Guidelines for doctors & hospitals

Identify that the patient is an Aetna International member by asking to see their Aetna International Member Identification Card.

Upon admitting the individual to your facility, contact the Aetna International International Service Center to verify coverage.

To contact the Service Center, dial +1 800 231 7729, preceded by the appropriate access code listed on the AT&T calling guide.

To call collect, please dial: +1 813 775 0190. You may also send an email to our office at: agb@aetna.com.

Representatives are available to assistwith direct payment requests and verification and eligibility questions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

After receiving patient information, an Aetna International Service Representative will fax a Verification of Benefits to your office. This verification will provide you with information on what portion of the bill should be collected directly from the member prior to their discharge (applicable deductibles and coinsurance as designated by their plan of benefits with Aetna International) and what portion of the bill will be paid to your facility directly by Aetna International. We recommended that you collect a credit card number from the patient to cover any incidental costs not covered under an Aetna International plan (e.g. coinsurance, personal items, phone calls, etc).

Submit a detailed bill/claim for services rendered to the Aetna International International Service Center. You may create your own bill/claim by including the information outlined below in a separate document, or you may complete an Aetna International claim form that has been provided to you by the patient at the time of their visit. The following information must be included with your direct payment request:

• Patient name
• Contact Information, including: Hospital or Clinic Name, Address and Phone Number
• Date of Service
• Amount charged for services rendered
• Amount that you have already collected from the patient
• Diagnosis, nature of illness and procedures performed (office visits, lab work, surgery). Please provide as much detail as possible.
• Name of the patient’s Employer and the Employer Identification Number
