“We understand that the possibility of Mercy Health being out of network was incredibly difficult for many of our patients. Our goal has always been to have long-term, equitable agreements with major payers so our patients can have seamless access to quality care in their communities,” the spokesperson said in the update on Mercy Health’s website.
The update given on the Mercy Health website outlines the agreement reached between Mercy Health and Cigna as of April 1 and reassures that ‘there has been no outage in care’ throughout their negotiations.
Mercy Health has hospitals in Springfield and Urbana, as well as an urgent care facility near Fairborn. The network also has hospitals across the state in Cincinnati, Lima, Lorain, Toledo, and Youngstown.
