Member letters
We will send letters to the following employees and their dependents:
• Employees and their dependents who have been treated by a Primary Care Physician at least once in the past 12 months.
• Employees and their dependents who have selected a Primary Care Physician.
• Employees and their dependents who have been treated by a specialist provider at least twice in the past 12 months.

 

We will help with transition of care
Aetna’s standard transition of care policy will apply to members actively in a course of treatment. If any of your employees will require frequent or continuing consultation with a specialist physician for ongoing covered care, the employee should contact his or her current PCP who can help arrange transfer of that care to a similar specialist in the Aetna network.  If the member does not have a relationship with a PCP, the member should check DocFind® and other available resources to help find another specialist in the Aetna Network.  For a limited time and when appropriate, Aetna will cover certain ongoing medical care for a serious illness for a specified period at the preferred level of benefits, rendered by a specialist who no longer participates in the network.

 

DocFind/directory information
We will remove North Jersey Primary Care from our DocFind® online directory at the next scheduled update, after the contract is terminated.  Current printed provider directories include North Jersey Primary Care. This Physician Group will be removed from the next directory edition. DocFind is updated nightly, and is the most current source of participating physician and hospital information.
