The plans, called Cigna Connect, will network with a majority of Arlington Heights, Ill.-based AMITA Health and Chicago-based Presence Health primary care physicians, hospitals and specialty practices.

Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and its subsidiary Harken Health will exit Illinois’ market in 2017. Prior to Cigna’s entrance, the Illinois Department of Insurance said three-fourths of Illinois counties will have one or two payers offering coverage next year on the state’s ACA exchange.
