Cricket Health's partnership with your health plan is ending effective January 1, 2024. If you are a kidney care patient who has engaged with Cricket Health, please contact your health insurance provider for information about your kidney care options. Thank you for allowing us to support you. We wish you all the best in your health journey.

The Cigna — Cricket Health collaboration has improved patient engagement and key clinical outcomes for those living with chronic kidney disease (CKD)*.

A year ago, we collaborated with Cigna to provide its customers* living with CKD personalized care and high-touch support — and what a success it’s been!

 
  • 45%

    Within the first year of the program, there was more than a 45% reduction in hospitalizations among patients in the Cricket program*.

  • 100%

    Of the Cigna customers who completed Cricket’s education program, 100% made a choice other than in-center dialysis* for their end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) treatment.

  • 63%

    63% began dialysis treatment in an outpatient setting, lowering overall medical spend for these Cigna customers*.

Working collaboratively with Cigna’s nephrologists, primary
care providers, and other specialists, we’re able to:

Bridge the gap between appointments helping to manage patients’ everyday health outside their provider’s office.

Help you be more efficient during appointments and effectively meet quality-care goals.

Give you peace of mind that your patients are supported with comprehensive care.

An engaged patient tends to lead to better health outcomes
and lower costs for health plans.
