Vero Beach, Fla.-based Indian River Medical Center and Hartford, Conn.-based Aetna may end their contract if negotiations between the parties fail, according to a TCPalm report.
Jeffrey Susi, president and CEO of IRMC, said Monday the medical center "is doing everything possible to reach an agreement with Aetna before May 23," when the original contract expires.
IRMC said in a statement to TCPalm if a new contract is not inked, Aetna policyholders in mid-treatment at the medical center will retain in-network status beyond May 23.
