SWANSEA – After hearing an agreement was formally finalized and adopted to maintain Medicare Advantage coverage for Illinois retirees through Aetna and BJC Healthcare, State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Swansea) released the following statement:
“Like many Metro East retirees, it brings me a great sigh of relief to hear that Aetna and BJC were able to work out a deal to continue to provide in-network services to members enrolled in the Total Retiree Advantage Illinois program. With this deal now in place, Illinois retirees have regained the peace of mind they deserve when it comes to their healthcare.
“I will keep close contact with Aetna, BJC Healthcare and Illinois CMS and be ready to assist in any way that will ensure Metro East residents have long-term reliable coverage.”
