Employers see an average of 6 percent lower expected monthly costs with Aetna Funding Advantage Essentials plans. So it’s critical to know how you can use these plans to help your clients save money.**
Here are the basics:
- Plans are available on our national broad network and locally based networks in certain states.***
- They include the same value-adds as standard plans.
- They are lower cost than standard plans because:
- Coverage is only in-network
- Cost-sharing is:
- Lower for primary care visits, lab, urgent care and generic drugs
- Higher for emergency room visits, imaging and specialty drugs†
When Essentials plans include our locally based networks, you can add another layer of savings. Clients will see additional discounts of 8 to 15 percent compared to the broad network.††
