CIGNA Eases Provider Contracting Process

Health insurer CIGNA has introduced electronic contracting to ease and speed enrollment of medical and behavioral health physicians, and small practices of five or fewer physicians.

Providers wanting to enter into a first-time, standard contract with CIGNA can use a secure website to complete and sign documents, cutting enrollment time in half and saving money according to the Bloomfield, Conn.-based payer.

CIGNA adds more than 20,000 new physicians and small practices a year and the process generates more than a million pieces of paper.
