Cigna Exits Colorado ACA Market, Forcing 40,853 People to Find 2027 Coverage

Summary
More than 40,000 Coloradans on Cigna individual plans will need a new insurer for 2027 after the company formally filed to leave Colorado’s individual market.
Cigna said the business was no longer viable because of limited scale, heavy operational demands and market instability; Colorado’s insurance commissioner tied the move to expiring enhanced federal subsidies.
The withdrawal covers plans sold on Connect for Health Colorado, HealthCare.gov and off-exchange individual policies, but 2026 coverage remains in force through year-end.
40,853 members in 12 Front Range counties and Routt County are affected in a market where more than 300,000 Coloradans buy coverage on their own; employer plans and Medicare Advantage are unchanged.
