In order to receive the highest level of benefits, employees of HCA affiliates enrolled in Smart Care must utilize HCA-affiliated facilities and Aetna PPO Network physicians. NOTE: Not all physicians contained in this directory are associated with or have admitting privileges to HCA-affiliated facilities. Employees and their dependents should confirm with the Aetna PPO network physician prior to their appointment if they are taking new patients and if they have admitting privileges to an HCA affiliate when inpatient and outpatient services are anticipated.

If your physician refers you for services outside of their office setting for physical therapy, lab or x-rays, e.g., it's important you use an HCA-affiliated facility if available to receive the highest level of benefit.

THE SMART CARE PPO PLAN RECOGNIZES ONLY HCA-AFFILIATED FACILITIES FOR THE HIGHEST PAYABLE BENEFIT LEVELS.

This directory also includes a comprehensive listing of Aetna PPO network facilities; however, not all facilities listed are HCA affiliates. To determine if medically necessary services are available at an HCA affiliate, participants must call Aetna Member Services. If Aetna determines that medically necessary services are unavailable at an HCA affiliate, participants must utilize an Aetna PPO network facility to avoid penalties. If those services are received from an Aetna facility, participants will receive a discounted rate. If care is not received at an HCA affiliate or Aetna PPO network facility when it was available, penalties will apply. Please refer to LifeTimes Benefits Choices Summary Plan Description for a detailed plan of benefits. All medical claims and/or benefit-related questions should be submitted to:

This Directory does not constitute a recommendation of any hospital, physician or other health care provider. The providers listed are independent contractors and Aetna is not responsible for health care provided or the omission of health care by these providers. While this listing of providers is complete as of it's printing, it is subject to change.

This Directory does not guarantee that all services or all providers will be covered under your health care plan. You must consult your employee benefits handbook, "A Guide To Your Benefits: Benefit Choices," as well as the medical claims administrator listed above to determine what type of providers and services are covered. Failure to refer to these resources may result in lesser reimbursement for certain medical expenses.

In addition to this directory, employees and their dependents can verify if a particular physician is in the Aetna PPO network by calling HCA's dedicated Member Services Representatives at 800.222.9215.
