NewYork-Presbyterian has accused Aetna of presenting unreasonable offers, but remains hopeful that the payer will “continue to engage in good faith negotiations” to reach a new deal, according to the report.
Aetna alleged that the sides are “far apart on terms” because the system “is demanding significant increases in reimbursement rates that are unsustainable and will materially raise costs,” according to the report. It said it remains committed to negotiating in good faith for a fair contract.
