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.

Dave's Hot Chicken acquired by private equity firm that owns Subway Just eight years after starting in a Los Angeles parking lot, Dave's Hot Chicken has been acquired by private equity firm Roark Capital in a deal worth approximately $1 billion to enter its "next phase of growth and innovation." A spokesperson for Dave's Hot Chicken confirmed the acquisition to USA TODAY via email on Wednesday, June 4. Started by three childhood friends in a parking lot in Los Angeles in 2017, the chain primarily offers chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches and expects to end the year with over 400 locations worldwide. According to the company, it has sold the rights to more than 1,000 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East and Canada and will open 155-plus locations this year. 'This is one of the great entrepreneurial journeys of our time, and now we begin the next chapter in the story,' said Bill Phelps, Dave's Hot Chicken's CEO, in a news release. 'Our entire organization is excited about the fit between Dave's Hot Chicken and Roark, and we're looking forward to continuing to blow our guests' minds and unlocking growth and value for our franchise partners.' According to reporting from CNBC, Phelps, who previously led Wetzel's Pretzels for 25 years, joined Dave's in 2019, less than two years after its founding. Phelps told the business news outlet Dave's could reach up to 4,000 locations worldwide over the next 10 years. Dave's leadership team will remain in their roles, according to the news release, continuing to drive the company's "menu innovation, food quality, in-store experience, operations, marketing, branding, digital and more."
