Your June 2020 newsletter is here!

To our doctors, nurses, clinicians and health care workers,

 

You make a difference every day but especially today. Your tireless commitment and dedication to your patients and communities during this unprecedented time is admirable and inspiring. On behalf of a grateful nation, we want you to know that we are thankful for YOU.

We continue to be here to support you. Some of the efforts include strongly supporting the CARES Act stabilization package and our recently announced mental and emotional wellbeing initiatives to help flatten the 'second curve' of the pandemic. For more information on our programs, resources and counseling services designed to address your needs during this unprecedented and difficult time just visit cvshealth.com/secondcurve.

To make sure you stay in the know, we update frequently our FAQs and COVID-19 dedicated resource page on Aetna.com. There, you'll find the most current information on how to support your patients through telemedicine, get answers to billing and coding questions, help you manage patient care, obtain financial guidance and more.

Time is running out to register for our new provider portal on Availity. If you have not started the registration process for your organization, start now to make sure you're ready for our move before May 31, 2020. Our sole provider portal for Aetna tools and resources is now Availity. Visit Availity.com/AetnaProviders to register and learn more. If you're already registered on Availity, start transacting for Aetna today!
 

 

With kind regards,
Aurelie C. Steere
