ProMedica sent a letter to Cigna-covered patients Dec. 5 stating that the sides have yet to reach an agreement for in-network coverage for 2023, according to the report. 

Cigna is alleging that the health system is demanding “excessively high rates,” the outlet reported. 

According to the report, the hospitals affected by the dispute are ProMedica Toledo Hospital, ProMedica Russell J. Ebeid Children’s Hospital, ProMedica Flower Hospital in Sylvania, ProMedica Bay Park Hospital in Oregon and ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital in Sylvania Township.

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.
