QualCare Open Access Plus out-of-area plan On October 1, 2016, the QualCare Open Access Plus (OAP) out-of-area plan will be effective. Please note the new effective date which was recently changed since the plan has not been sold for the original September 1, 2016 effective date. The plan is designed specifically for customers who live outside the service area of the local plan offered by their employer. It will first be available to customers whose employers offer the Seton Insurance Company plan, but who live outside of the designated 13-county service area in the Austin and Waco, Texas markets. It will also be offered as a standalone plan for hospital vertical clients (hospital systems that are also clients). The plan will be offered by and underwritten by Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company (CHLIC), and administered by QualCare, Inc., a Cigna company. It leverages the Cigna OAP and OAP In-Network (OAPIN) networks. Service channels will be different than those used by providers for Cigna plans. The Cigna for Health Care Professionals website (CignaforHCP.com) for self-service functions is not available for this plan.
