care for the benefit of
those we serve."
Evernorth provides a distinct and dedicated platform for the
distribution of health solutions geared toward health plans,
employers, and government organizations – inclusive of those
without Cigna medical insurance. This enables Evernorth to partner
deeply with, and provide unmatched and focused support to these
groups, all guided by its unwavering commitment to make health care
better.
"Evernorth represents our belief that health is the starting
point of human progress and potential," said Wentworth. "It builds
on our leading capabilities, solutions, and partnerships in new and
expanded ways that set us apart. Our philosophy and unbiased
approach give us the ability to address health care challenges from
a fragmented system and provide our clients with more choice.
Evernorth will deliver innovative solutions not available anywhere
else."
Evernorth has a number of important characteristics that
distinguish it in the marketplace and enable it to deliver
differentiated value:
- A deeply rooted customer-centric orientation and philosophy
that delivers solutions designed to meet the specific needs of
those it serves. Evernorth brings together differentiated
capabilities and specialized expertise – from inside and outside
the company – to deliver custom and flexible solutions that meet
the needs of its clients and customers in ways that unlock greater
value and better health.
- A relentless, data-driven approach to innovation. With a
unique vantage point across all critical moments of care and
advanced data and analytics capabilities, Evernorth couples
meaningful insights with deep clinical expertise to provide
solutions that advance innovation in health care.
- A proven approach to sustainable partnerships. Evernorth
has a deep commitment to partnering in unconventional ways. With
its open business model and unbiased approach, Evernorth is
equipped to solve complex problems across a fragmented health care
ecosystem. Every player across the system is viewed as a potential
partner with whom it can build solutions or who can benefit from
its solutions.
A number of newly developed products and solutions demonstrate
the value that Evernorth delivers when it brings together and
coordinates powerful capabilities – fueled by data and analytics –
to address critical client needs. For example, Evernorth offers
Healthy Ways to Work, a broad suite of solutions to help
health plans and employers move forward by addressing the unique
challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Evernorth also
offers a new comprehensive fertility solution,
FamilyPathSM to reduce avoidable costs, provide
