Can Cigna's Smart Coverage Help Close Health-Cost Gaps?

Cigna Healthcare is introducing Smart Coverage, a new benefit option that automatically links medical claims with supplemental benefits to provide eligible members up to $7,000 for covered health events. The program launches January 1, 2027, for mid-sized employers and addresses a significant affordability gap, with nearly 60% of Americans unprepared for health costs. The initiative is designed to increase enrollment in high-deductible plans and boost supplemental product participation.
