Cigna and Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare reached an agreement in their contract dispute, a Cigna spokesperson confirmed Dec. 31 to Becker’s.
Tenet has 64 hospitals, nearly 370 ambulatory surgical centers and roughly 2,000 providers across the country.
“An agreement has been reached with Tenet Healthcare, their physicians and ambulatory surgery centers to continue providing in-network healthcare with no interruption in coverage for our customers,” a Cigna spokesperson told Becker’s. “Together we will continue improving the health and vitality of the people we both serve in the community through access to affordable care.”
Cigna did not specify the length of the contract.
The Phoenix Business Journal originally reported the potential for Tenet to no longer be in Cigna’s network in 2026. Amid the negotiations, Tenet launched the “Keep Your Healthcare Access” campaign, which featured contact information for Cigna leaders across the hospital network’s markets. The website also provided members with a petition to sign.
