“This agreement is great news for the more than twenty thousand people in this region who are Cigna-insured and rely on AHN for their health care needs,” said AHN President James Benedict in a news release. “We appreciate Cigna’s good faith efforts to reach a contract that enables its members to continue receiving the outstanding care and services they have come to expect from AHN.”
“The collaboration we have with Allegheny Health Network puts quality, affordable care in reach for the people we jointly serve in this community,” said Mike Ungvary, vice president of Network Management for Cigna Healthcare’s Pennsylvania Market. “Together we will continue working to improve the health and vitality of Cigna Healthcare commercial and Medicare Advantage customers.”
