Cigna Contract Negotiation It’s important to us that you know why we are negotiating with Cigna. As your community hospital, we’re committed to transparency. You deserve the facts.

Updated: April 15, 2026

Our current agreement with Cigna ends on May 20, 2026. If Cigna does not agree to fair, sustainable rates to protect your access to local, vital care and services, Health First physicians and services will be removed from Cigna’s network.

Throughout the negotiation, we’re committed to giving you the information you need to understand what’s happening and how you can advocate to keep your trusted Health First providers in-network. 

What can I do to help make sure Cigna agrees to a contract and Health First stays in my insurance network?

  1. Call or email Cigna. Let them know how important it is for you to maintain in-network access to your hospital and physicians. Call the number on the back of your insurance card.
  2. If you receive insurance through your employer, contact your Human Resources or leadership team. Let them know you deserve and expect a benefits plan that includes reliable in-network access to high-quality, local care at Health First.
