LOCATING A DOCTOR AT DOCFIND®

Click to Open

CIEE has arranged for you to access a Preferred Provider Network through Aetna
that provides you access to over 650,000 Doctors, Hospitals and other medical
providers throughout the country.

To maximize your savings and reduce your out-of-pocket expenses, we recommend
that you select a Preferred Provider. It is to your advantage to use a Preferred
Provider because significant savings may be achieved from the substantially
lower rates these providers have agreed to accept as payment for their services.
Preferred Providers are independent contractors and are neither employees nor
agents of CIEE or Aetna. If you use a provider outside the network, additional
coinsurance will apply for covered illnesses, as outlined in the Schedule of
Benefits.
