There is no copayment when your child s primary care physician issues a referral to a participating specialist for a covered benefit. For certain specialist services, your child will be referred to participating specialists selected by your child s primary care physician. When your child is admitted to a participating hospital under Aetna U.S. Healthcare CHIP, you can rest easily knowing that he or she is covered in full for 90 days. Your child is covered for all medically necessary care including surgical expenses, consultations, and diagnostic testing. Of course, in an emergency, your child is covered at any hospital or other emergency facility.
Emergency care is covered anywhere in the world.
However, if a delay would be harmful to your child s health or if you are out of the Aetna U.S. Healthcare service area, seek the nearest emergency treatment. There are no copayments for emergency care at the primary care physician s office or at the hospital. We even watch over your child s eyesight. Aetna U.S. Healthcare s CHIP vision care benefit covers eye examinations in full by participating optometrists and ophthalmologists. Simply visit a Vision One provider and identify your child as a member.
