North Miami council selects Cigna for 2026 employee health, dental and vision plan

The North Miami City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to select Cigna Healthcare as the city’s provider for employee health, dental and vision coverage for the 2026 plan year.

Councilwoman Estesmay Irvin made the motion to approve the resolution selecting Cigna; the clerk recorded a 5–0 vote to adopt the action and authorize the city manager to execute all necessary documents. The council opened and closed a public hearing on the item with no public comment.

The resolution names Cigna Healthcare as the carrier for the coming plan year and delegates execution of contract documents to the city manager. The motion and vote were recorded during the council’s consent agenda and were described by the clerk as a routine, self-explanatory action expected to move without additional review.

The council did not discuss plan costs or benefit design during the meeting; those details were not specified in the public record of this session. Next steps are administrative — the city manager’s office will complete required contracting and implementation steps under the approved resolution within usual procurement processes.
