Aetna fined for denying ER claims in California

Becker's Hospital Review
Aetna Health of California must stop using national standards to deny payment for emergency room claims, the California Department of Managed Health Care ordered Aug. 25. The department said the practice has led to Aetna wrongfully denying ER claims because California's broader standards on ER services aren't being applied. Aetna faces a $500,000 fine for repeatedly not following California law and failing to implement improvements.
