Questions and answers
How does this Fixed Indemnity plan differ from a traditional comprehensive medical plan?
The Fixed Indemnity Plan is intended to supplement, not substitute for, comprehensive medical
coverage. Unlike most major medical plans, this plan does not have catastrophic coverage or a limit on
your out-of-pocket expenses. This means that you may have large out-of-pocket costs if you have a
serious or chronic medical condition. Because comprehensive medical plans provide more coverage,
they cost more. They typically satisfy the Affordable Care Act's mandate to maintain Minimum Essential
Coverage, but the Fixed Indemnity Plan does not.
Can I have the Fixed Indemnity Plan if I already have comprehensive health insurance?
Yes, the Fixed Indemnity Plan can supplement other health insurance. The Fixed Indeminty Plan will pay
the specified benefit whether or not your other health insurance pays anything for the service. The Fixed
Indeminty plan does not coordinate benefits with other coverage. If the provider participates in your
underlying health plan’s network, the provider may bill you for the rate the provider has negotiated with
the health plan and the Aetna discounted rate cannot be guaranteed.
If I lose my employment, can I take the Fixed Indemnity Plan with me?
Yes, you are able to continue coverage under the Portability provision; however, you will need to pay
premiums directly to Aetna.

Questions and answers
Do I need to submit a claim?
If you see an In-Network provider, you don't need to submit a claim. Your provider will submit the claim
on your behalf and the benefits are paid to your provider. If the benefits are more than what you owe
the provider, the difference will be paid to you.
This plan pays you fixed dollar amounts regardless of the amount that the provider charges. You are
responsible for making sure the provider’s bills get paid. These benefits are paid in addition to any other
health coverage you may have.
What if I don’t understand something I’ve read here, or have more questions?
Please call us. We want you to understand these benefits before you decide to enroll. You may reach
one of our customer service representatives Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., by calling toll -
free 1-800-607-3366. We’re here to answer questions before and after you enroll.

individual hardship. For more information call the Connector at 1-877-MA-ENROLL (1-877-623-6765) or
