Why does the health assessment ask personal, non-health questions, such as my ethnicity and marital status?
Personal factors like ethnicity and marital status play a part in your total health picture and that information helps in assessing and predicting your future health risk. In addition, some ethnic groups are more at risk for certain health conditions, so it s important to include that information. Where does my health assessment information go after I complete it? Health assessment information is sent to CIGNA through a secure transmission and once we receive it, we maintain and secure the information as required by state and federal law. CIGNA only uses and discloses your health assessment information as described in the CIGNA Privacy Statement and for no other purpose. If CIGNA wanted to use or disclose the information in any other manner, we would request your written authorization to do so.
