Aetna is dropping reimbursement for pathology services to approximately 70% of Medicare rates for its Market Fee Schedule (AMFS), effective September 1, 2014.

The AMFS is Aetna's out-of-network rates, but according to the Aetna website, it is also the starting point for contract negotiations with its in-network doctors.
