Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) is pleased to announce that they have reached a tentative agreement with Illinois Aetna and will not terminate on July 1, 2024.

HSHS will notify patients that HSHS remains an in-network provider and Aetna members can continue to receive care with us and any appointments that had been paused can be scheduled at all HSHS facilities in Illinois. This agreement includes nine HSHS Illinois hospitals, Prairie Cardiovascular and HSHS Medical Group clinics.

If patients have further questions regarding upcoming appointments, they can contact their provider’s office. Any additional insurance questions can be directed to HSHS Patient Financial Services at 1-833-464-1778 or via email at PFS@hshs.org.

HSHS is committed to providing patients with the highest quality care that is easy to access and affordable. HSHS says they are working with many insurance and managed care companies and are continuing to align the payments they receive with the quality of care they provide for their patients.

HSHS says these types of negotiations can be complex and often create uncertainty for patients and providers. HSHS says they are committed to providing high-quality care for the residents of Illinois, and they appreciate their patients, colleagues and provider partners’ support and patience during this process.

They are committed to providing high-quality care for residents in Illinois and are grateful for the

opportunity to continue to serve Aetna members.
