More on Aexcel
Physicians have a dedicated Aexcel page on NaviNet, the secure physician website, which provides them with access to reference materials and a detailed description of our methodology.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is an independent not-for-profit organization that accredits health care organizations. It also recognizes physicians in key clinical areas.
The NCQA serves as an independent ratings examiner for Aetna. It reviews how Aetna’s Aexcel program meets criteria required by the State of New York and the Patient Charter. The Patient Charter was developed by the Consumer-Purchaser Disclosure Project. It is a group which includes leading consumer, labor and employer organizations. They are working toward a common goal to ensure that all Americans have access to publicly reported health care performance information.
It is a requirement in the state of New York that NCQA publicly report the results of health plans’ compliance with the New York Attorney General Agreement. View the NCQA's latest report.
To view the Patient Charter agreement compliance report, please visit the NCQA website. You may do a search for just Aetna or all plans.
For more information on plans and products, including availability, details, and brochures, please contact Aetna or your broker.
Aexcel is not available with HMO plans.
Health benefits and health insurance plans contain exclusions and limitations. See plan documents for a complete description of coverage.
