Aetna HIPAA Plans in CA

insuremojo · 03-13-2008, 01:20 PM

Hello All!

I'm helping a client with AETNA GI HIPAA in CA and was wandering if anybody knew off hand what the application reimbursement is.

I'm thinking probably anywhere from a one time $50-$100 comp.

Just curious.

Aetna does not pay on thin dime on HIPAA cases, same as Kaiser.

Zip.
Zero.
Nada.

Most in Florida do not either, Golden Rule and Assurant are the only exceptions, and they cut it in half.

I guess that shouldn't surprise me!

I'm such a great guy...giving my time for charity like that. Hopefully she'll send a couple of referrals my way, that would be nice.

Kinda reminds me of that VISA commercial,

Time spent with client looking over different HIPAA plans: 1&1/2 hours

Hassle with ins companies not wanting to give information: extreme

Giddy, appreciative, and happy customer leaving my office: PRICELESS!

Lol

My question then, what does Aetna offer under HIPAA that beats Blue Cross or, if HSA is the issue, Heatlh Net HIPAA HSA?

I have yet (and I write 40 or more HIPAA every month) to see anything from Aetna on the HIPAA side to even take a second look.

Well, after fighting with the service people at Aetna (they pretty much don't want this kind of business and make it very known) I did get them to fax me their application and rates. The rates were about 2/3 the price of the blues and almost half the price of hnet's plans.

Give me a call and I'll fax you what I got (even though their fax to me was not very good). 559-635-3073
