Aetna has been removed in our area of PA as a Medicare choice because of lax payments to providers and issues.
If I had any surgery that was considered elective I kept on them and documented the calls. Be a thorn in their side to how bad your life is and followup. Don't let them think you will go away.
I had to appeal several treatments for my family, or test over the years. In the end they were provided.
Good luck.
