Dear “TWU Member”,
Hospital participation status – you may be affected
We are writing to let you know that effective 06-01-2011, the hospital listed below will no longer participate in the Aetna network:
Claremore Regional Hospital
1202 North Muskogee Place
Claremore, OK 74017-3058
(918) 341-2566
What the change means for you
We will honor authorizations for covered services issued on your behalf for treatment scheduled at this hospital after the network termination date, provided that: (1) the hospital agrees to the same contractual terms and conditions that existed prior to termination, and (2) the authorization is still valid when the treatment occurs.
If your current primary care physician (PCP) and specialists admit patients to this hospital, you may be redirected to a different participating hospital for future care.
Contact us if you have questions
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. We appreciate your membership and are available to assist you at any time. Please call the Member Services telephone number listed on your Aetna member ID card with questions.
Sincerely,
Member Services
