Cigna PPO Association Health Plan

Nationwide PPO Coverage for Employers, Sole Proprietors & Professionals

The Cigna PPO Association Health Plan (AHP) provides employers, sole proprietors, and professionals with access to the national Cigna PPO network through one of the country's largest professionally managed association health plans.

By leveraging the purchasing power of more than 60,000 association members, the plan delivers competitive pricing, comprehensive PPO benefits, and predictable monthly premiums — all while providing the simplicity of a traditional carrier health plan.

Unlike shopping for coverage as a small employer on your own, participating through the Association allows eligible businesses to benefit from the buying power and stability of a much larger group.

Available nationwide for groups with 1 to 99 employees (subject to state eligibility guidelines).

A health plan that works like traditional insurance

From the employer's perspective, the Cigna PPO Association Health Plan functions much like a traditional fully insured health plan.

  • Pay one fixed monthly premium
  • Enroll your employees
  • Receive ID cards
  • Employees access the nationwide Cigna PPO network
  • Claims are professionally administered

There are:

  • No employer claims administration
  • No employer funding responsibilities beyond the monthly premium
  • No employer responsibility for catastrophic claims
  • No surprise assessments during the plan year

Everything is professionally managed by the Association and its third-party administrator.

Rate Guarantee

Fixed premiums for 12 months

Every employer receives a 12-month rate guarantee beginning on their effective date. Whether coverage starts in January or October, your premium remains fixed for your entire 12-month plan period. At renewal, rates are reviewed based on the Association's annual renewal process and any approved benefit changes. Enrolling at any time during the year is simple and predictable.
