Maxicare
PREFERRED PROCESS
1. The mission or missionary should make appointment directly with the
medical provider within Maxicare Network if direct settlement is required.
2. The mission or missionary should call or Email a request to the following
email address at Maxicare. If contacting Maxicare by email you will need give
them your Aetna ID number (begins with a W).
3. Maxicare will then place a Letter of Authorization (LOA) with the provider
(referral office) requested by the mission or missionary in the Maxicare
network. 2 LOAs will be issued, this includes one LOA for the initial
consultation and one for any additional care (e.g., lab, x-ray) if necessary.
Maxicare will confirm back to the missionary with a copy of the LOA and
provide instructions for the missionary to pick up a copy of the LOA from
Maxicare referral office within the same building of the doctor’s office (any
of the Maxicare Primary Care Centers practices have a referral office in the
hospital building to print the LOA for the missionary to bring to the doctor’s
office, as doctors often do not have the capability to print the LOA
themselves). If the missionary can print a copy of the LOA or collect from the
mission office they are not required to go to the provider’s referral office.
LOAs are valid for 10 business days from date of issue.
