Cigna Medical Group Announces Grand Opening of CMG CareToday Clinic in South Chandler, Ariz.

PHOENIX, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Cigna Medical Group has announced the opening of its newest CMG CareToday convenience care medical clinic in South Chandler, Ariz. This brings the total number of clinics to 10 since CMG CareToday's launch in 2007.

Staffed by board-certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants, the clinics offer walk-in medical care for unscheduled patients with low acuity conditions such as colds, flu, sore throat, lower back pain, ear aches, bladder infections and pink eye. In addition, the clinics offer pregnancy tests and child and adult immunizations, including flu shots. School, sports and camp physicals are also available.  

"CMG CareToday is a convenient alternative that can accommodate local residents who may be unable to see their primary care physician because of time or other issues," said Corinne Bell, DO, MBA, medical director of CMG CareToday. "Expanding the number of clinics Valleywide gives residents a place to go for non-emergency care and provides quick relief for common illnesses."

First time visits to any CMG CareToday location are $29 retail; subsequent visits are $59. Lab services range from $10 to $15 and a select number of generic prescription medications are available for $10 or $15. CIGNA customers, and individuals covered under other accepted health plans, pay only their office visit co-pay or co-insurance. Additionally, Cigna Medical Group patients who visit CMG CareToday will have their medical records transferred seamlessly through an electronic health record directly to their primary care physician for future follow-up.
