Popular Plans from Aetna
- High Deductible 5000 (HSA Compatible)Vimo Editorial Profile
Aetna's High Deductible 5000 plan is another easy-to-understand HDHP. Basically, Aetna will pay 100 percent of covered expenses after you burn through your $5,000 deductible. This means that, in the event of an accident, you won't have to worry about coinsurance or co-payments after you've spent your deductible. Granted, it is a very high deductible. - PPO 2500Vimo Editorial Profile
Aetna ’s PPO 2500 plan offers excellent coverage for a high-deductible plan, even delivering benefits for non-specialist doctor visits beforeyou’ve spent more than your deductible. In other words, after your plan goes into effect, you can have a standard doctor visit for a small copay. - PPO 40Vimo Editorial Profile
Aetna 's PPO 40 may have rock-bottom premiums, but it also has moderately high co-pays and a very high deductible. Individuals would also pay a very high out-of-pocket maximum (OOPM) before the plan would pay for 100 percent of benefits – while families would pay an OOPM twice as high. - PPO 5000Vimo Editorial Profile
Aetna ’s PPO 5000 plan offers excellent coverage for a high-deductible plan, even delivering benefits for non-specialist doctor visits beforeyou’ve spent more than your deductible. In other words, after your plan goes into effect, you can have a standard doctor visit for just a small copay. Visiting a specialist is more.
