Important member ID card changes for those with Medicare Advantage plans
The following changes begin on January 1, 2022:
- All Aetna Medicare Advantage plan members will have 12-digit member ID numbers beginning with “10.” Aetna will no longer use the “ME” prefix for Medicare Advantage plans after that date. Consol Energy will transition from ID numbers beginning with “ME” to those beginning with “10” on April 1, 2022
A new year means new plans
Some AETNA patients may have a new Aetna Medicare Advantage plan for 2022 that has different financial obligations or a new member ID number. Use the Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry transaction to get details on their 2022 plan. Always use the correct ID number (for the corresponding year) when submitting claims, authorizations/precertification, or referrals.
