Piedmont Healthcare and Aetna Secure New Contract

Piedmont Healthcare and Aetna have finalized a new contract, which will ensure patients’ continued in-network access to all Piedmont Healthcare facilities into 2019.

The agreement, which now includes Piedmont Newton Hospital and Piedmont Transplant Institute, is one of several contracts to come to fruition in recent weeks, safeguarding coverage for members and ensuring access to Piedmont’s facilities and physicians.

“By partnering with Aetna on this agreement, our patients and their family members win,” said Kevin Brown, president and CEO of Piedmont Healthcare. “Not only will they be able to maintain their relationships with the Piedmont physicians they know and trust, they can rest assured knowing they have access to high-quality care.”

“Our renewed partnership is a testament to the strong, longstanding relationship we have with Piedmont Healthcare,” said Angela Meoli, Aetna market president, Georgia. “We have worked together for many years in support of a common cause: ensuring access to high-quality care and improving health for members of the Greater Atlanta community.”
