Hospital Nashville and Clarksville, Tennessee
Vanderbilt Health: check your insurance network
The short answer
Vanderbilt's coverage depends on your exact plan and location. Vanderbilt says most of its locations leave the Aetna Medicare Advantage network on January 1, 2027, with a Clarksville exception. Individual Marketplace and employer coverage must be checked separately.

A licensed agent calls you at no cost.
Not a guarantee. What follows is what the listed sources said on the date checked. Networks change, and one carrier can sell plans with very different networks. Verify your exact plan, each doctor, the facility and your date of service before you get care.
1. Marketplace (ACA) plans
Individual and Marketplace plans
Vanderbilt identifies BlueCross BlueShield Networks P and S for individual coverage on and off the exchange, while excluding Networks L and E for Vanderbilt University Medical Center and its affiliates. Facility-specific contracts can differ; the information is not a guarantee for a particular 2027 plan.
BlueCross BlueShield Networks P and S
Vanderbilt lists these individual networks on and off the exchange. Confirm your exact plan, facility and doctors for the year you need care.
BlueCross BlueShield Networks L and E
Vanderbilt lists these as excluded for VUMC and its affiliates. Check the particular facility and plan because location-specific arrangements can differ.

2. Employer plans
Coverage through an employer
Employer-sponsored commercial coverage is not the same as Medicare Advantage. Vanderbilt says it may not participate in every product offered by a carrier, so check the employer plan's full name and network for each facility and physician.
Aetna commercial employer plans
The Aetna Medicare Advantage change below does not, by itself, establish the status of an Aetna commercial employer plan. Ask Aetna and your Vanderbilt location about your specific plan.

Medicare Advantage and the 2027 Aetna change
Vanderbilt says its Aetna Medicare Advantage change begins January 1, 2027 and affects individual and group Medicare Advantage plans. It does not mean that Aetna's plans are ending.
Aetna Medicare Advantage
Vanderbilt says its facilities and affiliates leave the network on January 1, 2027, except Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital and Clarksville Physician Services. Confirm the exact provider, plan and service date.

Before you count on it
Check these with the plan, in writing if you can, for the date you expect care.
- 1Find the full plan name, network name and member services number on your card or plan documents.
- 2Ask the insurer whether the specific hospital location, doctor and services are in network on the date you need care. Ask about referrals, prior authorization and your share of the cost.
- 3Ask the hospital or doctor's office to confirm using the same plan and network information. Write down who you spoke with and when.
- Confirm the exact plan name, each doctor, the facility and the date of service. A listing here is not a guarantee.
