of Florida One

group life services. More than 17 million people across the country now benefit
from the Aetna network of nearly 1.5 million health care professionals, doctors
and specialists. As the people's choice, Aetna of Florida has become a statewide

lower deductibles with the Aetna Preventative and Hospital Care plans. To give

Information:
All Aetna
deductible options have a 6 month rate guarantee. Please run an instant
quote for available rates in your area. The
premium can be paid via quarterly, semi-annual, or annual billing, or a monthly
bank draft or credit card. The bank draft will occur on the premium due
date each month. The initial premium can be paid with a check or credit
card.
Network:
Use Aetna's
DocFind to locate Aetna's participating doctors and hospitals,
dentists, in addition to Primary Care Physician-referred facilities and vendors
in your area. You may obtain covered services from any provider anywhere,
but you will pay a higher percentage of the bill for out-of-network expenses. It
is important to note that many non-emergency services require you to obtain
pre-authorization before services are rendered. Receiving this authorization
is as easy as making a phone call. Not doing so can result in your benefits
being reduced from 100% to 0%.
Underwriting:
Underwriting
of your application with Aetna normally takes two to three weeks, though
if medical records are ordered it could take longer. It
is standard practice to request a Blood Pressure Inquiry or medical records
for all applicants who are currently being treated for or who have recently
discontinued treatment for high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol.
Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to
two years), or an indefinite rider.
Effective
dates:
The earliest
your coverage can go into effect is one day after your signed application has
been received by Aetna. You may request an effective date any time as
far out as 60 days after you sign your application. Please
note, if you are requesting an effective date of less than 21 days from the
time you complete the application, you may not receive notification of your
approval until after your effective date. If you have claims during this
period, they will be eligible for coverage if submitted after you have been
approved. Also note that you will be billed starting on your requested
effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that you have been approved.
This is very good for someone who does not have any present coverage and would
like for their benefits to begin right away. For those who are already
covered, it is suggested that you maintain your current coverage in force until
you have received notice from either
eFLHealthInsurance
or directly from Aetna that your coverage has been approved and is in
force.
How to
Apply:
Simply run an
instant quote and
select the plan you are interested in. Then select to apply
online (note: internet explorer is required to apply online) or download
the application, fill it out and fax it in to us. We will then stay in
touch with your during the underwritting process to keep you informed of the
progress.
