Cigna starts offering benefits to Canadian expats

Cigna Global Health Benefits has started providing medical, dental, vision and pharmacy benefits to Canadian expatriates and their eligible family members.

This offering gives customers access to direct reimbursement and the ability to use their benefits anywhere in the world.
Cigna Global Health Benefits worked with Cowan Insurance Group, a provider of third-party administrator services in Canada, to bring this service to market.

“Navigating the healthcare landscape of a foreign country can be very challenging for an expatriate employee and their dependents,” says Jason McCormick, vice-president of international benefits with Cowan Insurance Group. “Multi-national employers want their expatriate employees to have a comprehensive healthcare program so that when they travel, their medical needs will be covered.”
