A dedicated team to support your treatment

The Aetna Specialty Health Care Management team is here for you. They help members with chronic conditions stay on track and get support for their treatment. These conditions include:

• Asthma (pediatric and adult)
• Crohn's Disease
• Hepatitis C
• HIV
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Oncology
• Osteoporosis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Transplant

Managing these conditions can be challenging. Treatment often means taking specialty drugs. These drugs are injected, infused or taken by mouth. They can require special storage conditions, such as refrigeration. It's a lot to handle, especially if you're just diagnosed.

Personal attention from a nurse

You'll have your own Aetna Specialty Health Care Management Nurse to support you through your treatment. He or she can:

• Give you information about your condition
• Counsel you about your specialty medicine
• Help you stay on track with your treatment
• Alert you to potential treatment side effects and help you manage them
• Connect with your doctor’s office and ask questions on your behalf
• Help you avoid trips to the doctor’s office or hospital

Your nurse is there to discuss any questions or concerns you may have – and help improve your quality of life.
