Aetna (NYSE: ΑET) announced today that it has signed a three-year
agreement with Grove City Medical Center, expanding network access for
its members in Western Pennsylvania’s Mercer County.
“Aetna is very excited to announce this new agreement with Grove City
Medical Center”
Under this new agreement, which takes effect Feb. 15, Aetna members will
be able to receive covered services, at in-network rates, from Grove
City Medical Center.
"Aetna is very excited to announce this new agreement with Grove City
Medical Center,” said Antonia Gaetano, Aetna’s vice president of network
management for Western Pennsylvania. “Grove City Medical Center plays an
important role in delivering inpatient and outpatient services to
residents of the community, and we’re delighted to offer in-network
access to their facilities for our members.”
"We are pleased to become part of Aetna's network. This new relationship
will allow us to provide health and medical services to those in our
community who are insured by Aetna, who previously had to travel away
from home to seek care elsewhere," said David Poland, chief financial
officer for Grove City Medical Center.
Aetna provides health benefits to more than 1 million people in
Pennsylvania. In Western Pennsylvania, members have access to a network
that includes 75 contracted hospitals and more than 8,500 primary care
physicians and specialists.
Grove City Medical Center provides community-based health and medical
services to patients through its full service hospital, a rural health
clinic and five outpatient centers located across three western
Pennsylvania counties.
