HCA Healthcare continues to work toward a new agreement with Cigna, but major issues remain unresolved, leaving the parties far from an agreement before the agreement's expiration on Sept. 30, 2026. By not reaching agreement, Cigna will be putting patients at risk of losing in-network access to the hospitals and providers they trust and facing higher out-of-pocket costs, rather than negotiating meaningfully toward resolution. Without an agreement, all Texas HCA Healthcare facilities will be out of network Oct. 1, except for emergency services.

The benefits of total joint surgery in an outpatient surgery center
Recovery: The convenience and comfort of recovery at home with available home health.
Lower Cost: Because there are no overnight hospital charges, your costs can be much lower in an outpatient setting.
Improved Outcomes: Surgeries are often shorter, and the infection rate is greatly reduced in an outpatient setting, as compared to a hospital stay.
Personal Service: Surgical staff will personally greet you and follow through the entire surgical process. Your medical history is reviewed and if you have any questions or concerns, our staff is available to assist.
Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy will be done at home and set up through your surgeon’s office.
