Dignity Health and Aetna have successfully negotiated a new contract that ensures Aetna members in California, Arizona, and Nevada continue to have in-network access to Dignity’s services, facilities, and providers. The agreement was reached after Dignity Health facilities and providers were initially dropped from Aetna’s health insurance network in early April due to failed negotiations.
The new multi-year contract went into effect on April 1, covering any Aetna members who have received services from Dignity since that date. Both parties expressed their commitment to providing quality, convenient, and affordable care to members. Dignity Health’s president stated that the agreement is a win for patients who deserve access to high-quality care.
Aetna’s vice president and chief network officer for the Western and South Central region emphasized their dedication to meeting the healthcare needs of their members through their network of providers. Members who have any questions about their coverage are advised to reach out to the number listed on their insurance card for assistance.
