Please review the attached notice from Cigna regarding their Connect Individual & Family Plan.

Cigna is announcing that their Connect plan will become effective in four additional counties in the Kansas City area.  However, please remember that while we will continue to be participating providers in other Cigna networks, Mercy providers in the North Central Region WILL NOT be in network for the Cigna Connect Individual & Family Plan that is marketed and sold in the Kansas City and St. Louis areas.  These plans require enrolled customers to use only Connect Network participating providers and there are no benefits for out-of-network services, unless it’s for a medical emergency.

A sample identification card is included on the attached flyer for your reference.
