Take charge of your health care with new tools provided by AEP

The new Plug In to Benefit section of the AEP HealthHUB website, with many new resources and features to assist with 2016 medical plans,  is now available.

From office visits to hospital stays, health care can be expensive and inconvenient — but with two new powerful tools now provided to AEP employees and pre-65 retirees, it doesn’t have to be.

Today, AEP employees and pre-65 retirees can access the new Plug In to Benefit section of the AEP HealthHUB website, as well as the new Health Navigator* tool. Both are being provided to allow participants to get the most from their 2016 health care plans.

• To access AEP HealthHUB’s new features, simply go to http://www.aephealthhub.com — no password is required, and the site includes updated tools, resources and information that you will find valuable as you use your medical plan. AEP HealthHUB is mobile-enhanced to allow you to access its features on the go.
• To access Health Navigator, activate your account to find the most affordable high-quality doctors, hospitals, and services in your area.

In the newly updated AEP HealthHUB, you will find information to help you make the most of your medical plan in 2016. Among the new features are complete user guides for each of the medical plans — HRA, HSA Plus, and HSA Basic. You’ll also find convenient ways to find out more about and to access consumer health care tools, including Health Navigator.
