New Aetna, UHC Contracts Create Openings for Labs

“Payers have always had gaps in their coverage for clinical lab services,” Stonecypher said. “Even when Quest and LabCorp had their previous contracts with UHC and Aetna, there were gaps. So, there also will be gaps in patient access after these contracts become effective on Jan. 1.

“Each one of those gaps is an opportunity for a regional laboratory because Quest, LabCorp, UHC, and Aetna are going to need to backfill those gaps in their coverage,” he added.
