Aetna PPO planAetna Indemnity planThe Aetna PPO insurance plan offers members the freedomto go directly to any recognized provider for covered expenses,including specialists. No referrals are required.This insurance plan is for employees who live outside the plan’snetwork service area. Emergency care coverage — anywhere, anytime,24 hours a day Large provider network No claim forms in-network If members choose a provider from our network ofparticipating physicians and hospitals, out-of-pocketcosts will be lower If members choose a physician or hospital outside of thenetwork, out-of-pocket costs will be higher, except foremergency treatment Deductibles and coinsurance applyConsumer-directed health plansConsumer-directed health plans are high-deductible healthplans (HDHP) designed to give individuals greater flexibilityand control when purchasing care. Aetna HDHP’s are pairedwith account-based funds that include health savings accounts(HSAs), health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) and flexiblespending accounts (FSAs).HDHP’s increase the flexibility and control employers andemployees have by putting them in the center of their healthcare. In more traditional scenarios, employees may havea higher premium associated with a low-deductible plan,and never use it. With an Aetna HDHP, employees can lowertheir monthly premiums, and create a fund to pay for theservices when needed. In an HSA or HRA fund, the moniescan roll over from year to year and can be used towardfuture medical expenses.When a HDHP is paired with an HSA, your qualifiedemployees have a tax-advantaged solution that allowsthem to manage their qualified medical and dentalexpenses. You use tax-deductible dollars to reimburseemployees for predetermined types of medical expenses.While FSAs allow individuals to use pretax salary dollarsto help pay for health care and dependent care expenses.Aetna high deductible PPO plan (HSA compatible)The Aetna PPO insurance options that are compatible with ahealth savings account (HSA) provide employers and theirqualified employees with an affordable tax-advantaged solutionthat allows them to better manage their qualified medical anddental expenses. Employees can build a savings fund to assist in coveringtheir future medical and dental expenses. HSA accounts canbe funded by the employer or employee and are portable. Fund contributions may be tax-deductible (limits apply). When funds are used to cover qualified out-of-pocket medicaland dental expenses, they are not taxed. Individual coordinates his or her own health care No PCP required No referral required Members can access any recognized physician or hospital forcovered servicesFor specific plan information, please see your plan contract.We offer two ways to meet your family deductiblefor high-deductible plansEmbedded aggregateTrue integratedfamily aggregateEach covered family memberonly needs to satisfy his orher individual deductible, notthe entire family deductible.The entire family deductiblemust be met beforecoinsurance applies for anyindividual or family member.Health Savings Account (HSA)The Aetna HSA, when coupled with a HSA-compatiblehigh-deductible health benefits and health insurance plan,is a tax-advantaged savings account. Once enrolled, you andyour employees can make contributions. The HSA can beused to pay for qualified expenses tax free.Member’s HSA plan Members own the HSA Contribute tax free Member chooses how and when to use dollars Roll it over each year and let it grow Earns interest, tax freeToday Use for qualified expenses with tax-free dollarsFuture Plan for future and retiree health-related costsHigh-deductible health plan Eligible in-network preventive care services will not besubject to the deductible Pay 100% until deductible is met, then only pay ashare of the cost Meet in-network out-of-pocket maximum, then plan pays 100% We provide a no-cost health savings account throughpreferred vendors7

Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)The Aetna HRA combines the protection of a deductible-basedhealth plan with a health fund that pays for eligible healthcare services. The member cannot contribute to the HRA,and you have control over HRA plan designs and fund rollover.The fund is available to an employee for qualified expenseson the plan’s effective date.The HRA and the HSA provide members with financialsupport for higher out-of-pocket health care expenses.Our consumer-directed health products and services givemembers the information and resources they need tohelp make informed health care decisions for themselvesand their families while helping lower employers’ costs.COBRA administrationAetna COBRA administration offers a full range of notification,documentation and record-keeping processes that can help youmanage the complex billing and notification processes that arerequired for COBRA compliance, while also helping to save youtime and money.Section 125 Cafeteria Plans and Section 132 TransitReimbursement AccountsEmployees can reduce their taxable income, and employers canpay less in payroll taxes.
