Loyola Medicine and Aetna have reached a new multi-year national agreement, which means the Loyola Medicine hospitals, facilities and providers will remain in Aetna’s network. The new agreement is effective January 1, 2022, and since an agreement was reached before the contract’s termination date, there has been no interruption to access or coverage to the University’s medical plan coverage with Aetna for any medical care at LUMC. You and your family should continue to see Loyola Medicine doctors and seek care as needed at LUMC facilities as you normally would. READ MORE -
Loyola’s Medical Plan to cover at-home COVID-19 Tests
On January 10, 2022, the U.S. Department of Labor released guidance to implement President Joe Biden's order that, starting January 15, health plans must cover or reimburse costs for over-the-counter (OTC) at-home rapid COVID-19 tests without requiring health plan participants to pay any of the cost. Once this information becomes available, we will communicate with Loyola medical plan participants about where (stores, pharmacies, and online retailers) you can go to purchase at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free. Until this information is available, we encourage all medical plan participants to keep their receipts for any OTC at-home COVID-19 tests purchased, so you can submit a claim for reimbursement. -
