What is a private fee-for-service plan?
It is a Medicare Advantage Plan that provides you with those services covered by the Original Medicare Plan and more. These plans are offered by private insurance companies, like Aetna, through a contract with the federal government and include a plan premium for medical coverage. You can choose a provider you want to see as long as they are eligible to receive payment from Medicare, agree to treat you for covered services, and accept the Aetna Medicare Open Plan Terms and Conditions of Participation. This allows you flexibility with your care. The Aetna Medicare (PFFS) Plan is also known as a Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service plan.
