The Aetna Better Health® difference

You deserve to be as healthy as you can be. That’s why we offer unique benefits that take care of the whole you. We have experience you can count on — with a range of services to help you on your health journey. We’ve added some benefits that go beyond your standard health coverage. Here’s a list of your extra benefits (PDF).

Pregnancy and newborn care

Are you expecting a child? We’ll help you stay healthy during your pregnancy. And you can earn rewards when you make healthy choices while pregnant and after the baby is born.

Kids' health

As your child grows, we’ll reward you when you help them stay healthy. For example, you can earn money toward the cost of a health-related summer camp.

Teens’ and preteens’ health

Members between the ages of 12 and 18 can also earn rewards for healthy choices. Earn a $25 gift card for a teen or preteen’s yearly wellness visit and more.

Diabetes care

If you have diabetes, we’re here to help you take care of it. You can also earn rewards when you take steps to manage your diabetes. For example, you can get a $25 gift card for completing an eye exam.

Benefits in your plan

Benefits in your plan

Learn about all your plan benefits, from vision and dental care to maternity care. You can learn more about all these topics in your member handbook (PDF).

 

Fee-For-Service benefits

 

Some benefits, like nursing facilities or organ transplant, are covered by Medicaid, not Aetna Better Health. Those are called Fee-For-Service benefits. You can find a list of them in your member handbook (PDF).

 

Copays

 

Members may have copays for some services. You can check your member handbook for a list. Have questions? Just call us at 1-888-348-2922 (TTY: 711), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 

Referrals

 

You don’t need a referral from your primary care provider (PCP) to see another in-network doctor. Just be sure to tell your PCP if you plan to see another doctor. That way they can coordinate your care. 

 

Approval for services

 

Some services need approval, or prior authorization (PA), before you get them. We base all our decisions on whether the service is:

 

  • Needed for your health
  • Likely to help you
  • Covered

 

You can learn more about PA. Just visit our PA page.

We take care of the whole you. That means you’re covered if you need to see a specialist, have an emergency or plan to start a family.

 

You can also get a wide range of preventive care and vaccines. Start by finding a provider today.

A healthy smile goes a long way. Dental care is part of your overall health. That’s why you should see your dentist every six months.
