Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicare Advantage plans, sometimes referred to as “Part C” or “MA plans,” provide Medicare Part A (inpatient hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (outpatient medical insurance) coverage. The Aetna MA plans offer access to providers nationwide, with the same benefits in or out of network, and no referrals required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHBP Medicare-eligible retirees can enroll in the following Aetna Medicare Advantage plans: Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO ESA 10;* Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO ESA 15; Aetna Medicare Advantage HMO and Aetna Medicare Advantage HMO 1525.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Not all State retirees will be eligible for Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO ESA 10<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spouse or Partner with Different Medicare Eligibility than the Member<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicare-eligible retirees enrolled in a non-Medicare Advantage plan and who have a spouse or partner who is not Medicare eligible will move to the Aetna MA plan while the spouse\/partner and\/or any covered children remain in the non-Medicare-Advantage plan. Similarly, retirees who are not eligible for Medicare but have a spouse or partner who is Medicare eligible will remain in their non-Medicare-Advantage plan (along with any covered children) while the spouse\/partner is transferred to the Aetna MA plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
