Aetna Stands By Ailing Vendor, For Now (Connecticut)
Hartford Courant story - "Aetna says it's confident the ailing Magellan Health Services Inc. can properly manage mental health services for its members - but isn't saying yet how long it might keep Magellan as a vendor. Aetna has a contract with Maryland-based Magellan through 2003 that covers most of its 14.4 million members. But Aetna has said it's rethinking its strategy on how to provide behavioral health care. Magellan is the nation's largest managed care company specializing in behavioral health, with contracts covering roughly 68 million people. Magellan, which has warned it may breach terms of bank loans, was downgraded by rating agencies last week. Also, trading of its stock was suspended by the New York Stock Exchange, which is moving to delist the company."
