MDH Announces Update with Aetna Insurance

McDonough District Hospital agreed to and signed an insurance contract with Aetna insurance HMO and OAP plans. The agreement goes into effect June 1, 2025.

Many state of Illinois employees (along with others who had Health Alliance insurance and need to find a different insurance plan) can choose the Aetna HMO plan and use all McDonough District Hospital services and see all MDH providers in-network.

Earlier this year, MDH announced that patients with Aetna Medicare Advantage can use all McDonough District Hospital services and see all MDH providers as in-network.

“This partnership with MDH and Aetna is exciting news for those who are searching for a new HMO insurance plan. We reached this favorable agreement with Aetna through a lot of hard work and negotiations. I want to thank everyone involved with the process, especially Gary McCright, for helping this come to fruition,” said Vice President of Business Strategy Patrick Osterman. “Starting June 1, patients with Aetna HMO can utilize services at MDH and be considered in-network coverage.”
