Have a Medicare Advantage plan with a former employer, union or trust?

This website provides you with tools and resources that can help you get the most value out of your group Medicare Advantage plan. Since retiree plans vary, it’s important to review the information from your former employer or plan sponsor.

 

– Medicare Advantage plans can be medical only (MA) or include prescription drug coverage (MAPD). Be sure to check your plan documents to see if your plan includes prescription drug coverage or not.

 

– Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative to Original Medicare and can be either HMO or PPO type plans.

 

– Medicare Advantage plans also cover services such as a fitness benefit, vision, and/or hearing care. Review your plan documents to confirm which benefits and services are available to you.

Virtual care

Virtual care

 If you need after hours or weekend care, your plan also provides access to the following virtual care:

 

  • Teladoc®: Allows you to speak to a licensed doctor by web, phone or mobile app 24/7 — usually within 15 minutes.
  • MinuteClinic Virtual Care™: Allows you to speak with a licensed provider, 7 days a week.

If you’re enrolled in an Aetna Medicare Advantage ESA or PPO plan through your former employer, trust or union, you can also access telehealth visits with out-of-network providers. They have to be Medicare eligible and willing to bill and receive payment from Aetna Medicare. If you’re in a PPO plan, it may cost you less if you use in-network providers.

Nancy uses the Aetna Medicare Advantage plan to help her live her best life — hear her retirement story and discover how you can do the same.

Hi, my name is Nancy Baton.

 

I am a retired New Jersey high school principal and middle school principal. And I am truly enjoying my retirement.

 

I live with my husband here in Westfield, New Jersey, and I've been married to Bill. It'll be 38 years this summer.

 

We have two children grown children and I have five grandsons. My friends are very important to me. I have one group of friends with whom I play Majong once a week on Fridays and another group that we play a variety of card games. Just enjoying each other's company is what's so important to me.

 

When it came time for me to enroll in Medicare, I wanted the one with the least amount of hassles and I had been told what a great health plan Aetna has. That's why I chose Aetna, and I'm very happy I did.

 

When I decided to go with the Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, I chose it because of the wide range of coverage and the low copays. I found that I was not limited in my choice of doctors.

 

We use CVS pharmacy. It's very convenient. I even have a drive-up window. And what we like is that when our prescriptions are ready, they text us every year.

 

Aetna offers the opportunity for a healthy home visit. Once a year, they send a nurse right here in my home and the nurse examines me. And actually this year she found something, so she did a test on me and my doctor called me and said, you need to see a vascular surgeon and I'm under his care.

 

Now I never would've caught something that could be potentially very dangerous had that nurse not come to my home. I love to walk. I recently had a spinal fusion, so I've been unable to walk, but I walked between two and five miles with a friend almost every day. 

 

I'm recuperating now from the surgery, and I had a great deal of support from Aetna because they supported what the doctor recommended. And I am now in physical therapy twice a week. And I'm really looking forward to getting rid of my back brace and just starting to walk again. 

 

Having the support of Aetna and not having to worry about bills or paperwork, or is this covered, I didn't have any of that. All I do now is concentrate on my recovery. If you're not healthy, you're not going anywhere. So Aetna has helped me stay on track.
