Answer
Hi Donald
You did not indicate what Aetna plan you have====an employer retirement plan===a Medigap plan====a Medicare Advantage plan==or a PPO.
So I have to guess which. What you described usually does not happen if you have original Medicare with a Medigap plan C,for example.
It usually happens when you have a Medical HMO Advantage Plan, People get them because they look cheaper than the Medigap plans. However, if you have a major illness or a cronic condition that has a lot of doctor visits, you get hit with co-pays after co-pays, that you are responsible for, and they can get quite expensive. It sounds like this is your situation.
