*What to know about UW Medicine and Aetna’s split*
"This post comes from the OIC's 'Commissioner's Eye on Insurance [ [link removed] ]' blog."
UW Medicine and Aetna were unable to reach a contract agreement for UW Medicine to remain an in-network provider covered by Aetna Medicare plans. *Negotiations between insurance companies and health care providers are fairly common* [ [link removed] ], but the parties being unable to come to an agreement on continuing those contracts is rare.
* The statement from Aetna [ [link removed] ]
* The statement from UW Medicine [ [link removed] ]
The contract ended on May 31, 2025. The two parties disagreed over payment rates; UW Medicine said Aetna wasn’t keeping up with rising costs, and Aetna said UW was asking for too much money.
