The Aetna Attending Physician Statement is a standardized medical form used to document a patient's health status for Aetna insurance disability claims. Healthcare providers complete it to give insurance reviewers the clinical details needed to evaluate short-term and long-term disability benefits.
The attending physician completes this form when a patient files a disability claim with Aetna. Common uses include short-term disability claims after illness or injury, long-term disability claims for chronic conditions, return-to-work assessments after surgery, and workers compensation evaluations related to occupational injuries. The physician must sign the form for Aetna to accept it.
The form gathers detailed clinical data across several categories. Understanding each section helps physicians complete it accurately.
The form follows the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). No genetic information is requested or collected. The form includes a clear fraud warning: providing false or misleading information carries legal penalties in many states. Physicians and patients are each responsible for the accuracy of all information submitted.
If you file disability claims with multiple insurers, you may also need the MetLife Attending Physician Statement for MetLife claims or a general Physician Statement form for other carriers. If an Aetna disability claim is denied, the Aetna Appeal Form is the next step in the appeals process.
