#4 – New Ways to Submit HRAs
Cigna’s heard your feedback and has worked to make HRA facilitation easier and faster than before.
As of October 1, 2023, you will be able to access our HRA in the following locations:
- SunFire or ConnectureDRX: HRA embedded in each program for agents that are fully integrated into the respective vendor platform.
- CignaforBrokers: For non-SunFire users and/or non-ConnectureDRX agency partners – Use single sign-on to access the SunFire HRA via the “Health Risk Assessment” link in the Tools section.
- eEnrollment: HRA embedded at the end of the customer enrollment process. Access by clicking the “Cigna HRA Survey Tool” button on the enrollment Submission Confirmation screen.
You can continue to use the Icario tool to facilitate HRAs with your customers until December 31, 2023. After this date, Icario will no longer be available to facilitate HRAs, but you will be able to use the new tools listed above.
Make sure all agents (Licensed and Non-Licensed) certify for 2024 HRAs through Producers’ University – Reach out to your Account Manager with any questions on this process for your agents.
You’ll have until December 22, 2023 to submit the HRA for any customer applications taken from October 1 – December 7 of 2023.
