      • Health care professionals in states which regulate a patient compensation fund for insurance coverage, or which regulate the amount of insurance a health care professional must carry, should meet at least the state's requirement if they do not meet Cigna Behavioral Health's minimum requirements.

    Health care professionals with federal tort coverage (Federal Tort Coverage Act) do not have to meet Cigna Behavioral Health's minimum insurance requirements. For these health care professionals, a copy of the federal tort letter or an attestation from the health care professional stating that he or she has federal tort coverage must be included in the credentialing file.
