The Chief Counsel of Cigna Global Health Benefits, one of the largest U.S. health plans, Neil Boyden Tanner, makes a turn by Brazil, where he has been meeting with officials and industry representatives. The group does not operate in the country, but as Tanner says, like any large corporation, Cigna is always evaluating business opportunities.
A competitor UnitedHealth joined in late 2012 in Brazil, when it acquired Amil. Officially, the presence of Tanner in Brazil has nothing to do with prospects of potential business. "My visit has no relationship with Cigna," he told the Valor on Friday after a presentation on the American health care system at the Chamber of Commerce Brazil-USA in Belo Horizonte. Cigna Global Health Benefits is a business unit of Cigna.
Tanner is in the country as part of the Eisenhower Fellowships in order to, as he said, "know Brazil better because it has been so successful in attracting foreign direct investment." Apart from Cigna, he serves on the boards of several institutions working to attract investment to Philadelphia (USA), where he lives. One such institution is the British American Business Council, of which Tanner is formerly the president.
Asked if between meetings on investment attraction, he has leveraged his stay also for exploring the Brazilian market, Tanner chose not to answer yes or no. "I've had meetings with some people from the health sector that have been very interesting. Whenever I travel I like to inform myself more about the health sector in that country."
One of the hosts of the executive in Brazil gave his impression: "Formally, executives come with a justification of cultural tourism. But these visits are always looking." Tanner has gone through Sao Paulo, Brasilia and Belo Horizonte. He was on his way to Rio and still will visit Campinas and then São Paulo again.
Cigna does not operate in South America. Asked whether Brazil is beyond the horizon of the company, Tanner said: "I'm probably not the best person to answer that question, but like any large multinational corporation, Cigna is always looking at opportunities." He added: "At this time, we would operate in many countries. As developing countries allow and as opportunities arise we are always analyzing these opportunities." Cigna closed 2012 with revenues of $ 29.1 billion.
