The contract between UCLA Health and Cigna is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. Beginning on July 1, Cigna HMO and PPO members may face higher out-of-pocket costs when utilizing UCLA Health medical providers.
Negotiations are ongoing. Cigna members can receive care at UCLA Health before July 1 without changes.
However, Cigna has begun notifying HMO members about the need to change primary care providers (PCPs). In the event that a member is assigned a new PCP, that member will remain with the new PCP. If negotiations succeed, members may need to actively request reassignment back to their former UCLA Health PCPs.
