What does DocFind enable me to do?
- Choose your own search options.
Search for a provider by using a variety of criteria such as specialty, gender and/or hospital affiliation, or search using the provider's name or ID number. You can also use the "Find a Specialist" option to locate a specialist quickly.

After you enroll, you can access Docfind through Aetna Navigator, which prefills your plan name and zip code, making your search even easier.
