Give someone permission to manage your care

You can choose someone to do all of the above. This person is your appointed representative. An appointment is good for one year from the date that you and your representative sign an Appointment of Representative form. 

Fill out the form below and mail it to us. Any time your representative makes a request for you, they should send us a signed copy. You'll leave Aetna Medicare and go to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) website if you link to the form.

We help you get medically necessary health care services in the most cost-effective way under your health plan. And we work with you and doctors to evaluate services for medical appropriateness, timeliness and cost. 

 

Specifically, we: 
 

  • Base our decisions on appropriateness of care, service and plan coverage 

  • Use nationally recognized guidelines and resources to make changes 

  • Don’t pay or reward providers, employees or others for denying coverage or care 

  • Focus on reviewing the risks of members who aren’t fully using certain services

Doctors and health care companies continuously develop new technologies. This can include anything from a new procedure to a new way to use a device.

 

When we learn about a new technology, we:
 

  • Carefully review the latest information and ask experts for their opinions

  • Compare the information with well-known standards

  • Base all of our decisions on making sure you have the right care and services

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services periodically issues National Coverage Determinations. They issue these when coverage rules change for services or prescription drugs.
