The City of Portland is committed to providing employees with options to guard against life’s unexpected illnesses and injuries and partnered with Cigna Healthcare to offer Critical Illness, Accidental Injury, and Hospital Care Insurance. These benefits are 100% employee paid and are portable. This means you can take the coverage with you if you leave the City of Portland.

Critical illness insurance

Being diagnosed with a critical illness is hard enough, but you should not have to worry about how it impacts your finances as well. That’s why having Cigna Healthcare Critical Illness insurance is so important.

What It Is:

A cash benefit paid directly to you when you are diagnosed with a covered illness, such as a heart attack or stroke. This video explains the benefit in more detail.

Benefit Example:

Coverage: Marco enrolled in $10,000 worth of coverage
Situation: Marco had a heart attack while raking leaves2
Marco’s Covered Benefit: heart attack diagnosis
Critical Illness Benefit: $10,000 paid directly to Marco

Critical Illness premiums are provided here and vary according to your age and level of coverage you select: $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, or $30,000.

Accidental Injury Insurance

No one can protect you from unexpected accidents or injuries. Accidents happen every two (2) seconds at home and every nine (9) seconds on the road. Accidental Injury Insurance pays an after tax, lump sum benefit directly to you to help with expenses. Examples of covered incidents include hospitalizations, broken bones, and certain surgeries. Cigna Healthcare Accidental Injury insurance offers coverage that can help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

What It Is:

A cash benefit paid directly to you when you face an unexpected, covered accident, such as an ankle sprain or arm fracture. This video explains the benefit in more detail.

Hospital Indemnity Insurance

A hospital stay can happen at any time, and can add up quickly — medical bills; travel, food and lodging costs; plus, the day to-day expenses that don’t stop while you’re in the hospital. Cigna Healthcare Hospital Care can provide you and your loved ones with additional financial protection and can help cover these unexpected events – so you can focus on getting better.
