Cigna Unveils Global Health Benefits Plan For Adults Aged 60+

(RTTNews) - Cigna Group's Cigna Healthcare announced the launch of a new, customized global health benefits plan for people aged 60 and older citing growing consumer demand for international health coverage. The plan has no age limit, ensuring people are covered for as long as needed.

The new plan includes full cancer coverage and benefits to support health and well-being across all areas of life; as well as optional outpatient cover for certain chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes and arthritis.

The International Health business' Cigna Healthcare Global Plan for Seniors supports new Cigna Healthcare research forecasting that the market is expected to reach 450,000 people by 2025.

The 'Cigna Healthcare Global Plan for Seniors' offers health, well-being, and preventive care services. It also provides essential coverage for hospital stays, inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment, and vaccinations.

The offers also include medical and pharmacy care for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, joint or back pain, and osteoporosis/osteopenia.

The plan's key benefits also include mental health support including up to 20 face-to-face counselling sessions and access to mindfulness coaches and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT psychologists.

Further, the customers will have access to personal trainers and qualified coaches for help with weight management, healthy eating, physical activity, sleep, stress management and tobacco cessation.
