Rate Your Medical Professional Survey Results: The Rate Your Medical Professional survey provides members with an opportunity to give feedback on Aetna participating providers and other providers available to members under their coverage with Aetna. It is used to collect feedback on PCPs, specialists and other medical professionals. The Survey allows members to indicate their level of satisfaction with their access to and relationship with the provider and the provider's office staff. You may view the survey results on this provider by clicking the "View Results" link.

Board Certification: When a physician is board certified, it means that he or she has applied for and been awarded certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties or the American Osteopathic Association. To become board certified, a physician must:

  • Graduate from an accredited medical school
  • Complete a specific type and length of training in a medical specialty
  • Practice for a specified amount of time in that specialty
  • Pass an examination given by the medical specialty board

Board certification is a voluntary process. Most certifying boards now require physicians to be recertified at specified intervals.

E-Pay Connectivity: E-Pay, an innovative approach to claims processing and payment, is an electronic referral and claims payment system that allows Aetna to process clean claims for payment within 15 business days of receipt. Participating physicians enrolled in E-Pay can get rapid payment turnaround of clean electronic claims in all of our products.

Office Status: This indicates whether or not a provider is accepting new patients. It is recommended that you call the provider's office to confirm.
