Your Aetna Value Medicare PPO Comparison
Thank you for being a valued Aetna Member. New in 2025 Medicare is changing how your prescription drugs are going to be covered. Next year Medicare is capping prescription drug costs at $2,000. Meaning no individual on Medicare can spend more than $2000 out of their pocket on medication costs. This is a wonderful change as many Americans will see their Rx costs significantly drop. With this benefit starting next year, all of the insurance companies have had to make adjustments to their plans to accommodate for this extra cost. Aetna is no different. Aetna’s goal was to keep the core benefits of your insurance policy as close to what they were in previous years. You are going to see very minimal changes in Copays with your plan. Where you will see changes are on the prescription drugs & extra benefits like dental and vision. As an Aetna member you will still have access to Ascension, Aurora, Froedtert, Pro Healthcare and Aetna’s nationwide network and have urgent care and emergency coverage worldwide. If you are happy with your coverage, there is nothing you have to do. Your plan will automatically renew for next year. We have included some links below that we hope you will find useful. We have also attached a PDF of your insurance plan to review all of next year’s benefits’. We encourage you to review the chart and reach out to our office and your agent if you have any questions or would like to discuss other options. When you call our office you will get a real person, no voicemail jail. You will undoubtably receive solicitations in the mail and unwanted calls on your phone. Many of these mailers are illegal and misleading. It is also illegal for anyone to call you on your phone. No one from Medicare or Social Security will ever call you, these are scams. As a reminder, FHK Insurance and your agent represent all of the insurance plans in the area and if you have any questions on anything, we look forward to hearing from you.

Your Aetna Value Medicare PPO Comparison
Thank you for clicking onto this page to learn about some of the changes with your Aetna Value PPO plan for 2025. As you will see, most of the changes are better or the same for next year. No change is great news for 2025. With Aetna, you still get access to most of the Doctors and Hospitals in WI, Froedtert, ProHealth, Aurora, Asension, and more remain in network for 2025. Since the Inflation Reduction Act has changed how these plans can provide benefits, which includes Part D coverage and the extras, you will notice an increase to your Part D deductible that only applies to drugs that are Tiers 3,4,5. You will notice that there is a percentage now on Tier 3, 4, and 5 drugs. If you are on generic drugs, this will not impact you. New Rule for 2025, the most you can pay for drugs that are listed on the formulary is $2,000 for the year. The $0 copays for Tier 1 and Tier 2 remain along with the CVS centric pharmacy network. Express scripts will remain for Mailorder medications.
Aetna continues to have some of the strongest dental benefits, with an unchanged amount, $1800, but a bigger emphasis on being in-network in 2025 as the benefit goes to 50% if your dentist does not participate in Aetna’s Dental network. Click here to check if your dentist is in network. Lastly, the fitness Direct member reimbursement and the Payflex card will not be included in Aetna’s plan for 2025 “”but core benefiuts are same””
In closing, If fitness reimbursement is important to you there are no plans offering this type of rich benefit in 2025. All the companies are a little bit tighter for next year, overall, we are pleased with these benefits and your plan will auto-renew if you do nothing for 2025. If you would like to review these changes we encourage you to reach out to your agent. For a full listing of Aetna benefits, see below for the summary of benefits.
