The following chart lists frequently asked questions. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What is a Medicare-Medicaid Plan What is an Aetna Better Health Premier Plan care manager What are long-term services and supports Will you get the same Medicare and Medicaid benefits in Aetna Better Health Premier Plan that you get now Answers A Medicare-Medicaid Plan is an organization made up of doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, providers of long-term services, and other providers. It also has care coordinators to help you manage all your providers and services. They all work together to provide the care you need. An Aetna Better Health Premier Plan care manager is one main person for you to contact. This person helps manage all your providers and services and makes sure you get what you need. Long-term services and supports are services provided through a Long Term Care Facility or through a Home and Community Based Waiver. Enrollees have the option to receive long-term services and supports (LTSS) in the least restrictive setting when appropriate, with a preference for the home and the community, and in accordance with the Enrollee s wishes and Care Plan. You will get your covered Medicare and Medicaid benefits directly from Aetna Better Health Premier Plan. You will work with a team of providers who will help determine what services will best meet your needs. This means that some of the services you get now may change. When you enroll in Aetna Better Health Premier Plan, you and your care team will work together to develop an Individualized Care Plan to address your health and support needs. During this time, you can keep seeing your doctors and getting your current services for 180 days, or until your care plan is complete. When you join our plan, if you are taking any Medicare Part D prescription drugs that Aetna Better Health Premier Plan does not normally cover, you can get a temporary supply. We will help you get another drug or get an exception for Aetna Better Health Premier Plan to cover your drug, if medically necessary. www.aetnabetterhealth.com/illinois. 3
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Can you go to the same doctors you see now What happens if you need a service but no one in Aetna Better Health Premier Plan s network can provide it Where is Aetna Better Health Premier Plan available Answers Often that is the case. If your providers (including doctors, therapists, and pharmacies) work with Aetna Better Health Premier Plan and have a contract with us, you can keep going to them. Providers with an agreement with us are in-network. You must use the providers in Aetna Better Health Premier Plan s network. If you need urgent or emergency care or out-of-area dialysis services, you can use providers outside of Aetna Better Health Premier Plan's network. If Aetna Better Health Premier Plan is unable to provide necessary medical/surgical services covered under your benefits, Aetna Better Health Premier Plan will cover these services out of network for you, for as long as Aetna Better Health Premier Plan is unable to provide the services in network. To find out if your doctors are in the plan s network, call Member Services at 1-866-600-2139, TTY/TDD IL Relay 7-1-1, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or read Aetna Better Health Premier Plan s Provider and Pharmacy Directory on our website at www.aetnabetterhealth.com/illinois. If Aetna Better Health Premier Plan is new for you, you can continue seeing the doctors you go to now for the next 180 days or until you and your care manager decide who is best to care for you and your health needs. Most services will be provided by our network providers. If you need a service that cannot be provided within our network, Aetna Better Health Premier Plan will pay for the cost of an out-of-network provider. The service area for this plan includes: Cook County, DuPage County, Kane County, Kankakee County and Will County in Illinois. You must live in one of these areas to join the plan. www.aetnabetterhealth.com/illinois. 4
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Do you pay a monthly amount (also called a premium) under Aetna Better Health Premier Plan What is prior authorization What is a referral Answers You will not pay any monthly premiums to Aetna Better Health Premier Plan for your health coverage. Prior authorization means that you must get approval from Aetna Better Health Premier Plan before you can get a specific service or drug or see an out-of-network provider. Aetna Better Health Premier Plan may not cover the service or drug if you don t get approval. If you need urgent or emergency care or out-of-area dialysis services, you don't need to get approval first. A referral means that your primary care provider must give you approval to see someone that is not your primary care provider. If you don t get approval, Aetna Better Health Premier Plan may not cover the services. There are certain specialists in which you do not need a referral, such as women health specialists. For more information on when a referral is necessary, see the Member Handbook. www.aetnabetterhealth.com/illinois. 5
