PCP Panel Reports
On a monthly basis, Cigna supplies each PCP with a Member panel report. The report contains a listing of all Members assigned to the PCP's membership panel and is sent to PCPs within five (5) days of receiving State eligibility files. PCPs are responsible for providing and/or coordinating care for the all Members on the report.
You can access your PCP panel report by going to the Cigna Provider Portal. If a Member does not appear on your PCP's panel report, call the Cigna Provider Services Department to verify the Member’s PCP assignment at 1 (877) 653-0331.
