Aetna and Oak Street Health want to help Medicare patients

Primary care for Medicare patients shouldn’t be so difficult right? That’s what Aetna and Oak Street Health think. The two are teaming up to improve care for said patient population in Illinois. Through their partnership, Chicago-based Oak Street will be able to see Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO and HMO patients. Currently, the agreement only applies to those living in Illinois. Founded in 2012 by three former members of the healthcare practice at The Boston Consulting Group, Oak Street operates 24 primary care clinics throughout Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Thirteen of them are in Illinois.
