Aetna - CHI Health
by Tara Johnson 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

SLEBC Insured - I wanted to send a quick note as SLEBC has been notified that CHI has officially opted to not renew their contract with Aetna. This is still an ongoing situation and with many similar situations, we have seen agreements reached after the 'deadline'. We will continue to provide updates as received on the status. Meritain has provided a list of providers who have opted to negotiate directly with CHI linked below. Members who are impacted by this negotiation should have already received notification from CHI regarding the potential to be OON.

If you would like to look up in-network providers, use the Aetna Open Choice PPO network option here<https://www.aetna.com/dsepublic/#/contentPage?page=providerSearchLanding&si…>.

We are thankful that we do not have any major plan design changes to our medical, dental or vision plans.
