AETNA has been sending out their mailers on the new plan. We are aware. The contract is NOT registered yet, and we still have litigation to file... BUT... you MUST call your doctors and hospitals to see if they will accept the AETNA Medicare Advantage PPO plan. You want to ask if they are in network and if not, would they accept the plan for payment. If your doctor is NOT in Network or advised they WILL NOT take it for payment, please

From the NYC Educators:
We are tired of leadership's unilateral decisions and givebacks that have hurt and diminished our health benefits since the ill-fated, non-transparent 2014 and 2018 labor contracts which bartered "cost savings' to the City in exchange for our hard-earned healthcare. Moreover, there are sound alternatives they have refused to explore that would help bring down costs.
As we approach a new labor contract deal, more givebacks have been negotiated away by the present leadership. Retirees are now being forced into a privatized Medicare Advantage plan with limited networks, life-threatening pre-authorizations and a labyrinth for seniors to seek reimbursements for any uncovered care. In addition, a new, undisclosed and "no-frills" cheaper plan is now being devised to replace the premium-free GHI plan most active members have relied on for decades.
Our present and future healthcare, and the healthcare of our families, is not for sale.
We say: LET US VOTE, NOW!
