AETNA set to reimburce student health fees
AETNA Student Health, which was previously named Chickering, will be distributing 567 reimbursement checks to current and former University of Louisville students.
The industry settlement totals to $59,747, which will be distributed to students covered under U of L’s university sponsored health plan from 2001-07. These students who had claims processed for out-of network services could possibly be eligible to these reimbursements.
“A patient insurance claim is considered to be ‘out-of-network’ when the physicians and/or hospitals submitting the bill to the insurance company do not participate with the patient’s insurance plan,” stated Phillip Bressoud, Executive Director of Campus Health Services, via e-mail.
According to Bressoud, AETNA/Chickering, along with other insurance carriers, was using Ingenix, an industry database, to determine out-of network reimbursements.
“Because the schedules were out of date, they indicated lower reimbursement rates than the students were entitled to. This resulted in under payments to students and some providers,” Bressoud stated.
Ingenix has been shut down and a new program has been created to ensure that this does not happen again, Bressoud explained.
Students will receive their reimbursement checks at their last known address.
