Remember the 3 year "primary vendor" agreement w/ Medpartners that Qdel announced in 12-96?? Guess what- Medpartners just got bigger - they announced today they were acquiring Aetna's physician-management unit - the WSJIA said M/P was acquiring Aetna's physician-practice mgmt unit, called Aetna Professional Management Corp., and most of its family medical centers ,called HealthWays Family Medical Centers - which are "separate medical facilities that house a variety of services under one roof in an effort to make medical care consumer-friendly".

The release also said that under a 10 year agreement, many of Aetna U.S. Healthcare's 14 million health members will be able to visit MedPartners affiliated physicians. This sound like more business for Qdel any way you look at it. Any comments???
