Plan Name Product Description PCP Required Referrals Required Network Health
Network Only
A health maintenance organization (HMO) uses a network of participating providers. Each family member may select a primary care physician (PCP) participating in the Aetna network to provide routine and preventive care and help coordinate the member’s total health care. Members never need a referral when visiting a participating specialist for covered services. Only services rendered by a participating provider are covered, except for emergency or urgently needed care.
Yes/ Optional No Aetna Health Network OnlySM (Open Access) Health Network Option
Health Network Option is a two-tiered product that allows members to access care in or out of network. Members have lower out-of-pocket costs when they use the in-network tier of the plan. Member cost sharing increases if members decide to go out of network. Members may go to their PCP or directly to a participating specialist without a referral. It is their choice, each time they seek care.
Yes/ Optional No Aetna Health Network OptionSM (Open Access)
PPO PPO plan members can access any recognized provider for covered services without a referral. Each time members seek health care, they have the freedom to choose either network providers at lower out-of-pocket costs, or non-network providers at higher out-of-pocket costs.
No No Open

PPO
Indemnity The indemnity plan option is available for employees who live outside the plan’s network service area. Members coordinate their own health care and may access any recognized provider for covered services without a referral.

Overview
Aetna High Deductible plans (HSA-Compatible)
These insurance plan options are compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA). They provide employers and their qualified employees with an affordable tax-advantaged solution that allows them to better manage their qualified medical and dental expenses.
• Employees can build a savings fund to help cover their future medical and dental expenses. HSA accounts can be funded by the employer or employee and are portable.
• Fund contributions may be tax deductible (limits apply). • When funds are used to cover qualified out-of-pocket medical
and dental expenses, they are not taxed.
Group Situs
Medical and dental benefits and rates are based on the group’s headquarters location, subject to applicable state laws. Eligible employees who live or work in CT, DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA and VA (the situs region) will receive the same rates and benefits as the headquarters location.
Multi State Solution
We offer a multi state solution to make it easier for businesses like yours to do business with us. We believe it brings more
consistency across medical benefits offerings to employers with employees in multiple locations.
Employers based in Washington, DC can offer DC PPO plans to their employees who live and work outside of the “situs” region. The situs region comprises of the following eight states - CT, DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA and VA.
The rates and benefits will match those offered in Washington, DC If the out-of-situs employee lives in a non-network area, the employee will be enrolled in an indemnity plan. Plan sponsors will need to continue to meet underwriting guidelines, subject to all applicable state laws.

No Cost Health Incentive Credit
†Members can earn $50 in just a few simple steps
Members earn a $50 credit toward their out-of-pocket expenses when they:
• Complete or update their Health Assessment on Simple Steps To A Healthier Life, and
• Complete one online wellness program
If the employee’s spouse is covered under the plan, he or she is also eligible for the same incentive credit. So a family could save $100 in out-of-pocket expenses each year. Incentive rewards will be credited toward the deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limit. This program is included at no additional cost on all plans, except Health Network Only plans 1.4 - 2.4 and all HSA-compatible plans.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
No set-up or administrative fees
The Aetna HealthFund® HSA, when coupled with an
HSA-compatible high-deductible health benefits and health insurance plan, is a tax-advantaged savings account. Once enrolled, account contributions can be made by the employee and/or employer. The HSA can be used to pay for qualified expenses tax free.
Member’s HSA plan
• You own your HSA • Contribute tax free
• You choose how and when to use your dollars • Roll it over each year and let it grow
• Earns interest, tax free
Today
• Use for qualified expenses with tax-free dollars
Future
• Plan for future and retiree health-related costs
High-deductible health plan
• Eligible in-network preventive care services will not be subject to the deductible
• You pay 100% until deductible is met, then only pay a share of the cost
• Meet out-of-pocket maximum, then plan pays 100%
* Nondiscrimination testing provided annually after open enrollment for POP and FSA only. Additional off-cycle testing available at employer request for $100 fee. Nondiscrimination testing only available for FSA and POP products.
**Aetna FSA pricing is inclusive for POP. Debit cards are available for FSA only. Contact Aetna for further information.
*** For HRA, if the employer opts out of Streamline, the fee is increased $1.50 per participant. For FSA, the debit card is available for an additional $1 per participant per month. Mailing reimbursement checks direct to employee homes is an additional $1 per participant per month.
†Not applicable to HSA-compatible plans.
Aetna HealthFund HRAs are subject to employer-defined use and forfeiture rules, and are unfunded liabilities of the employer. Fund balances are not vested benefits. Health information programs provide general health information and are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a physician or other health care professional. Information subject to change.
Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)
The Aetna HealthFund HRA combines the protection of a deductible-based health plan with a health fund that pays for eligible health care services. The member cannot contribute to the HRA, and employers have control over HRA plan designs and fund rollover. The fund is available to an employee for qualified expenses on the plan’s effective date.
The HRA and the HSA provide members with financial support for higher out-of-pocket health care expenses. Aetna’s
consumer-directed health products and services give members the information and resources they need to help make informed health care decisions for themselves and their families while helping lower employers’ costs.
COBRA administration
Aetna COBRA administration offers a full range of notification, documentation and record-keeping processes that can help employers manage the complex billing and notification processes required for COBRA compliance, while also helping to save them time and money.
Section 125 Cafeteria Plans and Section 132 Transit
Reimbursement Accounts
Employees can reduce their taxable income, and employers can pay less in payroll taxes. There are three ways to save:
Premium-Only plans (POP)
Employees can pay for their portion of the group health insurance expenses on a pretax basis.
Flexible Savings Account (FSA)
FSAs give employees a chance to save for health expenses with pretax money. Health care spending accounts allow employees to set aside pretax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket expenses as defined by the IRS. Dependent care spending accounts allow participants to use pretax dollars to pay child or elder care expenses.

