Lab Work Cost Comparisons:
Know before you go: All members should be aware of the costs associated with lab work. Members on the Open Choice 3 should especially be cognizant of the different costs that may be incurred based solely on where the work is done.
Quest Diagnostics is Aetna’s preferred lab vendor which allows Aetna members to receive low contracted rates. Quest is almost always the lowest cost. Check out these comparisons showing that the same test at an area in-network hospital may be a thousand ($1,000) dollars more than at a Quest lab.
Remember to use the member payment estimator tool located in Navigator (Aetna’s secured member portal) to research lab services as well as many other lower cost options for MRIs, CT scans, etc.
Effective July 1, 2019 the District transitioned to Ameriflex as its FSA Provider, pending School Board approval. We anticipate receiving superior customer service from this new provider and expect a seamless transition. Information for the FSA can be found under the Flex Spending Account tab.
Vision Benefits: No changes. Vision insurance is automatic for all medical insurance enrollees.
