Aetna Inc. announced the launch of its Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) program in New York. The program recognizes primary care physicians (PCPs) who more actively coordinate and manage their patients' care across the health care system. By strengthening the role of PCPs, the PCMH program aims to improve patient health outcomes. Primary care providers who participate in Aetna's networks, who have been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a PCMH, and who are not participating in other quality incentive programs with Aetna were considered for the PCMH program in New York. Recognized providers will receive a quarterly Coordination of Care payment for each commercial (non-Medicare) Aetna member in their care. The NCQA-recognized PCMH practices are recognized for providing a number of services, including: Improved access to care, such as the ability to reach health professionals outside normal business hours; Proactive and planned preventive care (screenings, physicals, labs); Improved access through e-mail, web or telephone visits; and Access to nurses and other health care professionals, allowing more focused physician visits.

The board of directors of Aetna Inc. declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on the company's common stock. The dividend is payable on July 26, 2013, to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 11, 2013.
