SCRANTON, Pa. – Geisinger Community Medical Center (GCMC) announced today a six-year agreement for Emergency Services PC to accept all insurances that are accepted at the hospital, including Geisinger Health Plan, Highmark and others. With this agreement, patients receiving emergency care at GCMC are assured that their insurance is accepted not only by the hospital, but also by the private medical group that staffs the GCMC emergency department.
The agreement went into effect on April 1, 2019.
“We are pleased to finalize a long-term contract that continues to pair Emergency Services PC, the premier emergency medicine group in Lackawanna County, with our team at Geisinger Community Medical Center,” said Anthony Aquilina, D.O. president of Geisinger Northeast. “ESPC is well known for providing great care, and it is wonderful news for our patients and community that ESPC will continue to partner with GCMC to provide that care well into the future.”
