[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had Aetna open access for several years.  Apart from the dropping IVF thing, I have no complaints. Good network. Claims paid quickly and correctly, and they stepped in and handled all those "your hospital is in network but the random doctor isn't" situations quickly.   Has a decent preventive dental benefit (I found it best to call and select the PPO). For 2017 they are covering 3 days inpatient for childbirth (more for c section) w no copay - good news for the pp who got pregnant in june.

Biggest complaint is that there is no out of network reimbursement benefit at all (except for dental). So if you see someone not in their plan, they won't pay anything.

For those considering choosing Aetna for the SG discount, it is not a bad choice.

Thanks! I only saw two days in patient delivery covered on the website though![/quote]

Just kidding, I see it on the plan brochure. That is awesome! I'm switching from BCBS fed basic, hoping I have a baby in 2017 to get hose better maternity benefits.[/quote]

It is a little weird, because in one place it says three days, and in another it says 48 hours. That discrepancy was in the 2016 brochure too; I called them a few months ago and they said it was an error and it should be three days in both places.  The 2016 brochure also specifically called out the three days in the "what is changing" section, and that section for 2017 doesn't say they are changing it back. So seems reasonable to assume they just never fixed the error but are covering three days.

The no copay part is new for 2017.[/quote]
