Your Aetna Student Health Plan allows you to choose where to receive care from a network provider*, or a provider outside the network.
Save or see any provider -- it’s your choice
Option 1
Visit your campus health center or a network provider**
Network providers work with Aetna to offer you rates that are often much lower than their regular fees. This helps you save. Your network provider will provide care and:
- Get approval from Aetna before giving you certain services***
- File claims for you
You can also request a printed directory. Visit our Contact Us page to call or email member services, and we’ll send it to you.
Option 2
Go to a provider outside the network**
You can visit any licensed provider. Your out-of-network provider will provide care; however, you may be responsible to:
- Get approval from us before receiving certain services.***
- File your own claims.
- Pay the difference between the amount paid by your plan and the amount charged by your provider. This out-of-network option typically costs you more.
