Benefit Comparison
The FSBP High Option column shows benefits when Medicare Parts A and B are your primary coverage. FSBP waives your calendar year deductible and most copayments and coinsurance (except for prescription drugs) and pays Medicare’s deductible and coinsurance for services covered by both Medicare and FSBP. Do not rely on this chart alone. All FSBP High Option benefits are fully described in the official Plan Brochure.

The first column in this chart assumes Medicare Parts A and B are primary and covered services are provided by doctors and facilities that participate with Medicare. FSBP does not pay 100% when services are provided by a doctor under a private contract that provides for direct billing and no Medicare coverage. This is also a summary of Medicare features. For more information on Medicare call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit Medicare.gov.
This is a summary of the Foreign Service Benefit Plan. Before making a final decision, please read the Official Plan Brochure (RI 72-001). All benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations and exclusions set forth in the official Plan Brochure.
*Please see the Summary of Benefits/Plan Benefit Guide for a list of services that require prior authorization.
**We’ve partnered with American Specialty Health Group (ASH Group) to provide you with therapeutic massage services. As an Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO member, you can visit providers in and out of the ASH network at the same cost share, as long as they accept Medicare and your Aetna® plan. Therapeutic massage treatments must be medically necessary, as determined by ASH Group, and provided by a state licensed massage therapist. We do not cover therapeutic massage for comfort or relaxation purposes.
Aetna Medicare is an HMO, PPO plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in our plans depends on contract renewal. See Evidence of Coverage for a complete description of plan benefits, exclusions, limitations and conditions of coverage. Plan features and availability may vary by service area.
