Cigna will administer Houston Methodist’s health plan that covers 26,000 employees, in addition to signing an in-network contract with the facility, the organizations said March 2.
Under the long-term agreement, patients with Cigna insurance can access Houston Methodist hospitals for in-network prices. The agreement also includes a value-based program that aims to improve care for Cigna members while lowering costs.
Separately, Cigna will administer Houston Methodist’s employee health plan through its third-party administrator, Allegiance.
