Cigna Healthcare's North Carolina Medicare Advantage plans use HMO and PPO networks. Network size and provider participation vary by plan and county.

In Charlotte and surrounding Mecklenburg County, provider participation is plan-specific and can change by contract year. Verify every doctor, hospital, and facility in the current plan directory before enrolling.

For beneficiaries in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Durham, compare the exact network offered at your address. Rural areas of North Carolina may have fewer participating providers, so network breadth and any out-of-network benefits should be verified for the specific plan.
