Mid-America

There’s a new way for your clients to save on quality care. That’s because Cigna is bringing our successful LocalPlus^® plans to St. Louis and Kansas City starting on April 1, 2021. Cigna LocalPlus^® helps your clients manage costs – without sacrificing the quality and convenience their employees want and expect.

How does LocalPlus work?

Cigna works with health care communities in counties throughout the state, creating a collaborative network of local providers, specialists and hospitals. This closely connected network delivers value and results right where your clients are based – and right where their employees live. What happens if employees temporarily leave their local area? Not a problem. LocalPlus includes our Away From Home Care feature, giving employees access to in-network care from anywhere in the country where a LocalPlus Network does not exist.

Setting the stage for more savings and quality care.

Are St. Louis and Kansas City ready for LocalPlus? We’re happy to say that major hospitals and provider groups in each area are already on board. In fact, Cigna’s LocalPlus network includes:

• 5,600+ physicians and over 40 hospitals and urgent care centers in St. Louis¹
• 4,800+ physicians and over 30 hospitals and urgent care centers in Kansas City¹

Let’s take a closer look at your clients’ opportunity to save.

By taking a collaborative approach to care, where high performing doctors and facilities in the same community coordinate their efforts, the result is an increase in savings and better health outcomes. Cigna LocalPlus can potentially offer:

• 70% savings for employees when they use in-network labs, such as LabCorp or Quest²
