The main source for information regarding your health coverage is available at NAF HEALTH PLANS and AETNA.

Coverage information regarding your health plan is accessed from the home page for NAF HEALTH PLANS. On this page there are 3 main headings: Health Benefits, Tools & Resources, and Wellness.

There are quite a few discounts available such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, and even “at home” items and dental health. While you are there, also check out the Wellness resources at the top of the page.
