Spokespeople for both Aetna and BJC Health have reported that the two sides have agreed on “key terms” and “are working to finalize documentation for an uninterrupted contract renewal effective January 1, 2026, for Aetna’s commercial and Medicare Advantage plans.”

Members will be notified once agreements are finalized.
