Aetna HMO Plan
This plan is available to you if you are a non - U.S. citizen on a J - 1 Visa.
In an HMO Plan, the primary care physician manages all health care. You must select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and complete the Aetna HMO Election Form. The selection of a primary care physician and hospital is limited to those affiliated with the HMO. Health care is only covered when provided by the HMO or when permission is received for emergency care elsewhere. It has no exclusions for preexisting conditions.
Other features include:
- a copayment for office visits
- a referral is required to visit a Specialist
- no claim forms
For a current Physician Directory, visit Aetna HMO's website and select "Aetna Standard Plans/HMO**."
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. Princeton University believes the active health care plan is a "grandfathered health plan" under the PPACA.
