Centers of Excellence (COE)
Aetna has designated certain health care facilities within their provider network as Centers of Excellence, or simply COE Facilities. COE Facilities have been identified as delivering high quality services and superior outcomes for specific procedures or conditions. This means improved outcomes and reduced cost, which includes delivering surgery and post-operative care more efficiently and with lower risk of complications and readmissions. Get the quality of care you and your family deserve!
