Health insurer Aetna and Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger Health System have signed a five-year contract that allows Aetna members to receive in-network access at all of Geisinger's facilities in Pennsylvania.
Under the agreement, those with commercial plans through Aetna or Coventry, which Aetna acquired in 2013, will receive in-network access to Geisinger's six acute care hospitals in Pennsylvania as well as Geisinger physician clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, skilled nursing facilities and ancillary home health and hospice services.
"We are pleased to finalize this agreement so people with Aetna and Coventry insurance coverage can receive in-network healthcare services throughout Geisinger Health System," said David Friel, vice president of third party contracting for Geisinger, in a news release.
