Cigna was formed through the 1982 merger of the Connecticut General Corporation and the Insurance Company of North America (INA), creating a diversified insurer with deep roots in the U.S. market. Over time the company has expanded its services and distribution channels, combining traditional insurance underwriting with health services and technology-enabled care management. Cigna operates primarily in the United States while also maintaining international operations and partnerships to serve customers and multinational employer clients.

Management has emphasized integrated care solutions and cost management through partnerships, data analytics and pharmacy management. David M. Cordani has served as president and chief executive officer, leading the company through strategic acquisitions and the evolution toward a broader health services model. Cigna’s business strategy centers on delivering coordinated health solutions aimed at improving clinical outcomes and lowering total cost of care for its customers and clients.
