Plan highlights
- Care available from in-network and out-of-network providers. Your out-of-pocket costs are typically lower when you receive care from in-network providers.
- Access to over 1 million in-network medical providers nationwide through the Cigna PPO network.
- No referrals required for in-network specialists.
- In-network providers work with Providence Health Plan to authorize treatment for certain services, such as hospitalization, high-tech diagnostic imaging and surgery. If care requires prior authorization and you want to receive services from out-of-network providers, you will need to ask your provider to initiate prior authorization.
- Prescription drug benefits with access to more than 34,000 pharmacies.
- Alternative care benefits for chiropractic manipulation and acupuncture services when care is received from a licensed qualified practitioner and determined as medically necessary.

You’re covered in the great northwest and beyond
Over one million providers – that’s a lot. We take great care to contract with the highest quality providers that offer compassion as they practice evidence-based medicine.
Find a medical provider near you
Because Providence Health Plan contracts with over 1 million medical providers, chances are that you’ll find exactly the provider you’re looking for. Search in the online provider directory. To optimize your search:
- Access the online provider directory.
- Enter your member ID number or select “Coverage through my employer,” then the Providence Signature Network in the drop down menus to search for providers.
- If you select a ZIP code outside of Oregon and southwest Washington, you will receive search results near that ZIP code.
- If you need help locating a medical provider, please contact customer service at 800-878-4445.
Download this flyer for tips and tricks in finding or talking to a Cigna provider that's outside of Oregon.
Navigating the Cigna PPO Network
NOTE: Behavioral Health providers and clinics are available only through Providence Health Plan — not through Cigna's PPO network. To find an in-network behavioral health provider or clinic, call customer service at 800-878-4445 (TTY: 711).
Tips for receiving care outside the northwest
- Bring your member ID card with you to each appointment.
- Tell your provider you are a Providence Health Plan member accessing the Cigna PPO Network*. The Cigna logo appears on the front of your member identification card.
Seeing an out-of-network provider?
Your out-of-pocket costs for care received from out-of-network providers will be higher, except for emergency care. You may need to submit a claim form for reimbursement. When the cost of out-of-network services exceeds usual, customary and reasonable charges, you are responsible for paying the provider any difference.
Contact us
If you have any questions regarding classes and reimbursements, please contact the Providence Resource Line at 503-574-6595 or 800-562-8964, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
*The Cigna PPO network refers to the health care providers (doctors, hospitals, specialists) contracted as part of the Cigna PPO for Shared Administration.
Cigna is an independent company and not affiliated with Providence Health Plan. Access to the Cigna PPO Network is available through Cigna's contractual relationship with Providence Health Plan. All Cigna products are provided exclusively by or through operating subsidiaries of Cigna Corporation, including Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company. The Cigna name, logo, and other Cigna marks are owned by Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc. -
Behavioral health resources
We know behavioral health care isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re all unique, and our journey and needs vary depending on our personal situation. At Providence, we want that lens to drive us when looking at the mix of services and solutions we offer for your well-being. Whether you’re looking for some support to relax, ready to try self-directed therapy that helps you to engage when you feel like it, or looking for immediate connection to a provider – via text, voice, video or face to face – we have many options to fit your needs.

Making the most of your benefits
The following tips can help you stay well and save on health care costs.
Tip 1: Use your preventive care benefits
Your plan covers certain preventive services in full when received from an in-network provider.
Tip 2: Choose in-network providers and pharmacies
Refer to the online provider directory to locate in-network providers and participating pharmacies.
Tip 3: Use preferred retail or mail order pharmacies to fill 90-day supplies of maintenance medication
Purchase up to a 90-day supply of maintenance medications using a participating mail-order pharmacy or a preferred retail pharmacy. Not all drugs are considered maintenance prescriptions, including compounded drugs, drugs from specialty pharmacies and oncology drugs. Learn more about this in the pharmacy resources section of this page.
Tip 4: Access the most appropriate care
Knowing when and where to get care is essential to your health and your wallet.Learn about your care options here.
Tip 5: Compare costs
Before receiving care, log in to myProvidence and use the treatment cost calculator to learn about a facility or doctor, and the estimated costs of your treatment. You can also compare medical facilities to make sure you’re getting the best care at the best price. The costs are customized to you based on your plan benefits, the providers in your plan’s network and how much you’ve accumulated toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. -
Tobacco-cessation resources
If you're tired of being captive to nicotine, we can help you break free.
Quitting tobacco of any sort takes a commitment. And keeping your commitment can be challenging if you're trying to do it on your own. We suggest you get support. Research shows that counseling or support in combination with medication (nicotine replacement therapy/prescription medication) offers the best shot at breaking free from tobacco.
Whether you've smoked for six months or 16 years, we've got someone you can partner with to help you be successful. It's up to you to find what works for you – telephone counseling or coaching, nicotine replacement therapy, a class. Take stock of your temperament – and then take the next step. All of these resources are available at no cost to you as a Providence Health Plan member:
- Quit For Life. A free telephone-based tobacco cessation program that provides extensive support to help you succeed at quitting – with a 91 percent satisfaction rate among participants. Counselors are on hand 24/7 to support you. To get started, call 866-QUIT-4LIFE (866-784-8454).
- Tobacco cessation classes. To find a class or provider near you, view our most recent list of tobacco cessation providers. If you live outside of the area, you are eligible for a class reimbursement.
- Prescription drugs (Nicotine replacement therapy). Do all you can do to break the habit. Combine telephone and class support with nicotine replacement therapy offering you a greater shot at breaking free from tobacco. Counseling, classes and medication are covered in full from an approved in-network provider. Limitations may apply.
- Health coaching. Our health coaches are here to support your journey to a healthier, happier life. For more information or to get started, complete a health coach inquiry form, or call 888-819-8999 or 503-574-6000.
