- Cigna is launching a telehealth service to give its 12 million members in employee-sponsored health plans access to primary care services.

The insurer is partnering with Florida-based telehealth provider MDLive to roll out the latter’s new Virtual Primary Care platform later this year.

“Virtual care enables Cigna to deliver convenient access to care and helps make health care more affordable, predictable and simple for our customers,” Julie McCarter, Cigna’s Vice President of Product Solutions, said in a press release. “Working together with MDLive, we are expanding virtual care to include primary care services, starting with wellness screenings.”
