Transition of Care Aetna’s standard Transition of Care Coverage Policy will apply to members actively in a course of treatment at Downey Regional Medical Center. If any 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.
In addition, we want to help maintain continuity of care coverage if any employees are currently undergoing treatment with a specialist affiliated with Downey Regional Medical Center. In such an instance, our Patient Management RN staff and medical directors will review these cases personally and, when necessary, offer assistance to members who require transition of care coverage. For a limited time and when appropriate, Aetna will cover certain ongoing medical care for a specified period at the preferred level of benefits, rendered by a specialist who no longer participates in the network.
Emergency Care In an emergency, when a delay in treatment may endanger your health or that of a family member, you should go to the closest emergency facility for treatment. In this case, you will be covered for these services, regardless of whether the facility participates with us.
