Business Wire
Aetna (NYSE: AET), is opening an office and hiring employees in
anticipation of an upcoming Jan. 1 launch date for MajestaCare, a
new managed care Medicaid program, offered by Carilion Clinic and
administered by Aetna.
Carilion announced last March that it was collaborating with
Aetna to offer a variety of benefits programs, including commercial
products, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid.
The plan will lease space from Carilion Clinic at 213 South
Jefferson Street, Roanoke, beginning in mid-November. Initially,
the plan will employ 25 employees with planned growth to 50 in the
coming year.
MajestaCare will work with providers to assure its Medicaid
members have access to quality health care throughout western
Virginia. MajestaCare’s members will benefit both from Carilion
Clinic’s understanding of the unique needs of the people of western
Virginia and Aetna’s Medicaid managed care experience.
“We are looking forward to putting our shared vision to work for
Virginians,” said Robert Tremain, market head for Aetna Medicaid in
Virginia. “Aetna’s Medicaid segment helped to develop the nation’s
first managed Medicaid care plan 25 years ago, and Carilion has
been serving southwest Virginia for more than 100 years. We are
both dedicated to the same mission—providing quality health care
for Virginia’s Medicaid members. We are also very excited about
being part of a growing and vibrant downtown Roanoke, the center
for banking insurance and healthcare in the region.”
