Lexington Clinic Named One of the Best Places to Work in Kentucky

This statewide survey and awards program, created in 2005, is a project of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Kentucky SHRM Council and Best Companies Group. The program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Kentucky, benefiting the state's economy, its workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Kentucky program is comprised of two categories, small/medium-sized companies (25-249 employees) and large-sized companies (250 employees or more). The 2010 winners list is made up of 32 companies from each category for a total of 64 companies. Lexington Clinic was named one of the 32 best places to work in the large-sized employer category.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
  • Have at least 25 employees working in Kentucky;
  • Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;
  • Be a publicly or privately held business;
  • Have a facility in the state of Kentucky; and
  • Must be in business a minimum of 1 year.
Organizations meeting the eligibility requirements were then evaluated in a two step process, the first part, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation, consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. The second part, worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation, consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

Lexington Clinic is pleased to have received this award, demonstrating our commitment to excellence for patients and employees alike.

Lexington Clinic is a private, primary and specialty-care physician group practice with 200 providers in 32 specialties working in locations throughout Central Kentucky. Lexington Clinic was founded in 1920 and operates offices in Lexington, Nicholasville, Richmond, Corbin, Georgetown and Mount Sterling.

Medical Group Management Association Recognizes Lexington Clinic

For the second consecutive year, Lexington Clinic has been recognized by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) as a Better Performer in the area of Profitability and Cost Management. This recognition is awarded to only a select group of physician practices who outperform specific expense management benchmarks including medical revenue after operating costs and operating costs per medical procedure. Lexington Clinic was one of only four physician practices in Kentucky to receive this recognition. Thank you to the entire staff of Lexington Clinic for helping us once again be among the best at controlling costs.

Lexington Clinic Will No Longer be Considered a Participating Provider With AETNA Healthcare

Lexington Clinic has been communicating with AETNA Healthcare since June of this year in an effort to mutually agree to contractual terms to participate in the AETNA Healthcare insurance plans. It recently became apparent that an agreement could not be reached, therefore Lexington Clinic notified AETNA on September 14, 2009 and again on November 30, 2009 that the existing agreement would not be renewed. Lexington Clinic realized that AETNA had not informed their enrollees of the contract termination notice submitted by Lexington Clinic; therefore Lexington Clinic felt we needed to inform our patients.

Unfortunately, Lexington Clinic will no longer be considered a participating provider with AETNA Healthcare effective February 1, 2010 for Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) services and effective June 1, 2010 for physician services.

Lexington Clinic representatives have worked diligently to reach a point of mutual agreement with AETNA. We regret that we have to make difficult decisions such as this to continue to allow Lexington Clinic to meet its mission of providing the highest quality medical service.

If you wish to continue your care at Lexington Clinic, please contact AETNA to discuss your out-of-network benefits, or other coverage options that may be available to you.

Should you need to change your doctor, the physicians and staff are committed to ensuring a smooth transition of your continuing care to your new provider. Your written consent is required for the release of your medical records; you may obtain the necessary form by calling the Release of Information Department at 859-258-4837.

We at Lexington Clinic appreciate the opportunity we have had to provide your medical care and hope to continue to see you in the future. If you have any questions, experience any difficulties with obtaining continued care, or you need a referral, please speak to our Nurse at 859-258-4DOC (4362).
