The Aetna International networks include millions of providers and facilities around the world. In the U.S., members access the Aetna® national network.

Aetna Abroad

Delivering simplicity, access to expert care and value for customers and members

Simplicity

The Aetna Abroad network makes it easier for members to understand and use their plans with:

  • One directory of global direct pay providers available on our member website and mobile app
  • A simplified guarantee of payment (GOP) process with providers to help  increase the volume of direct pay transactions
  • Direct pay to the provider from Aetna International which, in many cases, eliminates the need for members to pay out of pocket for their care and then submit a claim for reimbursement, resulting in a cashless experience

Access to expert care

The Aetna Abroad network helps members connect with trusted providers around the world through:

 

  • A curated selection of the highest quality, most recognizable providers and facilities in 200 countries and territories around the world
  • Compliant plans in highly-regulated countries where local coverage is required such as Qatar, UAE and Oman 
  • 24/7 virtual care options and digital tools to support both physical and mental health
