Summary
Cigna Healthcare has strategic alliance partnerships with HealthPartners, MVP Health Care, and Priority Health. When patients present ID cards from these companies that also display the Cigna Healthcare name, their services should be treated as in-network under your existing Cigna Healthcare contract, with claims submitted to the strategic alliance partner at Cigna-contracted rates.
Action Required
Immediately: Train front desk staff to identify strategic alliance ID cards that display both Cigna Healthcare and partner company names (HealthPartners, MVP Health Care, or Priority Health). Update workflow to validate patient eligibility with and submit claims to the strategic alliance identified on the back of the ID card, not directly to Cigna. Ensure billing team knows these patients are covered under existing Cigna Healthcare contract rates.
