Reach your health potential

We value your total health – physical, emotional and social. We want to help you reach your full potential in life; however you define it. And we want to support you wherever you are on your health journey.

What it is:

The Aetna Medicare Advantage plan is a plan offered to eligible members of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program who enroll in the Aetna Advantage Plan. It’s a nationwide plan that takes a total approach to your health by covering your doctors, hospitalization and prescription drugs in one simple plan.

How it works:

You’ll continue to pay your Part B premium with the Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. It provides the same coverage as Original Medicare but with additional benefits you wouldn’t get, such as $0 deductible and excellent prescription benefits. Plus, we will reduce your Medicare Part B premium by $100 per month (up to $1,200/year). You’ll also get access to programs that may help you reach your health potential, such as SilverSneakers® fitness membership and more.

And you can continue to use your doctors, or any provider, as long as they are:

  • Eligible to receive payment under Medicare
  • Willing to bill and accept payment from Aetna

Get a complete Medicare Advantage plan without having to suspend your FEHB coverage. We’ve made it easier by offering them together.

Switch your plan, not your doctor.

Though you have a new plan option, chances are you may be able to continue seeing your doctors. The Aetna Medicare Advantage plan lets you see any provider (in the network or not), and you pay the same out-of-pocket cost for both covered medical benefits, as long as the provider is:

  • Eligible to receive payment under Medicare
  • Willing to bill and accept payment from Aetna

*By choosing this plan, retired enrollees age 65 and over agree that you have or will have Medicare Parts A and B by your effective date. You agree that you will be enrolled in our Aetna Medicare Advantage plan. We may need more information to enroll you in this plan prior to your effective date. If this is not completed, your benefits will be significantly impacted (i.e., $2,000 deductible not waived and you will pay 30% coinsurance on most services).

If Medicare Parts A & B are not your primary coverage (for example, you are an active employee or retired without Medicare Parts A and B), you will be responsible for the deductible and coinsurance. For coverage details on the Aetna Advantage plan without Medicare, please visit our plan brochure. Please see the Medicare Advantage plan benefits guide (PDF) for coverage details on the Aetna Medicare Advantage Plan.

You get access to discounts off the regular charge on products and services offered by third-party vendors and providers. Aetna makes no payment to the third parties — you are responsible for the full cost. Check any insurance plan benefits you have before using these discount offers, as those benefits may give you lower costs than these discounts.
