<br /> <br />You can count on a plan that's <br /> <br />Easy to Use <br /> <br />CllOo~ing <1 PCP <br />The provider directory is a good place to start <br />when you select your PCP. Your family doctor may <br />already participate with Aetna U.S. Healthcare. <br /> <br />You can also use DocFind@ - our online provider <br />directory at www.aetnaushc.com - to locate a <br />PCP based on geographical location, medical <br />specialty and hospital affiliation. <br /> <br />For more information about a PCp, you can call <br />1-800-PIC-A-DOC* to check a physician's <br />credentials, schooling and years of experience. <br /> <br />You can change your PCP anytime, for any reason, <br />by calling the toll-free number on your Aetna <br />U.S. Healthcare ID card or visiting the Member <br />Services page on our website (www.aetnaushc.com). <br /> <br />\lilh.c )(llll' elwin' \\itll CClill'idcl1cC <br />You can feel confident choosing a PCP for yourself <br />and each member of your family from the Aetna <br />U.S. Healthcare network. When a physician asks to <br />join our network, the physician's licenses, <br />education and work history are reviewed. In <br />addition, a committee of practicing physicians, who <br />also care for Aetna U.S. Healthcare members, <br />reviews information about the physician and the <br />office. Participating physicians also must undergo <br />recredentialing on a regular basis. <br /> <br />Many PCPs are compensated in accordance with <br />our Quality Care Compensation System (QCCS).* <br />This system compensates them for delivering <br />quality care in a cost-effective manner, including <br />payment on a per-member, per-month basis <br />(capitation). PCPs can receive additional payments <br />based upon patient satisfaction, in-office services <br />they offer members, participation in continuing <br />medical education programs and cost-effective <br />utilization of specialists and hospitals.** <br /> <br />. Availability varies by service area. <br />"This portion of aces is not used in some areas. <br /> <br />Other PCPs and participating providers are <br />compensated on a discounted fee-for-service <br />payment basis, on a per-day (per-diem) basis, and <br />through other capitation arrangements. Some are <br />compensated by Integrated Delivery Systems, <br />Independent Practice Associations, Physician <br />Hospital Organizations, mental health companies <br />and similar provider organizations that are <br />compensated by Aetna U.S. Healthcare on a <br />capitated or other basis. <br /> <br />You are encouraged to ask your physicians and <br />other providers how they are compensated for <br />their services, including whether their arrange- <br />ments include any financial incentives for <br />managing costs. <br /> <br /> <br />Rob Moore <br />
