Cigna vs Tenet Healthcare

Network Contract Watch

As the countdown to New Year’s Eve shortens, Tenet Healthcare and Cigna remain at odds. The current contract expires on December 31, 2025.

This contract affects hospitals and facilities in eight states: Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. On their microsite for members, Tenet estimates that millions of patients in these states could be impacted.

While Cigna has not established a microsite for members, they did issue the following statement:

It’s disappointing that Tenet Healthcare is choosing to terminate our contract and spending untold amounts of dollars on expensive advertising to stoke fear among patients as a negotiating tactic. Unfortunately, Tenet is seeking contract terms that would inflate the cost of care unreasonably, making their hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers much more expensive for patients than other facilities.

If the contract expires, continuity of care provisions will apply.
