Cigna Corporation announced it will build on its pharmacy benefits business by entering into a ten-year strategic PBM partnering agreement with Catamaran which combines the customer focus and clinical excellence of Cigna's pharmacy team with the capabilities of Catamaran, and the combined purchasing scale of the two companies. Cigna will continue to offer fully integrated management of medical and pharmacy benefits consistent with its business strategy. Under the terms of the agreement, Cigna will continue to lead formulary management, clinical and product development and sales and marketing, while also managing all day-to-day customer- and client-facing functions. Cigna will also continue to provide differentiated clinical services to over eight million customers and integration of medical care and disability management with clinical and pharmacy programs. In retaining its direct engagement with physicians and health care professionals, Cigna will build on its commitment to provide better health outcomes for customers. Catamaran will bring a leading technology and service platform to better serve Cigna's existing and future pharmacy customers. Catamaran will also provide prescription drug procurement and inventory management, order fulfillment for Cigna's home-delivery pharmacy, retail network contracting, and claims processing. Cigna will continue to be the brand for all pharmacy-related customer interactions. All home delivery prescription drugs and refills will be dispensed and distributed under the Cigna name and label.
