SOUTH BEND, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cigna (NYSE:CI) and Memorial Hospital, a community-owned, not-for-profit corporation, have entered into a multi-year contract that adds the hospital and its employed physicians to Cigna's network of participating hospitals and doctors in Indiana. The agreement became effective October 1, 2015.
With this new addition to the network, Cigna customers who receive services from Memorial Hospital will now be covered at the in-network benefit level, according to the terms of their health benefits plan. Customers will have access to inpatient and outpatient care, childbirth classes and pediatric care.
“We are pleased to expand our offerings across Indiana, especially into South Bend, with the addition of Memorial Hospital to our network,” said Mike Phillips, Cigna’s president and general manager for the Midwest. “Working together with Memorial, we look forward to providing our customers with customer-focused, affordable health care.”
