RALEIGH, N.C. — Thousands of women in North Carolina found themselves without an OB/GYN after their providers and insurers failed to reach an agreement on coverage.
These women were seemingly caught in the middle of contract negotiations between the insurer and Unified Women's Healthcare.
Meghan Hennessy found herself in the middle of a battle between her insurer, Cigna, and her OB/GYN.
"We started getting letters in the mail in December, from Cigna, saying they couldn't come to an agreement with the doctors," said Hennessy. "Then we'd get letters from the doctors saying that they couldn't come to an agreement either with Cigna."
