I’ve used Teladoc several times in the past couple months, and it has been so helpful! I didn’t have to go to the ER when one of my kids had the flu; we were able to get a diagnosis in the living room and have Tamiflu called in right away. Teladoc has become my doctor of choice!

Please Welcome the Following Providers to the Aetna Network! |
||
Using network providers can provide substantial benefits to members through the elimination of what's known as balance billing. Balance billing occurs when an out-of-network provider may bill you for the difference—or the balance—between the recognized charge and the actual charge. It is solely the responsibility of the member to pay the balance. The AlaskaCare plans limit payment of covered services to the recognized charge for the service provided. Network providers have agreed to accept, as payment in full, the negotiated charge. Therefore, you are not subject to balance billing when you use a network provider. Using network providers can also generate substantial savings for members by limiting charges to negotiated provider discounts. For assistance finding an in-network provider, call the Aetna Concierge at (855) 784-8646 or search online using Aetna’s DocFind tool. For more information about the benefits of network usage, please visit the AlaskaCare Employee Health Plan FAQ webpage. |
