Dive Brief: Cigna netted a profit of $1.2 billion in the first quarter, on par with the first quarter of last year, while increasing revenue to $41 billion despite continued COVID-19 headwinds in the health insurance market. The Connecticut-based insurer beat Wall Street expectations in the quarter, and increased its forecast for the full year, signaling optimism for the remainder of 2021 despite the ongoing uncertainty. Cigna s Evernorth health services unit, which includes pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts, helped propel the first quarter beat after netting a 13% increase in revenue year over year. Dive Insight: The first quarter was one of the worst of the pandemic in the U.S., as hospitalizations, cases and deaths all peaked at some point in the period. Those metrics improved dramatically as the quarter went on and as vaccinations climbed, according to data maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
