a Cigna Healthcare spokesperson said Jefferson Health 'chose to leave our network due to their unreasonable rate hike demands.'

Cigna Healthcare 的一位发言人表示，杰斐逊健康“由于其不合理的涨价要求，选择退出我们的网络。”

'Almost all our employer clients' benefits plans are self-funded, which means any increase in cost of care is paid directly by local employers, their employees and their families,' the spokesperson said. 'We will continue to negotiate with Jefferson Health to reach a fair agreement that will keep healthcare affordable for patients.' .

“几乎我们所有雇主客户都自主制定福利计划，这意味着护理成本的任何增加都是由当地雇主、雇员及其家属直接支付的，”发言人表示。“我们将继续与杰斐逊健康中心进行谈判，以达成一项公平的协议，确保患者能够负担得起医疗费用。”

Emergency services at Jefferson Health are still in-network for Cigna members, according to the health system. Some members may qualify for transition-of-care programs or out-of-network benefits.

根据该卫生系统的说法，杰斐逊健康中心的急诊服务仍在Cigna会员的网络内。一些会员可能符合过渡性护理计划或网络外福利的资格。
