Aetna’s Community Care program is described for Medicare members, so employers should confirm fit.
Aetna describes Community Care as goal-based health management with flexible support and coaching for chronic conditions. The source labels it for Medicare, so this page is not a statement about commercial group coverage.
What the program is and what members do.
What the program is
Aetna says the Community Care program offers goal-based health management with flexible support and coaching for chronic conditions. It appears in an Aetna insights article on care management.
How members use it
The article does not say how members reach the program or what a coaching session looks like. We would ask Aetna for the enrollment path and the contact method.
What the article does not say
It gives no price, no funding arrangement and no results. It lists Community Care next to separate offerings for commercial, Medicaid and behavioral health members, which tells us it is a distinct program.
Eligibility, funding and plan design.
Who can use it
The article places Community Care under Medicare. It is a general Aetna article, not specific to Michigan or to employer group coverage. Carriers often offer similar programs to Medicare members and to traditional group members, but employers should confirm for their group.
How it is funded or sold
The article does not say how Community Care is sold or funded. Because it is labeled for Medicare, we would not assume it is part of a commercial group proposal.
Where it fits in plan design
For an employer with retirees or Medicare-eligible members, it may be relevant. For an active-employee group it likely is not the starting point. We would ask Aetna which care management programs apply to the group’s population.
What to settle before relying on it.
Does this apply to our group at all?
We would ask Aetna whether Community Care or an equivalent program is available to any members in our group, and which one applies to active employees versus retirees.
What does the coaching involve?
The article says flexible support and coaching. We would ask how often members are contacted, who the coach is and how goals are set.
How is it priced and reported?
We would ask whether there is a fee, how it is billed, and what reporting the employer receives, with privacy limits made clear.
