Portland-based Oregon Health & Science University and Aetna have averted a looming contract split.
The sides agreed to a new multiyear agreement that will keep Aetna beneficiaries in network across the health system, according to a Nov. 9 OHSU Health news release.
In October, OHSU Health sent a letter to 30,000 patients saying it would no longer participate in Aetna's network if the sides were unable to reach a new agreement before Jan. 1.
