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, but the parties being unable to come to an agreement on continuing those contracts is rare.
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.
