Tips from billing teams
- Medicaid providers: Aetna Better Health has state-specific numbers on each state’s site.
- Member numbers (like the pharmacy line on the member site) won’t help with provider questions; use the Provider Service Center.
- Calling Aetna many times a day? iAllo’s AI phone agent can dial, get through the phone menu and wait on hold, then handle the call or bring your teammate in when a person answers.
