New ''Wellness Score'' from CIGNA Can Forecast Health Risks Years in Advance
BLOOMFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 8, 2008--What if you could see into the future and know more now about the things you’re doing – or not doing – that are likely to result in health risks and health care expenses down the road? CIGNA is giving its members the ability to do just that by launching its sophisticated, “next generation” health assessment and predictive capabilities.
It goes on to describe how vast majorities of people surveyed thought it would be beneficial to have in-depth assessments done online. They said they would follow online "coaching" programs to improve their future health outlook. Sounds fairly positive and benign so far. After all, I trust Cignachokegasp.

Patient Revolt works.
Pacificare folds, just like Cigna did with Nataline. Hopefully this time it won't be too late. Say a prayer tonight for 17-year-old Nick Colombo.
Health insurer PacifiCare reversed its denial of advanced radiation treatment for a Placentia teenager, but the youth's supporters went ahead with a scheduled demonstration while waiting to see the company's decision in writing.Posted in Archived — Comments (21) / Email this page » / Read More »

Here we go again.
What is it, about one per quarter now? If this one goes as well as the first did - maybe buried in election hysteria instead of Christmas (the distraction that worked so well last time) - maybe they can squeeze in two or three more before Christmas '08.
What a quarter that will be!
