Prior to having an account with Aetna, you may search their provider network here. 

Under the "Don't have a member account" box, select "Plan from an employer".  In the “Continue as a guest” section, enter your location and select your provider search radius then click the “Search” button. In the "Select a plan" area,  under the “Aetna Standard Plans” section, select “Open Choice PPO” then click the “Continue” button. You may search for your provider needs by category.

It is always recommended that you contact your current and future health providers to ensure they are in-network with the Aetna PPO plan. Providers determine which carrier networks they participate in and will have their most accurate and current in-network status.

The rates for the 2024/2025 academic year can be found here.
