Step 4

Optional: Select one of the plans offered by your employer during open enrollment. (OAP) Network Open Access Plus

That’s it! You can also refine your search results by distance, years in practice, specialty, languages spoken and more. Search first. Then choose Cigna.

Urgent Care Centers

At these walk-in medical clinics, doctors and nurses provide immediate care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries (sore throat, ear infections, stomach pains, minor cuts, COVID tests, etc.) Urgent care centers often cost much less than going to the ER and may provide much faster care. Many offer evening, weekend, and 24-hour services. Appointments may be needed.

Hospital Emergency Rooms

Average Cost:$2,000

Usually located in ahospital, an ER provides immediate, emergency care for serious and lifethreatening illnesses andinjuries (heart attack, major broken bones, allergic reactions, shortness of breath, etc.)

Free-Standing Emergency Rooms

Average Cost:$4,000

Avoid these if possible. These centers fulfill the same need as a hospital ER, but typically do not contract, and are not in network. The cost at these facilities is much higher for both you, and the medical plan.

If the facility is not attached to a hospital, and has "EMERGENCY" in the name, it is a Free-Standing Emergency Room.

When you or someone you know has alife-threatening medical problem, call 911immediately.
