2022 Aetna Medicare Choice Plan (PPO)


Aetna Medicare Choice Plan (PPO) H5521-328 is a 2022 Medicare Advantage Plan or Part-C by Aetna Medicare available to residents in Georgia. This plan includes additional prescription drug (Part-D) coverage. The Aetna Medicare Choice Plan (PPO) has a monthly premium of $0 and has an in-network maximum out-of-pocket limit of $7,550 (MOOP). This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure the co-pays are capped once you pay $7,550 out-of-pocket. This can be a extremely nice safety net.

Aetna Medicare Choice Plan (PPO) is a Local PPO. A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a Medicare plan that has created contracts with a network of "preferred" providers for you to choose from at reduced rates. You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.

Aetna Medicare works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Aetna Medicare Choice Plan (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Aetna Medicare and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all the benefits of Original Medicare from Aetna Medicare except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for Medicare Advantage.
