Networks
Aetna Choice POSII Broad network is available nationally. Aetna Premier Care Network (APCN) Narrow network is available in select geographies.
Is there a network of doctors and hospitals that I have to use?
Using the network is not mandatory, except in instances of infertility care, but generally, you will receive a higher reimbursement when using the network. If you use an in-network provider, you will be reimbursed 80% (70% under the $3,300 Deductible Plan). If you use an out-of-network provider, you will be reimbursed 60% (50% under the $3,300 Deductible Plan) of reasonable and customary charges for covered expenses after the Plan's deductible has been met.
In the event that you receive care from an out-of-network doctor (such as an anesthesiologist) while being treated at an in-network facility, benefits will be paid at the in-network level.
The network includes general practitioners, as well as specialists and hospitals. These network providers are selected by and contracted with the Claims Administrator.
There is a specialty network of providers specific to infertility treatments and services, through WINFertility ("WIN"). Please refer to the "Is there a network of providers for infertility-related treatment?" question for information on finding and utilizing in-network providers for infertility treatment and services.
Where can I get a directory that lists all the doctors and hospitals in the network?
The doctors and hospitals in the network are listed in a provider directory. The Claims Administrator provides an online directory of providers or you may call the Claims Administrator.
Network provider lists can change, so take the time to review the networks to determine which networks your health care providers participate in before choosing a third party administrator and network.
Important: In-network participating providers can change at any time; therefore, the network information you gather may not be accurate for all or part of the plan year. You will NOT be permitted to change your medical plan election during the plan year, even if any or all of your providers stop participating in any network at any point during the plan year.
Finding your ZIP code in the provider search does not mean that you are eligible for a narrow network; you must confirm you're eligible for a narrow network in the Aptia365 Benefits Enrollment Website. Aetna determines the ZIP codes that are included within their narrow network.

Note: If you want to enroll in a narrow network, be sure to check that your providers participate in the narrow network. You can do this by following the instructions above. Please note that if you're enrolled in a broad network and want to switch to a narrow network, you should follow the instructions for searching for narrow network participating providers. Important: If you're currently enrolled in a broad network, DO NOT log into your Aetna medical plan account to look for narrow network providers. If you do log into your Aetna medical plan account, you'll see only providers who participate in the Aetna broad network. You should follow the instructions above to check for Aetna narrow network providers.

Is there a network of pharmacies for Infertility Prescriptions (WIN Only)?
Yes. WIN's pharmacy network will provide all prescription drugs related to infertility treatments.
There is NO out-of-network infertility-related prescription drug coverage under the WINFertility program.
To locate an in-network pharmacy for your infertility prescriptions:
All of the pharmacies listed can mail the infertility prescriptions to your home, but there are retail pick-up options available in many areas as well.
Once your prescription order has been received by WIN, in the Review Rx screen, the "Select Best Pharmacy for Selected Drugs" tool will help identify the pharmacy closest to you (when retail pick-up is available) and match you with the best priced in-network pharmacy that has the infertility medications in your order in stock.
Your WIN Nurse Care Advocate will discuss the prescription process with you, as well as any preferred formulary drugs and treatment authorizations needed prior to processing any associated prescriptions. Your WIN Nurse Care Advocate also has access to the "Select Best Pharmacy for Selected Drugs" tool to help you find the closest pharmacy to you (when retail pick-up is available) with the best prices for your prescription.
Download the WINFamily App on the App store or Google Play using app code: MMC18 to view and manage your prescriptions directly in the app, including a cost-estimator tool to help you locate where the medications can be dispensed at the lowest price.
