CIGNA Group Insurance Shows Consumers 'There's More to Life' Through a New Consumer Educati...(cation (LIFE). In addition to its new...),Health

In addition to its new online consumer education toolkit, CIGNA is encouraging consumers to learn more about their life insurance plan and to ensure their beneficiary designations are up to date.

"Life insurance policyholders have a very important job, which is to ensure that their loved ones will have easy access to the benefits they have purchased," Jacobsen said. "Ensuring that beneficiary designations are up to date and accurate is crucial."

Jacobsen suggested that policyholders might consider updating beneficiary information at the same time as another annual task, such as when they're scheduling an annual doctor's visit. "That way, it will become a routine step that assures their loved ones will have access to the benefits they are entitled to receive."
