Aetna to cover VitalConnect's heart monitoring devices

Aetna will provide coverage to members using wearable heart monitoring devices distributed by medical technology company VitalConnect, a July 20 news release said.

The company's four-part cardiac monitoring system includes its VitalPatch, a wireless, disposable biosensor used to monitor cardiac arrhythmias. VitalConnect has provided 100,000 patches worldwide, according to the statement.

"The recognition of the VitalConnect solution by one of the largest health care benefit companies in the country is a tremendous plus for patients needing cardiac monitoring," CEO Peter Van Haur said.
