- Cigna HealthFirst Elite Medical Plan provides solutions and support throughout life's journey

HONG KONG, May 25, 2017 - (ACN Newswire) - Cigna has recently launched its 2017 Brand Campaign in Hong Kong to raise brand awareness and reinforce Cigna's mission of improving people's health, well-being and sense of security. Themed 'That's how health insurance should be', the campaign challenges common perceptions about what health insurance can deliver and demonstrates how Cigna can provide additional value above and beyond paying medical bills through a child's perspective.

Cigna's new Brand Campaign highlights the value of health insurance through a child's perspective

Featuring spontaneous reactions of children when asked what they would do if their parents became ill, the integrated marketing campaign runs on a variety of channels with video advertisements on digital and social media platforms, TV and MTR in-train screens. Tailored messages are communicated through digital and social media channels to maximize target audience reach, while the TV and MTR advertisements magnify the messages to raise awareness among the mass public.

"As revealed by Cigna's 2017 360 Well-being Survey, people in Hong Kong are increasingly concerned about their health and well-being. As an active health and well-being partner, we are dedicated to providing health protection to address people's needs throughout their life journeys," said Mr. Austin Marsh, CEO and Country Manager, Cigna Hong Kong. "Our brand campaign echoes what Cigna stands for - that we are together with our customers all the way. We believe that health insurance is about providing health solutions and support to meet people's healthcare needs and help improve their overall well-being."

According to the Survey, the top health concerns for people in Hong Kong are cancer, heart disease and chronic illness. The campaign's video advertisements highlight the corresponding features that the new Cigna HealthFirst Elite Medical Plan1 can provide for these diseases showcasing how Cigna's products are designed to ensure customers receive comprehensive care - from staying well, obtaining access to healthcare and medical support to recovery from illness. These product features include:

- Cancer - providing first-in-market2 'Premium Waiver due to Cancer' that frees customers from premium payments for up to six months.
- Heart disease - fully covering outpatient expenses for up to 120 pre-admission and post-hospitalization follow-up clinic visits per policy year, which is the highest number in Hong Kong2.
- Stroke - providing rehabilitation benefit of HK$300,000 per policy year.

"At Cigna we put our customers at the heart of everything we do. The new Cigna HealthFirst Elite Medical Plan is innovative and offers comprehensive benefits and services that meet customer's personal needs. We believe it is a solution that can provide prevention, protection and rehabilitation support to enhance the overall health and well-being of our customers," concluded Mr. Marsh.
