News Releases

AUSTIN, Texas, July 28, 2009 — Aetna (NYSE:AET) today announced the addition of WhiteGlove House Call Health, Inc., to its provider network in Austin. The agreement, effective immediately, will give Aetna’s members in Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties access to routine medical care in their homes or at work.

WhiteGlove’s licensed nurse practitioners and physicians will be able to diagnose and treat minor ailments such as flu, colds, infections, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, and suture minor cuts in the home or office between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., seven days a week. Additionally, members will receive most of the generic medications prescribed during the visit and a well-kit of foods, beverages and over-the-counter remedies—all for only the cost of a member’s specialist co-pay, co-insurance or deductible.

“We are pleased to add WhiteGlove to our provider network,” said Carl King, president of Health Care Delivery for Aetna’s Southwest region. “For routine care, the WhiteGlove service offers another quality option for our members when they are unable to visit their primary care physician. Aetna continues to look for innovative solutions that are focused on improving our members’ health care experience.”

Through WhiteGlove’s secured website, members will be able to request a visit by one of the medical professionals, fill out medical history and insurance forms, and view their treatment records processed through WhiteGlove.

“At WhiteGlove, we are passionate about changing healthcare on a national level by bringing a health care solution to the market that improves the access to affordable health care while delivering an exceptional health care experience to the consumer,” said Bob Fabbio, WhiteGlove’s founder, president and chief executive officer.  “We are very excited that Aetna shares our passion for finding ways to improving the consumer experience to their members in Austin.”

In addition to Austin, WhiteGlove’s services will be available to Aetna’s members in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and San Antonio, and will be expanding soon to Houston.
