At Aetna, we know that the true worth of any health benefits and

insurance plan is how it works for you and your family. Aetna also

recognizes all families are different, each with their own unique needs.

Some families need a plan with lower out-of-pocket costs when they see

their doctor; some need lower monthly premiums; and some need the option

to seek out-of-network care. With Aetna, each family can pick the plan that

best suits their unique individual needs. The choice is yours!

Plus, each health plan from Aetna offers a number of valuable member tools

and resources to help you and your family make more informed decisions

about your health and well-being. Whether it’s finding a doctor online,

checking the status of a pending claim, or finding the lowest-cost prescription

for you and your family, Aetna provides you with the tools you need to

manage your care.

Some or all of the plans described in this brochure are available to you

through your employer. Please check with your employer to determine

which plans are offered by your company.

Visit your doctor online with webVisit®

webVisit through RelayHealth links you with your doctor, Aetna health plan and pharmacy in a single secure network.

Aetna’s latest innovative health care benefit in collaboration with RelayHealth* offers members “webVisits.” Now you can communicate effectively and securely online with your doctor to seek non-urgent medical care. You pay any required copays or deductibles through the system as if you had made an office visit.

webVisit is easy to use:

1. Enter the RelayHealth website for non-urgent medical care.

2. Complete a questionnaire.

3. Submit it directly and confidentially to your doctor.

4. Once your doctor reviews your questionnaire, you will get a diagnosis, instructions and information — just like at an actual visit.

Simply register on the RelayHealth website at https:// www.relayhealth.com/Patients/Registration.aspx to get started.

Once registered, log in at your convenience to take advantage the many features available to registered members in addition to the webVisit service:

■ Consult with your doctor

■ Make/cancel appointments

■ Obtain referrals

■ Request lab and test results

■ Order prescription refills

■ Send note to your doctor’s office

* Small Group employers need to do nothing as this service will be automatically added to their employees’ coverage. This feature does not apply to any HMO health benefits plan a prospective member may choose. Plan sponsors offering Traditional plans can customize the copay required for an online visit (webVisit). This service includes plans that have health funds when the fund limit is exhausted. Physicians will be paid for services provided according to the terms of their contract. As always, a member’s financial responsibility depends on the terms of his or her plan, which may vary.

Page 9: Nevada Small Group Enrollment GuideBenefits and insurance plans for the way you live Nevada Small Group Enrollment Guide 14.05.902.1-NV C (02/09)

What’s the difference between online RelayHealth site and e-mailing my doctor?

A “webVisit” is a virtual office visit that links you to your doctor, Aetna and your pharmacy for convenient service for your non-urgent health care needs. Here’s a quick summary comparison to illustrate the advantages of webVisit.

A few things to note before you get started:

■ You must have an established relationship with a doctor before webVisit can be used.

■ Your doctor must be a member of Aetna’s network and be registered as a participating provider in the RelayHealth physician network — participating providers are identified on DocFind through the Aetna Navigator.

e-mail■ May not be secure or HIPAA compliant.

■ Free form — you may not know the medical questions address so your doctor can diagnose your ailment.

■ Non-chargeable — eligibility needs to be determined and you must submit a claim.

webVisit■ HIPAA compliant — secure and

authenticated with user log in.

■ Clinically-structured questionnaire focuses on your symptoms to help your doctor determine an accurate diagnosis.

■ Reimbursable — checks eligibility in real time, collects copayment and submits claim automatically.

Informed Health® Line

Access to a registered nurse — 24/7!

With Aetna’s Informed Health Line, you can talk to a registered nurse anytime, day or night. Just call our 24-hour toll-free number (available upon enrollment). While only your doctor can diagnose, prescribe or give medical advice, the Informed Health Line nurses can provide information on thousands of health topics. They can also assist you on how to ask the right questions and describe health symptoms more effectively during your next visit to your doctor. Remember, always contact your doctor first with any questions or concerns regarding your health care needs.

A convenient solution for care on the go

Walk-in clinics

Looking for a convenient way to get medical care? Consider a walk-in clinic. It’s a convenient alternative to the doctor’s office. If you aren’t feeling well and have trouble getting an appointment with your doctor, it’s your answer to non-emergency care right away.

And Walk-in Clinics are not just for when you are sick. You might be surprised by the full spectrum of services available at a Walk-in Clinic, many of which are staffed by physician assistants and nurse practitioners. They offer:

■ Treatment for minor burns, stings or bites, sprains, strains and cuts

■ Care for earaches, flu and cold symptoms, sinus infections and allergies

■ Physicals and pediatric and gynecologic services

■ Flu shots and other vaccinations

■ X-ray and lab services

For care that is not minor, such as fractures, sprains or other urgent injuries, we contract with urgent care centers to offer you an economical alternative to visiting an emergency room. Urgent care sites are staffed with physicians to handle urgent medical needs, whereas walk-in clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners to care for minor ailments. And just like walk-in clinics, some urgent care centers offer evening and weekend hours with no appointments needed.

Urgent care

Check your Plan Design and Benefits Summary to get more information about coverage and costs to visit a walk-in clinic or urgent care center. Use DocFind through www.aetna.com to find the closest clinic or care center near you.

Follow these simple steps as your guide to locating a walk-in clinic near you:

Step 1Start your search in DocFind.

Step 2 Complete all the category selections — note there are required fields to complete.

■ Decide how you’d like to search for a provider — by zip code, city or county

■ Under PROVIDER CATEGORY, select Facilities (such as lab, walk-in clinics and X-ray)

■ Under PROVIDER TYPE, select Walk-In Clinics or Urgent Care Facilities

■ Finally, under PLAN, select your plan

Step 3Click START SEARCH for a listing of all the Walk-in Clinics in the geographical area you selected.

1. How much are you spending?Evaluate your pay stubs, receipts and canceled checks for all your medical spending and add the total amount to the total cost of your premium, copayments, deductibles and coinsurance. Think about your needs for next year. Here are some common scenarios:

■ Are you or your dependents scheduled for any surgical procedures?

■ Will you be seeing a specialist for a recently diagnosed condition?

■ Are you or your spouse pregnant or planning a pregnancy?

2. What are your choices?Check with your company to see which plans are available.

■ Compare the premium, deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums on each plan.

■ Review the limitations on each plan: Chiropractic care, acupuncture and physical therapy are some common benefits with limited visits.

3. Choose the right plan …Now that you know your health care spending for the past year and the plan choices offered by your employer, determine your needs for the coming year.

■ Add up what you will pay for premiums, copayments and deductibles under your new plan based on last year’s expenses or what you think might happen this year.

■ Review the coinsurance maximum amount and decide if it’s affordable should a major medical condition develop.

■ Remember: The most expensive plan is not necessarily the best one for you and your family.

■ Complete the process by submitting the necessary paperwork and updating your doctors of any changes.

Health care terms to know

Premiums are the amount you pay for your insurance policy, often deducted from your paycheck.

Deductibles are paid out of pocket each year before your medical plan covers expenses. Each family member usually has a separate deductible to meet before the medical plan starts coverage.

Copayments (copay) are flat fees charged each time you visit the doctor or use certain medical services, regardless of the cost of the procedure. Doctor’s visits and pharmaceutical purchases are often subject to copays.

Coinsurance requires you to pay a percentage of the cost of the medical services. Most plans require either a coinsurance or copay: usually not both.

Coinsurance maximum or maximum out-of-pocket expense is the maximum amount you’ll have to spend before all of your medical bills are covered by the medical plan. Sometimes, certain services, such as pharmacy, may not count toward the coinsurance maximum.
