This misclassification allegedly led to unexpected medical bills and coverage issues for Cigna members who believed they were receiving in-network care. If you're a Cigna member who experienced surprise medical bills or coverage problems because a provider was incorrectly listed as in-network when they were actually out-of-network, you may be entitled to compensation from this settlement.
