Aetna, a diversified healthcare benefits company, announced that
it is the first national health plan to sign a participating
provider agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
The agreement is for current Aetna members who also are enrolled
and receiving healthcare services from the VA. Healthcare providers
participating with the VA are now recognized as in-network
participating providers for all health plans administered by Aetna.
The agreement includes employed and contracted physicians,
including dental and behavioral health providers, in the United
States and Puerto Rico.
