Cigna Adds Iora Primary Care to Medicare Advantage Network in Phoenix Area
October 20 2021 - 5:00PM
Cigna Corporation, a global health services company, has added Iora
Primary Care providers to its Medicare Advantage (MA) network in
Arizona’s Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix.
“As Cigna continues to expand its Medicare Advantage network we
are building partnerships with providers that share our focus on
delivering affordable, high-quality care,” said Dan Hoemke,
president of Cigna’s Medicare Advantage business in Arizona. “We
have worked successfully with Iora in other geographies and are
very pleased to bring this relationship to our customers in the
Phoenix area.”
Customers in all of Cigna’s MA plans in Maricopa County now have
access to Iora’s practices, effective immediately. Iora operates 12
primary care practices in Maricopa County. Cigna MA members can
choose Iora Primary Care in Denver, Charlotte, Houston, Tucson and
now Phoenix.
Iora specializes in primary care for older adults, making it
easier for MA patients to access health care, whether in the
doctor’s office or in the comfort of their home. It provides its
patients with longer appointments, in-person or virtual. Every
patient works with a provider and has access to a robust team
including a health coach, nurse and behavioral health specialist to
help optimize health and wellness.
Cigna has grown its participating provider network by more than
25% in the last 18 months. More than 80% of Cigna's customers are
in rewards and value-based arrangements. Cigna’s value-based care
agreement with Iora increases coordination and emphasizes
preventative care to drive improved health outcomes and greater
patient satisfaction.
Tyler Jung, Chief Medical Officer, Iora Health, said, “We’re
excited to expand our work together with Cigna as they have a
similar passion for improving the lives of Medicare beneficiaries
by focusing on the whole person. Our ability to offer Iora’s care
to Cigna Medicare customers moves us one step further in our
journey to transform health care.”
