Changes in Our Relationship with Aetna

Retinal Consultants of Arizona is committed to keeping our patients informed of any significant updates affecting their healthcare services. We wish to announce that we will no longer be in-network providers for Aetna Arizona starting from the end of this year. Our decision has been driven by the complexities and challenges experienced under the current contract terms, which no longer align with our goal of providing the highest quality of care. For those concerned about continued coverage, it’s important to review alternative insurance options that suit your needs.

Exploring New Insurance Options

Understanding that finding the right insurance plan can be daunting, especially for those who are not familiar with the intricacies of the U.S. healthcare system, we encourage our patients, including students from abroad, to investigate other available paths. For example, insurance tailored to cover international students provides comprehensive support tailored to their unique healthcare needs while residing in the United States. For extensive details on options specifically for university demographics, it’s advisable to check related resources on insurance for international students.

Next Steps for Affected Patients

We recommend that patients currently covered under an Aetna plan start planning for this transition. Individuals will need to contact their provider or visit www.aetna.com to explore alternative coverage options or ensure continuity of care. Retinal Consultants of Arizona remains dedicated to supporting our community through these changes, providing guidance and resources where possible to ensure a smooth transition.
