To automate selection and create a single source of data for CIGNA's contracted health care professionals

Portico Systems has been selected by CIGNA to use its Integrated Provider Management (IPM) solutions to automate selection and create a single source of data for CIGNA’s contracted health care professionals.

These systems are designed to improve the accuracy of physician and health care facility reimbursement, provide more business relationship transparency and make it easier for health care professionals to do business with CIGNA.

Portico’s solutions will be integrated with CIGNA’s current systems in order to leverage the information within a single source and pass it to its downstream systems.

Nanci Ziegler, EVP of Market Strategy and Business Development of Portico Systems, said: “We are excited by this opportunity to support CIGNA’s ongoing commitment to be the health service company of choice for physicians and hospitals. Their investment in core provider business processes and technology assets is designed to help minimize administrative costs and make it simpler for health care professionals to do business with CIGNA.”

CIGNA Corporation’s operating subsidiaries provide an integrated suite of medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy and vision care benefits, as well as group life, accident and disability insurance.
