“Cigna’s Connect health care exchange product will now be out of network effective October 1, 2023. This means that as a HIX Cigna Healthcare member, you may either not be covered for non-emergency medical services at our facilities, or you may be required to pay higher out-of-network costs for those services,” HCA said.
