Summary
This is a summary document of behavioral health articles published in the Cigna Provider Newsroom for June 2026. It is not a policy change but rather a compilation of links and highlights to existing policies and initiatives, including updates on mental health screening requirements, behavioral health appeal submission procedures, and 270/271 eligibility enhancements.
Action Required
No immediate action required. This document is informational only and serves as a navigation aid to existing policies. Billing teams should review the referenced articles for any applicable policy changes, particularly: (1) 'Prioritizing early mental health and substance use screening in 2026-2027' for potential documentation requirements updates in 2027, and (2) 'Guidance for submitting behavioral health appeals' to ensure appeals are routed to Evernorth Behavioral Health rather than Cigna Healthcare. Recommend designating one team member to monitor the Provider Newsroom regularly for policy updates.
