Cigna and UC Health are in a contract dispute that could terminate the health system's in-network status on July 1, 2026. This puts patient coverage at risk for thousands of Cigna members across UC Health's facilities and affiliated providers. Billing offices should immediately identify active Cigna patients with upcoming appointments or ongoing care at UC Health sites. Front desks need scripting to inform patients of potential out-of-network costs after July 1 if no agreement is reached. Practices should also prepare for potential claim disruptions and patient inquiries regarding continuity of care. Monitor UC Health and Cigna communications for updates before the deadline.