information, refer to the specific plan design summary.
◊ Generic formulary contraceptives are covered without member
cost-share (for example, no copayment). Certain religious organizations or religious employers may be exempt from offering contraceptive services.
1Health Network Option and PPO plans:
We cover the cost of services based on whether doctors are “in network” or “out of network.” We want to help you understand how much Aetna pays for your out-of-network care. At the same time, we want to make it clear how much more you will need to pay for this “out-of-network” care. You may choose a provider (doctor or hospital) in our network. You may choose to visit an out-of-network provider. If you choose a doctor who is out of network, your Aetna health plan may pay some of that doctor’s bill. Most of the time, you will pay a lot more money out of your own pocket if you choose to use an out-of-network doctor or hospital.
When you choose out-of-network care, Aetna limits the amount it will pay. This limit is called the “recognized” or “allowed” amount. When you choose out-of-network care, Aetna “recognizes” an amount based on what Medicare pays for these services. The government sets the Medicare rate. Your doctor sets his or her own rate to charge you. It may be higher – sometimes much higher – than what your Aetna plan “recognizes.” Your doctor may bill you for the dollar amount that Aetna doesn’t “recognize.” You must also pay any copayments, coinsurance and deductibles under your plan. No dollar amount above the “recognized charge” counts toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximums. To learn more about how we pay out-of-network benefits visit
www.aetna.com. Type “how Aetna pays” in the search box.
You can avoid these extra costs by getting your care from Aetna’s broad network of health care providers. Go to
www.aetna.com and click on “Find a Doctor” on the left side
of the page. If you are already a member, sign on to your Aetna Navigator member site.
This applies when you choose to get care out of network. When you have no choice (for example, emergency room visit after a car accident, or for other emergency services), we will pay the bill as if you got care in network. You pay cost sharing and deductibles for your in-network level of benefits. Contact Aetna if your provider asks you to pay more. You are not responsible for any outstanding balance billed by your providers for emergency services beyond your cost sharing and deductibles.
Indemnity plan:
Payment for care is determined based upon the lower of: the provider’s usual charge for furnishing it; or the charge Aetna determines to be appropriate, based on factors such as the cost of providing the same or a similar service or supply and the manner in which charges for the service or supply are made. These charges are referred to in your plan as “reasonable” or “recognized” charges.
Some benefits are subject to limitations or visit maximums. Members or providers may be required to precertify or obtain prior approval for certain services.
Note: For a summary list of Limitations and Exclusions, refer to pages 57–58. Please refer to Aetna’s Producer World® website at
www.aetna.com for more detailed benefits descriptions. Or for
more information, please contact your licensed agent or Aetna sales representative.

