Some families are waiting months for doctors appointments after Aetna and Phoenix Childrens Hospital did not renew their coverage agreement in August.
Two months after their last contract expired, Aetna and Phoenix Children's Hospital have reached a new deal to keep providing in-network coverage for patients.PHOENIX — Phoenix Children's Hospital and Aetna have reached a new contract to keep providing in-network coverage for patients after families were left wondering whether they'd have to pay more for crucial health care.
The two parties had been unable to reach a new coverage agreement before the last contract expired, which resulted in many Valley parents worrying whether they'd have to seek important care at other hospitals for their children. “Phoenix Children’s has a duty to our growing community to ensure payer agreements address the often-complex medical needs of kids and support the exceptional care we provide as Arizona’s only pediatric health system," said Phoenix Children's CEO Robert L. Meyer."We are proud to reach such an agreement with Aetna and to remain an in-network health system for Aetna members.”
