HCA Healthcare’s goal throughout these negotiations has remained simple: keep our hospitals, physicians and outpatient facilities in Cigna Healthcare’s network while ensuring we can continue delivering the exceptional care our patients expect.

For several months, we have been negotiating in good faith with Cigna Healthcare, but significant issues remain unresolved. Cigna Healthcare’s current position on reimbursement rates do not appropriately support the rising costs of providing healthcare services.

For us, these discussions are about protecting your access to quality healthcare — not disrupting it. For now, your appointments and scheduled procedures remain unchanged, our hospitals, physicians and outpatient facilities continue to participate in Cigna Healthcare’s network today.

We remain hopeful an agreement will be reached before October 1, 2026.

We understand the uncertainty contract negotiations can create for patients and families. That is why we are committed to providing timely updates throughout this process.
