Project Overview:
Pharmacy Benefits Manager (Argus) processes pharmacy claims and clinical programs for CIGNA. Argus is
integrated with CIGNA- receiving and sending data feeds to and from various CIGNA entities. Argus receives
eligibility, benefits, and structure from CIGNA and outside vendors to support CIGNA's pharmacy products including
Commercial, Medicare Part D, and Cigna West. Argus sends paid and rejected claim data, benefits, structure,
eligibility, and clinical program data feeds to CIGNA. CIGNA uses this information to reimburse Argus for claim
processing and to facilitate processing such as clinical programs. Argus supplies a reporting portal (RxFocus) which
is used by many CIGNA business users to obtain claim reporting. Argus sends (EOB's) Explanation of Benefits
letters to commercial members for direct member reimbursement (paper) claims and Medicare Part D members (all
claims on a monthly basis).
VFR (Vendor Fee Reimbursement) is a CIGNA application that receives paid claim data from Argus and initiates the
process by which Argus gets reimbursed for the claims they pay on CIGNA's behalf. VFR creates pharmacy paid
claim feeds to downstream systems including GHTR and CIGNA data warehouses.
GHTR is the System code for the database supported by Pharmacy IT which houses pharmacy claims data,
pharmacy eligibility, drug reference data, and clinical program experience

the one of the leading Group Health Insurance provider in the United States. The application provides eligibility-
based bills for all CIGNA HealthCare products. The system supports invoice generation and billing functions of
CIGNA Healthcare. It interfaces with the existing CIGNA HealthCare Cash System to handle remittances. The
application provides primary online access and entry into the main billing system. It allows
construction/modification of billing statements. In this project, BRIO reports are developed and maintained for
monthly financial reporting. For reporting a separate database is being maintained, which gets loaded from
source database via ETL.
CARBS – CIGNA Accounts Receivable Billing System this module responsible for Billing and Invoice generation.

free form text to be associated with an invoice or detail. This tool is also having capability to suppress or print a
Bill Balance Letter (BBL) for the latest reconciliation action.
