Cigna, Allegheny Health Network contract dispute threatens in-network access for thousands
Thousands of Cigna commercially insured people in the Pittsburgh region could lose in-network access to Allegheny Health Network by the end of June in a dispute over a new contract. AHN patients who use Cigna were notified this week of the impasse in negotiations on a new contract, meaning most care would be out of network if there isn't a new contract in place by June 30, according to a copy of a letter obtained by the Pittsburgh Business Times. About 20,000 Cigna members have used an AHN provider within the past year. It's the second such dispute in the past two years. The contract that runs out is for commercially insured members and not for Medicare or Medicare Advantage members. Cigna in March 2025 sold the Medicare-related business to Health Care Service Corp., a Chicago-based insurer. HCSC's coverage of Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients isn't impacted by this dispute and those patients will continue to have in-network access to AHN no matter what happens to the commercial insurance agreement.

Nakama Japanese Steakhouse closes doors after 20 years on South Side
South Side restaurant Nakama Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi has quietly closed its doors. The hibachi-teppanyaki restaurant has ceased offering its dining services, stopped taking reservations online for further meals, and its phone is no longer operational. Representatives for Nakama did not respond to multiple attempts to contact the business to give a reason for the quiet closing. A longstanding South Side sensation, Nakama blended entertainment and eating, receiving widespread acclaim from local news outlets and food critics. The restaurant offered a sushi bar, standard bar and hibachi tables where chefs would cook directly in front of guests. Nakama first opened in 2003, one of the earliest tableside Japanese steakhouses to open in the area before the trend would expand rapidly over the next decade. The restaurant also operated a location in Wexford, which closed last summer, as well as a food truck. It's unclear if the food truck is still in operation.
