If you do, we will work together with your other plan(s) to decide how much each plan pays. This is calledcoordination of benefits (COB).The order of benefit determination rules tell you the order in which each plan will pay a claim for benefits. The planthat pays first is called the primary plan. The primary plan must pay benefits in accordance with its policy terms.Payment is made without regard to the possibility that another plan may cover some expenses. The plan that paysafter the primary plan is the secondary plan. The secondary plan may reduce the benefits it pays so that paymentsfrom all plans do not exceed 100% of the total allowable expense.For more information about the Coordination of Benefits provision, including determining which plan is primaryand which is secondary, you may call the Member Services telephone number shown on your ID card. A completedescription of the Coordination of Benefits provision is contained in the Policy issued to Rice University and may beviewed online at www.aetnastudenthealth.com.In-network Provider NetworkAetna Student Health offers Aetna’s broad network of In-network Providers.

In this situation, Aetna may issue a pre approval for you to receive the care from an Out-of-network Provider. When a pre-approval is issued by Aetna, thebenefit level is the same as for In-network Providers.PreauthorizationYou need pre-approval from us for some eligible health services. Pre-approval is also called preauthorization. Yourin-network physician is responsible for obtaining any necessary preauthorization before you get the care. When yougo to an out-of-network provider, it is your responsibility to obtain preauthorization from us for any services andsupplies on the preauthorization list. If you do not preauthorize when required, there is a 500 penalty for eachtype of eligible health service that was not preauthorized. For a current listing of the health services or prescriptiondrugs that require preauthorization, contact Member Services or go to www.aetnastudenthealth.com.Rice University 2022-2023Page 6
