IQVIA Benefits Handbook
IN-NETWORK BENEFITS
Aetna has selected a group of health care professionals and facilities for the Choice POS II network. All providers in the network must meet certain quality criteria established by Aetna. The network monitors the quality of service patients receive through regular practice reviews, site visits, chart reviews and numerous other measures.
When you receive in-network care, the following benefit features apply:
- You are covered at 100% for eligible preventive care.
- Physician office visits are subject to a copay in the $400 Deductible PPO Plan and $900 Deductible PPO Plan; the deductible doesn't apply. In the $1,850 Deductible Plan with HSA and $2,850 Deductible Plan with HSA you pay coinsurance after the deductible is met.
- Pre-certification for inpatient hospitalizations and certain outpatient services are managed by the doctors for you.
- The doctors have agreed to accept negotiated fees that are generally lower than what you would pay out-of-network; as a result, Maximum Reimbursable Charges (MRC) do not apply.
Kaiser's exclusive network of providers allows members to access all services under one roof, including primary and specialty care, lab, X-ray and pharmacy. All providers in the network must meet certain quality criteria established by Kaiser. The network monitors the quality of service patients receive through regular practice reviews, site visits, chart reviews and numerous other measures.
