As a reminder, starting in 2023, KPIC 3-Tier Point-of-Service and KPIC PPO Insurance plan members now have access to Cigna’s PPO Network outside of Kaiser Permanente states^1,2,3 — making it more convenient for them to find care when they need it.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Cigna PPO Network replaced members’ First Health Network access outside of Kaiser Permanente states. They’ll still be able to get care from their First Health Network providers within Kaiser Permanente states (California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia).

With the Cigna PPO Network, members will now get:

• More locations: With a broad network of providers, they have many options for care.
  
• Simple check-in: In December, members received an updated member ID card with the Cigna logo. They can just show it at their visit.
• Less paperwork: Cigna providers will get any necessary pre-certifications for care, so members don’t have to.

Members can visit kp.org/kpic-colorado anytime to find a Cigna PPO Network or First Health Network provider near them.

Contact your Kaiser Permanente representative for more resources and information about our collaboration with Cigna.
