Aetna Medical Insurance Plans

Aetna medical insurance plans are one of the most popular types of individual and family health care coverage in the US. Rates are generally very affordable and a wide range of policies are available. Comprehensive, major-medical, temporary, short-term and Medicare-Supplement policies are available in most parts of the country. In many areas, their rates are 15%-25% lower than most of the other insurers.

Majormedicalhealth.com is the nation’s respected online resource for affordable Aetna medical insurance plans. By using the “Get Free Quotes” button at the top of the page, easily, you will be able to see the best health care rates and apply online. As a trusted Aetna broker, we assure you that the quotes you view are the lowest available rates provided by each company. We will never charge any fees for using our website.

Aetna Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans are available in selected states. Typically, an HMO policy will have low copays on covered office visits, lab tests and X-Rays, include maternity coverage and feature small or no deductibles on major hospital claims. Preventive benefits and utilization  control are emphasized to reduce costs and a primary care physician (pcp) helps coordinate your treatment. Fortunately, this company has a very large nationwide network of health care providers, so regardless of where you are, you’re likely to be able to find a provider. We’ll be happy to provide the online link that allows you to view providers in any area. Unless you live in an extreme rural area, you’ll have plenty of great physicians and hospitals to choose from.

The most popular health insurance policies are the PPO plans. Deductibles of $1,500, $2,500 and $5,000 are available in most states and most office visits and prescriptions are not subject to a deductible. Preventive benefits are included and are typically covered with  no out-of-pocket expense. This type of policy is very popular for an individual or family with many office visits, including well-check visits and immunizations. The office visit co-pay on PPO plans will generally be between $20 and $40. Specialist visits are usually $10 higher. Unlike many other plans, there is no limit to the number of covered office visits.

Aetna HSA plans are a popular choice for those with very few medical claims and the self-employed. Premiums are often substantially lower than comparable comprehensive plans and benefits are covered at 100% once the deductible has been met. Preventive benefits are not subject to a deductible and they negotiate substantial repricing discounts for medical claims that are subject to a deductible. In most years, the deductible will not be met, so these discounts are very important.

An HSA is a catastrophic health plan (HDHP) coupled with a savings account that allows you to accumulate funds for future medical expenses. Funds in the HSA can be dispersed to pay for current medical expenses and also additional qualified dental and vision expenses that you pay “out of pocket.” You have complete control over the funds in your Aetna HSA and they can be withdrawn at any time, subject to policy and IRS guidelines. You are also not required to make any contributions into the HSA account. We are a big proponent of this type of coverage and highly recommend it. Personally, I have had an HSA for more than 10 years.

Majormedicalhealth.com is a veteran authority for affordable Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). We represent Aetna and most of the major health insurance carriers that offer coverage. We feel it is important to carefully research which plans will best fit within your budget, but still offer needed protection. It is possible that national health care reform will affect HSAs. We’ll continue to offer our expertise and time so that you’re always kept current with any proposed changes.

    Extremely useful article. Easy to understand. I need short term coverage and I did not know the rates are so cheap.

    Nice site. I like the Aetna PPO plans. The higher deductible gives me a good option to keep the rate down. Great preventive benefits too.

    I guess I better get coverage before my Open Enrollment.
