After reaching an agreement with the health insurer Cigna, VCU Health has secured its spot as an in-network option next year on the individual market in the Richmond area.
Before that agreement was reached last week, HCA Virginia was the sole in-network choice for anyone who bought a plan on the individual market in Henrico and Chesterfield counties, as well as Richmond.
“I think, mutually, all parties are glad that we were able to come to an agreement,” said Sheryl Garland, VCU Health’s vice president for health policy and community relations.
The in-network benefits for Cigna members will began Jan. 1, according to a VCU Health statement, though the health system will not be listed as in-network on Cigna’s website or HealthCare.gov until that date.
