Due to the expiration of their current contract, Aetna’s health insurance network no longer includes most Dignity Health facilities and providers in California. Despite ongoing negotiations for a new contract, the two parties have been unable to reach an agreement, leading to the removal of Dignity Health from Aetna’s network.
In response to this development, Dignity Health expressed its commitment to continue working in the best interest of patients in hopes of securing a new contract as soon as possible. The organization emphasized that its dedication to providing high-quality healthcare remains unchanged, despite the current situation.
Aetna stated that negotiating fair reimbursement rates is crucial to keeping member costs low while ensuring access to quality care. The company is actively engaged in negotiations with Dignity Health, aiming to reach a fair contract that benefits its members. For Aetna members affected by this change, the company advises them to contact the number on the back of their membership card for assistance with transitioning their care to an in-network provider. Aetna is committed to helping its members navigate this transition period and access the care they need during this time of change.
