Edit request from Jimangstadt, 23 July 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} In the "Quality of Care" section, the clause describing Intracorp is inaccurate.

Remove "CIGNA's mail-order pharmacy program" and replace with "a subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation."

The in "References" section (Intracorp press release) verifies the accuracy of the requested change. Jimangstadt (talk) 13:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit requests from Jimangstadt, 2 August 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} In the overview section at the top of the page, I would like to request replacing the copy with the following updated description. The added information can be found contained within the CIGNA 2009 Annual Report online at http://www.cigna.com/about_us/investor_relations/release/BOP77415_CIGNA_CORP_AR.pdf CIGNA (NYSE:CI) is a global health service company with a comprehensive portfolio of health, pharmacy, behavioral, dental, disability, life, accident and international businesses. CIGNA was formed in 1982 through the combination of INA Corporation and Connecticut General Corporation. The name mixes the letters INA and CG together. Today, CIGNA's service mark, the Tree of Life, symbolizes the corporation's culture, mission and products.

CIGNA’s corporate headquarters are located at in Center City, Philadelphia, Penn., while its health care headquarters are located in Bloomfield, Conn.

With approximately 30,000 employees across the globe, CIGNA had 2009 consolidated revenues of $18.4 billion in 2009. Approximately 80 percent of its business is administrative services only (ASO), meaning that the business is not insured by CIGNA, but instead the employer customers maintain the risk, collect premiums from their employees and pay for their claims. CIGNA administers/oversees this process for them. It is the customer's money that pays claims. Jimangstadt (talk) 21:27, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}} I would like to recommend adding a "History" section. This information can be verified online at http://www.cigna.com/about_us/company_history.html HISTORY CIGNA gained its preeminent position by combining some of the oldest and most important companies in the insurance marketplace. The oldest of its predecessor companies was Insurance Company of North America (INA), a company rich with tradition. INA was formed by a group of prominent Philadelphians in November 1792, in Pennsylvania's State House, where the Declaration of Independence had been signed just 16 years earlier. The organizers were merchants and other prominent citizens who sought to protect ships, cargoes, warehouses, and homes through a company offering marine and fire insurance.

Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CG) was incorporated in 1865 in Hartford, Conn., on the heels of the Civil War, in response to insurance for invalids, persons predisposed to hereditary disease, and war veterans. Dr. Guy Phelps, a prominent businessman and graduate of Yale Medical School, saw a need to accept substandard risks. The idea appealed to investors, and the stock sold well. The idea was valid, but ahead of its time and the company soon turned to insuring first class risks. In 1921, Connecticut General reintroduced substandard insurance. By that time, medical and actuarial science had matured to the point that it was a viable business venture.

CIGNA's formation in 1982 combined a leading property-casualty insurer with a leading supplier of life insurance and employee benefits. Over time, CIGNA has tightened its focus on health care and employee benefits, divesting its individual life insurance business in 1998, its domestic and international property and casualty operations in 1999, and retirement business in 2004. Today, CIGNA continues to innovate, expand and grow. In offices throughout the United States and around the world, the company’s employees are united by a shared past and a commitment to CIGNA, and embrace corporate social responsibility to reflect and extend the company’s mission to improve health, well-being and security for all those we serve.

In The Community

In July 2010, CIGNA began giving each company employee eight hours of paid time off annually to volunteer with non-profit health and community service organizationsSource. The Salvation Army of Greater PhiladelphiaThe Salvation Army helped kicked off the program in front of CIGNA's Philadelphia[1] headquarters with the Christmas in July campaign[2]. The new program is an expansion of CIGNA’s previous volunteerism initiatives, such as the CIGNA Foundation’s Community Caring Awards, which recognizes the work employees are doing within their communities outside of working hours through grants to not-for-profit organizations.

Not done: {{edit semi-protected}} is not required for edits to semi-protected, unprotected pages, or pending changes protected pages. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 12:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Rather than create a new section, the first two sentences of the suggested edit could fit neatly in "Community & Civic Affairs/Charitable giving" section. The last sentence doesn't have any attribution.--Jimangstadt (talk) 14:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
