Institutes of Quality ®<br />
The hospitals and health care centers listed in this section are in the <strong>Aetna</strong><br />
Institutes of Quality (IOQ) Network. They treat special health conditions and<br />
their services include: weight loss surgery, cardiac care (such as heart surgery),<br />
and orthopedic care (such as knee and hip replacements, or surgery of the<br />
spine). These centers belong to our quality network. They have high volumes<br />
and produce clear clinical results. Having a high volume means that they do a<br />
lot of procedures in their area of specialty. This delivers value and quality to<br />
<strong>Aetna</strong> <strong>Medicare</strong> members.<br />
Our quality network requirements were created by working with experts on<br />
these health conditions. You can find the requirements on the web at:<br />
www.aetna.com/provider/medical/resource_med/business_med/institutes.html<br />
You may need preauthorization for these services. Please see our Clinical Policy<br />
Bulletins. You can find them under Health Coverage Information on<br />
www.aetna.com (our public website). Not all Institutes of Quality services are<br />
covered by all health plans. And some Institutes of Quality do not have doctors<br />
who contract with <strong>Aetna</strong> <strong>Medicare</strong>. You may have to pay extra if you use a<br />
center that does not have doctors who contract with <strong>Aetna</strong> <strong>Medicare</strong>. Call the<br />
number on your ID card to find out.<br />
Total Number = 246<br />
