Under the agreement, members of Aetna network-based plans will be able to receive covered in-patient and out-patient services, at in-network rates, from the Indian River Medical Center, which operates a 335-bed hospital in Vero Beach.
Ruth Fricke, Aetna’s head of network operations in Florida, said: “The addition of Indian River Medical Center significantly expands Aetna’s hospital access in the Vero Beach area. We’re hopeful it will enhance our efforts to attract new customers and retain existing ones.”
