ExxonMobil retirees suffer from Baton Rouge General-Aetna dispute

The ongoing dispute between Baton Rouge General and Aetna over reimbursement rates is causing difficulties for ExxonMobil retirees who are struggling to see their preferred doctors. The lack of a reimbursement contract between Aetna and Baton Rouge General has forced retirees to seek care elsewhere, disrupting critical care for patients who have long used the health system's doctors and providers. The situation has resulted in delays in treatment and potential negative outcomes, as seen in the case of a retiree who died due to insurance-induced setbacks. Roughly 5,000 patients have been impacted by the negotiations, and the union is urging Aetna patients to seek alternative plans that include Baton Rouge General.
