2022 member ID cards are in the mail, in purple envelopes with Aetna Medicare branding

We are excited to share that 2022 member ID cards have been mailed in purple envelopes with Aetna Medicare branding, so they’ll be easy to identify in the mailbox. New member ID cards are mailed to:

• New Aetna Medicare members
• Members who changed plans
• Members who changed their primary care physician (PCP)
• Some renewing PPO members; see below

Please note that some existing PPO members will also receive a new member ID card in a purple envelope, even if they’re renewing the same plan. 

• Their new card includes a new member ID number and a new plan number.  
• Please remind these members to replace their current ID card with their new ID card by January 1, 2022, as they will need to show their new card to their provider when they receive medical care in 2022.

New diabetic supplies resource to help members get what they need

There’s new diabetic supplies and equipment list you can use to: 

• Talk to your clients about what diabetic supplies they need
• Explain how different supplies and equipment are covered
• Assist clients with accessing or ordering supplies they need
• Help minimize confusion
