Benefit abbreviations on my Health Insurance Card?

I can't figure out some of the benefit abbreviations on my Aetna health insurance card. They are:

HO 20%
AS 20%
UC 75
MH 50-20v

Any ideas?

HO - Hospital Outpatient
AS - Ambulatory Surgery (same as outpatient surgery)
UC - Urgent Care
MH - Mental Health

Sorry, I'm not positive about these as I have Wellmark.
You should have something listed for Inpatient Hospital Care.

It has something to do with your co-pays. ie. MH probably for for Mental Health and means you pay $50 a visit with a max of 20 visits a year. HO may be hospitalization portion you pay, etc.. Just call the number on your card as many different plans are offered through Aetna and they shoudl be able to help you.
