We do the homework; you reap the rewards.

The Aetna Performance Network puts top-performing specialists within reach for our members. It offers the potential to control costs by providing access to quality care.

Our Institutes of Excellence Network is part of our National Medical Excellence^® program, supporting members facing a transplant or other complex medical procedure.

Top-Performing Specialists
Members often have little access to independent, objective information when they choose specialists. The Aetna Performance network is one of a series of industry-leading initiatives from Aetna designed to:

• Address rising medical costs
• Maintain access to quality care
• Help consumers make more informed health care decisions

At the core of the Aetna Performance Network are Aexcel-designated specialists. These are specialists who

• Meet certain defined measures of clinical performance
• Demonstrate cost-efficiency
• Achieve a balance of quality and effectiveness

Our criteria are based on nationally-recognized standards, consistent with leading associations such as the American Heart Association and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The Aetna Performance Network can be coupled with most Aetna products, including our consumer-directed Aetna HealthFund^® plans.
