Affected policyholders include those with off-exchange individual and family medical preferred provider organization plans. Individual and family dental plans will not be affected by the change.

The company’s individual business in Connecticut, which has a small customer base, is unsustainable, the payer said. The most recent data from the state insurance department shows Cigna has 568 individual plan holders in Connecticut, according to a Hartford Business Journal report.
