As part of our ongoing effort to modernize and improve the benefits we offer, WGU will transition the university's retirement plans for U.S. employees to Empower, effective 10/1/2025. Learn more and see the FAQs here.
The Transparency in Coverage rules require certain group health plans to publicly disclose in-network provider rates, historical out-of-network allowed amounts, and billed charges for covered items and services as machine-readable files (MRFs). Find the Cigna MRFs here and the UHC MRFs here.
