We are pleased to announce that a new agreement has been reached with Aetna. This allows Valley to continue to be an in-network provider for Aetna-insured patients and will cover services provided since previous contracts ended June 1, 2025. We understand how important it is for our patients to retain in-network access to the doctors, programs, and expert care teams they know and trust. Thank you for your patience throughout this process.
