Written by Bukaty Companies | March 5, 2026

Cigna is in active negotiations with HCA Midwest Health ahead of their expiring contract. HCA Midwest Health providers were recently sent a letter notifying them of the potential impact of failed negotiations. The current contract is set to expire on May 1, 2026. Members will receive a letter notifying them of the negotiation status 30 days prior to the contract expiration.

The following hospitals may be impacted:

  • Belton Regional Medical Center
  • Menorah Medical Center
  • Cass Regional Medical Center
  • Overland Park Regional Medical Center
  • Centerpoint Medical Center
  • Research Medical Center
  • Lafayette Regional Health Center
  • Research Medical Psychiatric Center
  • Lee's Summit Medical Center
  • Menorah Medical Center

While negotiations are expected to continue up to the deadline, both parties remain optimistic about reaching an agreement. A short-term contract extension is also likely if additional time is needed to finalize terms.

Bukaty Companies will continue to monitor the negotiations and issue communications as needed. For questions, contact your benefits support team at 913.345.0440.
