Genesis reaches deals with Aetna, CareSource after dispute over denied claims
ZANESVILLE – Genesis HealthCare System has reached new agreements with two health insurance providers, CareSource and Aetna. They come nearly two months after Genesis announced that 9,000 denied and disputed claims from four providers and millions of dollars in losses had weighed on future contracts. CareSource Medicaid, Next Generation MyCare Ohio Plan and Aetna Medicare Advantage members will now maintain in-network access to Genesis through 2027 under the new deals, according to a release from Genesis HealthCare System. Genesis previously said it would end contracts for Medicare Advantage plans under Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Medical Mutual of Ohio and Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans under CareSource on Jan. 1, unless new agreements were reached. Genesis anticipates releasing another announcement on the other insurance plans in the near future. Existing coverage for the remaining plans will remain unaffected through Dec. 31. If no agreements are reached, then those insurance plans would become out-of-network for nonemergency care at Genesis on Jan. 1. Emergency care will remain covered at in-network rates regardless of contract status, Genesis previously said. More: Genesis says 9,000 denied claims could mean dropping four insurers' contracts It was necessary to address the rising coverage denials and payment disputes, Genesis announced
