Linkia and Managed Care

Linkia and Managed Care

Gerardo Hernandez

Dear Members:

I simply wanted to put out there that Cigna has dropped contracts with all of
its providers (in South Florida at least) and is now using LINKIA as their
exclusive provider for O and P services.

Are any other areas of the country experiencing the same thing, or this is
phenomenon isolated to our area alone?

Also, are any privately owned practices affiliated with the LINKIA Network
of providers? Their website says to contact them about inclusion in their
network.

I look forward to hearing responses and dialogue on this issue. It is going
to be very interesting what other managed care companies will be doing in the
future and if they will follow.

Thanks for your input.
