The two sides have been working to reach a new contract since last year, according to the report. 

“The costs connected to providing quality care continue to climb, just like costs have increased across various industries,” Renee Murphy, Norton’s senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer, told the outlet. “Cigna has been a good partner with us over the years and we hope to continue that working relationship.” 

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
