New to Aetna? Your doctor is probably already in the Aetna network With over a million doctors, hospitals, labs and other health care providers in the Aetna network, chances are yours is one of them. You can find out right now by visiting DocFind at www.aetna.com/united. A network comparison showed that 95 percent of the providers currently used by United co-workers are in the Aetna network. That means that the majority of United co-workers will not need to select a new provider to receive the highest level of coverage. SmartCare Seeing a top quality SmartCare provider: Could improve chances of survival from an acute or chronic medical condition like a heart attack, coronary artery bypass, stroke and many others. Could have less complications and shorter recovery times from illness and surgery. Costs less out of pocket while receiving concierge-level services. Gives you access to providers who are part of SmartCare if you live in or travel to Chicagoland and the Greater Houston Area. Note: SmartCare is not available with the Aetna Select plans. Visit DocFind at www.aetna.com/united for SmartCare in-network providers; look for this symbol. You may be able to continue your active course of treatment If you or someone in your family are undergoing medical treatment with a doctor who is not in the Aetna network for example, if you are in your second trimester of pregnancy, undergoing chemotherapy or had a recent surgery you may be able to avoid disruption in care. Call Aetna Health Concierge at 1-800-334-0110 to ask for a Transition of Care form. If approved, you will be able to continue with your present doctor and receive in-network benefits for up to 180 days or by June 30, 2014. 1
