Aetna Insurance

Post by Phoinix » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:20 pm

Our company just now moved to Aetna for insurance.

I had a supplier before that was just perfect and it cost me nothing for any of my supplies.

Can anyone suggest who they feel would be the best provider for CPAP supplies that will accept what the insurance pays?

You should check with your plan to see who's on the list... my Aetna plan won't necessarily be the same as yours.

Then call them and find out.

I have Aetna and each plan is different. My plan pays 85% and I pay 15% which turns out to be a lot for the sleep study -- $922.00 But each plan is different.

You'll need to call Aetna to confirm the specifics for your coverage under your specific group/plan.

In my case, any CPAP equipment or supplies weren't covered until my annual deductible was paid, and they required a 13 month rental, so it would carry into two years' deductibles. And to make matters worse, the in network choices were Apria and Lincare. For me it made no sense at all to buy in-network, so I just bought online. The amount may apply to my out-of-network deducible (not sure yet).

I'm on Aetna and I have the following coverage:

In Network = 90%/10% and no deductible
Out of Network = 80%/20% and $200 deductible

However, as everyone else has said, it varies from policy to policy.
