As a reminder, starting in 2023, Dual Choice PPO plan members now have access to Cigna’s PPO Network outside of Kaiser Permanente states^1,2 — making it more convenient for them to find care when they need it.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Cigna PPO Network replaced members’ PHCS access outside of Kaiser Permanente states (California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C.).³ They’ll still be able to get care from their PHCS providers within Kaiser Permanente states.

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 precertifications for care, so members don’t have to.

Members can visit kp.org/dualchoice-georgia anytime to find a Cigna PPO Network or PHCS Network provider near them.
