Cigna Credits New Evernorth Segment for Strong 3Q Earnings
Cigna Corp.’s new segment Evernorth, which includes the company’s Express Scripts PBM business, drove strong third-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ expectations.
At the same time, the insurer’s medical loss ratio (MLR) ticked up to 82.6% from a very low 70.5% in the second quarter, as utilization of medical services bounced back from the depressed levels seen early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
