Transition of Care

Transition of care applies when you (or an enrolled family member) become a new member of an employer-sponsored medical plan with Aetna and are in an active course of treatment with a provider who is not participating in your plan’s network. It may also apply if a provider terms from the network throughout the year. The TOC process may allow you to receive the in-network level of coverage of allowed expenses if you continue treatment for a period of time with a provider you are currently in an active course of treatment with but who is not an in-network provider for your plan.

You can review the provider directory online at MyChooseWell.Aetna.com, or call an Aetna Service Advocate for help with your search at 833-529-1661. If your provider is not in the Aetna provider directory for your plan, you may be eligible for a transition of care.

Frequently asked questions about transition of care are included on page 2 of the Transition of Care Request form that is linked below.
