We help you get medically necessary health care services in the most cost-effective way under your health plan. And we work with you and doctors to evaluate services for medical appropriateness, timeliness and cost. 

 

Specifically, we: 
 

  • Base our decisions on appropriateness of care, service and plan coverage 

  • Use nationally recognized guidelines and resources to make changes 

  • Don’t pay or reward providers, employees or others for denying coverage or care 

  • Focus on reviewing the risks of members who aren’t fully using certain services

Doctors and health care companies continuously develop new technologies. This can include anything from a new procedure to a new way to use a device.

 

When we learn about a new technology, we:
 

  • Carefully review the latest information and ask experts for their opinions

  • Compare the information with well-known standards

  • Base all of our decisions on making sure you have the right care and services

If you’re enrolled in an Aetna Medicare PPO plan: 

 

PPO plans have a network of doctors and hospitals for you to get care. You can go out of the network for care, but it usually costs you more.     

If you’re enrolled in an Aetna Medicare plan (PPO) with Extended Service Area (ESA): 

 

A PPO plan with an extended service area (ESA) gives you the flexibility to see any provider, in or out of network, at the same cost, according to the costs listed on your plan benefits summary. They just have to be licensed, eligible to receive Medicare payments and willing to accept your plan. 

With a PPO plan with ESA, you have the option to choose a primary care physician. But when we know who your doctor is, we can better support your care.  

View our network of doctors and providers

 

Please call us or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost share for out‐of‐network services.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services periodically issues National Coverage Determinations. They issue these when a service’s or drug’s coverage rules change.
