What an Aetna member can ask before an ER visit in Knoxville. A member can ask Aetna for their own plan's negotiated rate and estimated cost share at a named hospital, such as Parkwest Medical Center, and whether that hospital is in network for their plan. The hospital can also be asked for an estimate. These are facility rates, and professional fees are billed separately.

Understanding Aetna Negotiated Rates
A negotiated rate is the price Aetna has agreed to pay a hospital for a specific service. This is not necessarily what you pay out of pocket. If you have met your annual deductible, you typically pay a copay or coinsurance percentage of the negotiated rate. If you have not met your deductible, you may owe the full negotiated rate.
The same insurer often negotiates different rates at different hospitals, and different plan types (HMO, PPO, high-deductible) within the same insurer can have different rates at the same hospital. The table above shows the range across all Aetna plan types at each facility.
Prices shown are facility fees only. You will also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.

How many Knoxville hospitals have published Aetna rates?

Will Aetna cover an out-of-network ER visit?
Under the No Surprises Act, emergency services must be covered regardless of network status. Aetna cannot charge you more than your in-network cost-sharing for emergency care, even at an out-of-network hospital. This applies to the ER visit itself, though follow-up care after you are stabilized may be billed differently.
