CTCA, Aetna sign agreement to expand care

Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) Atlanta has signed a three-year agreement with Aetna, making it a contracted provider. Many Aetna commercial members now can select CTCA Atlanta as an in-network facility for their cancer care.

“Our new agreement with Aetna in Georgia reflects CTCA’s dedication to provide greater patient access to our exceptional physicians, high quality services and value-based, patient-centered cancer care,” says newly appointed CTCA President and CEO, Pat A. Basu, MD, MBA. “We thank Aetna for their partnership, and we look forward to growing this relationship nationwide.”

This agreement adds to contracts already in place with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia and Cigna and allows CTCA to expand its footprint of in-network care delivery to patients and families in need of expert cancer care.
