Mr. Cordani made the comments during an interview with Bloomberg TV’s David Westin at the Economic Club of New York on Nov. 20. His statements come nearly a year after Cigna completed its purchase of pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts.
In the interview, Mr. Cordani said the insurer expects $8 billion in free cash flow in 2020, which could give the payer “strategic optionality,” he said. “We think that’s important in an environment of perpetual change.”
Mr. Cordani added that integrating with Express Scripts has gone well since the deal closed in December 2018.
