Open prior authorizations Active prescriptions for mail order delivery When will new prescriptions be needed? Some specialty drugs, and controlled substances, expired prescriptions, prescriptions with no refills will not transfer to mail order pharmacy upon renewal and will require new prescriptions PRESENTER – Aetna Open is for January to June renewal dates.

PRESENTER: ACCOUNTS WITH LIVES MAY MOVE TO A STANDARD PLAN THAT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT Open prior authorizations for drugs that apply to the pharmacy benefit will transfer upon renewal.

Some specialty drugs, controlled substances, expired prescriptions and prescriptions with no refills remaining will NOT transfer to Aetna’s mail order pharmacy - Aetna Rx Home Delivery.

Aetna Specialty Rx will need the member’s new information from the ID card to process the next fill.  However, if the member uses a pharmacy other than Aetna Specialty RX, they will need a new prescription.

After the definitions, it shows totals for charges. Get helpful messages from Aetna or your employer. Get a payment summary for claims on the EOB. See detailed information for each claim on your EOB. 1 2 3 4 PRESENTER:There are situations where someone can request an individual EOB if they do not want other family members to see medical activity. For example:  a member who is divorced, or an adult child may prefer that their EOBs be separate and directed to only them.  In these situations the ember would just call customer service to arrange for their individual EOB. We think your employees will like their new family EOBs. It’s a new look for them, but it will make it even easier for them to understand their claims. As a matter of fact, in 2013 Aetna was noted* as an industry leader in creating easy-to-understand EOBs. Specifically called out was our ability to simplify information about who paid for what, how much a consumer still needs to pay, and for clearly presenting the 'math' involved. Aetna was also commended for the use of effective graphics and consolidated layout. *DALBAR fourth annual "Trends and Best Practices in Explanation of Benefit Statements.“ Remember, Coventry members can access My Online Services for two years if they need to get information about claims, etc. Members can get EOBs electronically. . 5 *Unless an individual EOB is required by a state.
