Understanding Medicare Advantage PPO plans
With ${company} Medicare Advantage PPO plans, you can visit providers in or out of our provider network who accept Medicare and our plan terms. That can help you balance your choices with your budget.
How do Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO plans work?
Preferred provider organization (PPO) plans let you choose any provider who accepts Medicare and our plan terms. You don’t need a referral from a primary care provider for specialist or hospital visits. However, using providers in your plan’s network may cost less.
