*While only your doctor can diagnose, prescribe or give medical advice, the 24-Hour Nurse Line can provide information on a variety of health topics.

Aetna offers several different Medicare Advantage plan options, which include:

• Aetna Medicare^SM Plan (HMO)
• Aetna Medicare Premier^SM Plan (HMO-POS)
• Aetna Medicare Prime (HMO)
• Aetna Medicare^SM Plan (PPO)
• Aetna Medicare Prime (PPO)

Please note that all plans are available in all locations.

The Aetna Medicare (HMO) plan provides members with access to tens of thousands of network health care providers nationwide. In-network coverage may also be available when you travel, depending on where you are and your plan’s network coverage.

The Aetna Medicare Prime (HMO) provides access to a local provider network. You must use providers from within this network, except for out-of-network urgent care, emergency situations or renal dialysis.

The Aetna Medicare (PPO) plan combines the benefits of the HMO plan with the added flexibility to visit in-network and out-of-network health care providers.

The Aetna Medicare Prime (PPO) is similar to the Aetna Medicare Plan (PPO) and offers the flexibility to visit in-network and out-of-network providers and hospitals.

Aetna Medicare Advantage plans have an out-of-pocket maximum, which limits how much you’re required to pay out of pocket for your covered medical expenses in one year.
