Care coordinators can also help patients schedule appointments, provide health education and refer patients to Cigna's clinical support programs that may be available as part of their employee benefits plan. Examples include disease management programs for diabetes, heart disease and other conditions, and lifestyle management programs for tobacco cessation, weight management and stress management. Cigna will compensate Valley Preferred physicians for the medical and care coordination services they provide. Additionally, they may be rewarded through a "pay for value" structure for meeting targets for improving quality and lowering medical costs.