5 Transition of coverage for prior authorizations helps
members of new groups to transition to Aetna by providing a 90-calendar-day opportunity, beginning on the group’s initial effective date, during which time prior authorization
requirements will not apply to certain drugs. Once the 90 calendar days have expired, prior authorization edits will apply to all drugs requiring prior authorization as listed in the formulary guide. Members who have claims paid for a drug requiring prior authorization during the transition-of-coverage period may continue to receive this drug after the 90 calendar days and will not be required to obtain a prior authorization for this drug.

accumulate separately toward the in-network and out-of-network deductible.
3 All amounts paid as deductible, copayments, or coinsurance for

5 Transition of coverage for prior authorizations helps
members of new groups to transition to Aetna by providing a 90-calendar-day opportunity, beginning on the group’s initial effective date, during which time prior authorization
requirements will not apply to certain drugs. Once the 90 calendar days have expired, prior authorization edits will apply to all drugs requiring prior authorization as listed in the formulary guide. Members who have claims paid for a drug requiring prior authorization during the transition-of-coverage period may continue to receive this drug after the 90 calendar days and will not be required to obtain a prior authorization for this drug.

Aetna Dental Plans
Small-business decision
makers can choose from
a variety of plan design
options that help you offer
a dental benefits and dental
insurance plan that’s just
right for your employees.

Davis, R. Gadsby, M. Kellett, G.Y.H. Lip, and S. Thackray. “The potential impact of periodontal disease on general health:
a consensus view.” Current Medical Research and Opinion, Vol. 24, No. 6, 2008, 1635-1643. *DMI may not be available in all states.
**Dual Option does not apply to Preventive plans or Voluntary Dental 3–9 size plans.
The Mouth Matters
SMResearch suggests that serious gum disease, known as periodontitis, may be associated with many health problems. This is especially true if gum disease continues without treatment.1,2 Now, here’s the good news. Researchers are
discovering that a healthy mouth may be important to your overall health.1,2
The Aetna Dental/Medical IntegrationSM program,* available at no
additional charge to plan sponsors that have both medical and dental coverage with Aetna, focuses on those who are pregnant or have diabetes, coronary artery disease (heart disease) or cerebrovascular disease (stroke) and have not had a recent dental visit. We proactively educate those at-risk members about the impact oral health care can have on their condition. Our member outreach has been proven to successfully motivate those at-risk members who do not normally seek dental care to visit the dentist. Once at the dentist, these at-risk members will receive enhanced dental benefits including an extra cleaning and full coverage for certain periodontal services.
The Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO
®)
Members select a primary care dentist to coordinate their care from the available managed dental network. Each family member may choose a different primary care dentist and may switch dentists at any time via Aetna Navigator or with a call to Member Services. If specialty care is needed, a member’s primary care dentist can refer the member to a participating specialist. However, members may visit orthodontists without a referral. There are virtually no claim forms to file, and benefits are not subject to deductibles or annual maximums.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan
Members can choose a dentist who participates in the network or choose a licensed dentist who does not. Participating dentists have agreed to offer our members covered services at a
negotiated rate and will not balance-bill members.
PPO Max plan
While the PPO Max dental insurance plan uses the PPO network, when members use out-of-network dentists the service will be covered based on the PPO fee schedule, rather than the usual and prevailing charge. The member will share in more of the costs and may be balance-billed. This plan offers members a quality dental insurance plan with a significantly lower premium that encourages in-network usage.
Freedom-of-Choice plan design option
Get maximum flexibility with our two-in-one dental plan design option. The Freedom-of-Choice plan design provides the administrative ease of one plan, yet members get to choose between the DMO and PPO plans on a monthly basis.
One blended rate is paid. Members may switch between the plans on a monthly basis by calling Member Services. Plan changes must be made by the 15th of the month to be
effective the following month.
Dual Option** plan
In the Dual Option plan design, the DMO may be packaged with any one of the PPO plans. Employees may choose between the DMO and PPO offerings at annual enrollment.
Voluntary Dental option
The Voluntary Dental option provides a solution to meet the individual needs of members in the face of rising health care costs. Administration is easy, and members benefit from low group rates and the convenience of payroll deductions. Employers choose how the plan is funded for 3–9 size. It can be entirely member paid or employers can contribute up to 50 percent. Voluntary is entirely member-paid for 10–100.
Aetna Dental Preventive Care
SMplan
The Preventive Care plan is a lower cost dental plan that covers preventive and diagnostic procedures. Members pay nothing for these services when visiting an Aetna PPO dentist.
