BJC Health and health insurer Aetna have yet to reach coverage agreements for the upcoming year, leaving St. Louis-area patients in limbo.
Without a new agreement, BJC Health will be out of Aetna’s coverage network employer-sponsored commercial plans beginning on January 1.
The ongoing talks affect patients in BJC’s eastern region, as well as BJC’s facilities in western Missouri operating as St. Luke’s Health System. That system is not connected to St. Luke’s Hospital in the St. Louis area.
