Companies need to be very cautious about who they hire for many reasons. There is a chance that much of the information you will access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. You will be working with the public, and Cigna needs to ensure they hire trustworthy individuals. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check and drug test they require.

As with any interview question, you should focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue, assure the interviewer that you will pass the test because you do not use drugs. Some states also allow Cigna to test for nicotine in your system. The list of states that allow this is on the company website. If you have anything on your record, you must also disclose that as the investigators will discover any past criminal history.

If passing a drug test will be an issue for you, it is best to wait until you are clean to apply for a Cigna Internship. Many agencies require a pre-employment background investigation and drug test, so you must pass both to work in this profession.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I do not participate in drug use and never have. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role, I will maintain a clean record."
