In-network Provider NetworkAetna Student Health offers Aetna’s broad network of In-network Providers. You can save money by seeing In-networkProviders because Aetna has negotiated special rates with them, and because the Plan’s benefits are better.If you need care that is covered under the Plan but not available from an In-network Provider, contact Member Servicesfor assistance at the toll-free number on the back of your ID card. In this situation, Aetna may issue a pre-approval foryou to receive the care from an Out-of-network Provider. When a pre-approval is issued by Aetna, the benefit level isthe same as for In-network Providers.PrecertificationYou need pre-approval from us for some eligible health services. Pre-approval is also called precertification. Your innetwork physician is responsible for obtaining any necessary precertification before you get the care. When you go to anout-of-network provider, it is your responsibility to obtain precertification from us for any services and supplies on theprecertification list. If you do not precertify when required, there is a 500 penalty for each type of eligible healthservice that was not precertified. For a current listing of the health services or prescription drugs that requireprecertification, contact Member Services or go to www.aetna.com. Precertification is not required for substance usedisorders treatments for the first 180 days of treatment.Precertification CallPrecertification should be secured within the timeframes specified below.
