No Surprises Act (NSA): This act protects you from surprise billing and balance billing when you receive emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center. Review this notice to understand your rights and protections under the NSA.
Transparency in Coverage: These links (Cigna | Centivo) lead to the machine-readable files that are made available in response to the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule and includes negotiated service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts (applies to the Cigna HD and HD Plus Plans only) between health plans and healthcare providers. The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data.
