Aetna HMOs

How HMOs Work

You pay the plan premium from your paycheck to have coverage.

icon

Copay

You pay a small fee at the time of service for doctor visits and prescriptions.

icon

Coinsurance

You and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the plan paying the majority.

icon

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

Designating Your PCP

You are required to designate a primary care provider (PCP) upon enrollment in Employee Central. You must click here to find your doctor. Do not use another site.

A PCP is critical to your health, providing preventive care, regular checkups, treatment for illness and injury, and help with managing chronic conditions.

Please note that each plan has a different network of doctors. This will impact the plan that you enroll in. If you cannot find your doctor in one plan, try searching under another plan.

Prescription Drugs

Prescriptions

The cost of your prescription drugs under each medical plan depends on the tier of the medication — generic, preferred, or non-preferred. All prescription carriers have a list of preferred drugs based on effectiveness and cost. Check Aetna’s website for a list of covered drugs.

icon 

Generic drugs

Same active ingredients as brand-name equivalents and meet the same standards for quality and effectiveness, but usually cost much less.

You pay: $

icon 

Preferred Drugs

Brand-name medications included on the formulary and favored by your prescription carrier.

You pay: $$

icon 

Non-Preferred drugs

Brand-name medications not preferred by your carrier. They may still be covered, but may require prior authorization and cost more.

You pay: $$$

Save Money on Your Prescriptions!

The cost of prescription drugs is rising faster than many other health care services and supplies. But, there are ways for you to save.

image
Ask your doctor about generic medications.

Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, but they typically cost between 80% and 85% less.

Use the home delivery feature.

If you take maintenance medication to treat a chronic condition — such as an allergy, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes — the convenience and cost savings of the home delivery prescription program through Aetna will save you time and money.

Why Use Home Delivery?
  • Prescriptions are shipped to you for free — no waiting in line at the pharmacy.
  • You save money with a reduced cost for a three-month supply.
  • You can set up automatic refills.
 

Money-Saving Tips

When you carefully consider the financial impact of your health care choices, you can help lower costs for yourself and the entire company. Get the most from your medical benefits by following these tips to be well and buy smart:

  1. Use in-network providers. They’ve agreed to charge only up to negotiated rates and bill your insurance company directly, which saves you money and time. Also, check with your insurance company to ensure that a service is covered before you receive care. If you’re enrolling in an HMO plan (if available in your area), the plan only pays benefits for care received in network.
  2. Keep up with preventive care. It’s covered in full by all of our medical plans and can help detect and prevent potentially costly health issues early. You pay nothing for annual physicals, recommended immunizations, routine cancer screenings, and more when you see in-network providers.
  3. Use tax-free money to pay for eligible health expenses. Contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) and/or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is easy and saves you money. You can set aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to use for your out-of-pocket costs. Keep in mind that with an HSA, you can only spend contributions that have actually been deposited into your account. And with an FSA, you can only carry over up to $640 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you must “use it or lose it.”
  4. Shop smart for prescriptions. Using generic alternatives will almost always save you money — and they’re just as effective as brand-name prescriptions. Also, try calling a few local pharmacies to compare prices before deciding where to fill a prescription. For your ongoing prescriptions, use the home-delivery service to save money and time.
  5. Take advantage of the SCAN wellness program. It offers valuable resources to help you improve your health, which could prevent the need for costly care. Plus, you’ll earn rewards when you participate in wellness activities!
  6. Use your medical plan’s website. Log in to the Aetna website to see how much of your deductible you’ve met, review claims, find in-network providers, use helpful cost-estimating tools, and more.
  7. Choose the right place to get care. Facilities charge different amounts for the same services, so think about your options when you or a family member needs medical attention. Use the guide below to help you save money and choose the most appropriate care for your situation.
