Payment through payroll for all staff members enrolled in UN MIP

We’d like to inform you that as of January 16th, 2023, all UN staff members enrolled in UN MIP will be reimbursed for medical costs covered under the UN Medical Insurance Plan (MIP) through salary instead of bank transfer. Cigna will no longer reimburse you through direct transfer into your personal bank account. Instead, Cigna has been requested by the UN HLIS to issue monthly instructions to your Payroll team for the reimbursable amounts to be added to your salary.  This reviewed reimbursement modality will ensure that your transfers are not blocked or pending.  In addition, any lifting fees by your bank to receive Cigna’s transfers will be avoided.
