OUR CURRENT CONTRACT WITH AETNA IS SET TO EXPIRE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR
We have been in ongoing negotiations with Aetna for several months with one goal – reach a new multiyear agreement that ensures Summa Health receives market-competitive reimbursement rates that allow us to cover the cost of the care we provide and uphold our commitment to provide you and your family with the very best care available. During this time, we have made several good faith offers to Aetna that are fair and equitable for both organizations.
We will continue to do everything possible to reach a new agreement. In the event Aetna does not allow us to do so, starting January 1, 2027, Aetna members will no longer be in-network at Summa Health facilities, Summa Health Medical Group locations (including urgent care), Medina Ambulatory Care Center services, and when receiving services through Summa Rehab Hospital.
Please know that nothing changes for you through the remainder of this year and Summa Health will continue to be here to provide support. The following options are available if you have any questions or concerns:
- Call us at 234.867.6236 to speak with a representative.
- Continue to visit this page, summahealth.org/Aetna for updates.
- If you have a Medicare Advantage, you may consider your options during either the current annual enrollment period or during the upcoming open enrollment period.
- If you have coverage under an employee health plan, speak to your employer to determine if other options are available to continue in-network coverage with Summa Health.
We are committed to doing everything possible to reach a new agreement and to avoid any changes that would disrupt your current healthcare coverage. We will provide additional information about our ongoing negotiations as it becomes available in the coming weeks.
