Toledo, Ohio-based ProMedica will go out of network with Cigna Jan. 1 if the two sides are unable to reach an agreement on a new contract, the Toledo Blade reported Dec. 13.
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.
