We want to hear what you think

Your opinion matters. Every year, we host meetings to talk about what’s working for us and what needs improvement. We’d love to have you attend. Join us and tell us what you think.

Aetna Provider Partnership Program (AP3)

The AP3 group reviews, monitors and assesses our policies, practices and potential innovations relative to provider partnerships. The group aims to reduce administrative burden and implement efficiencies, mainly for the benefit of our provider network.

 

The AP3 is made up of:

 

  • Provider representatives in three external workgroups

  • Health plan staff in one internal workgroup 

 

The external workgroups provide a forum for provider groups and their office staff to highlight areas of administrative burden when working with us. They also suggest ideas that would make their practices more efficient based on their findings. 

 

The internal workgroup includes representatives from all health plan departments that interact directly or indirectly with providers.
