Important Updates for Aetna Insurance Patients
Effective August 15, 2026, PearceMD will no longer be in-network with any Aetna insurance plans. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and want to make sure you have all the information you need. Please read below to understand your options and your rights.
Why We Made This Change
After careful consideration, PearceMD has made the difficult decision to discontinue participation with Aetna due to increasing administrative burdens and reimbursement limitations that no longer allow us to sustainably provide the level of personalized, unhurried care our patients deserve.
This was not a decision we made lightly.
Our commitment to you has not changed — only the insurance arrangement has.
