Aetna is one of the largest and strongest health insurance companies in the United States and defining their health insurance policies is very difficult as they are in every state and have a strong foothold in all aspects of the health care system. Indeed their CEO was in Obama’s office during the health care debate that rages on in this country. Aetna, is one of the most respected health insurance companies in America.
The Aetna individual health insurance plans include every single type of policy as they offer HMO’s, PPO’s, and POS health insurance plans depending on what state you live in and where in that state you live. East Coast Health Insurance is a strong Aetna supporter on the individual side of the health insurance business as they have never rescinded one of our policies after it was issued. That’s not to say that it hasn’t happened, but it hasn’t happened to us and we have certainly sold amount of Aetna policies.
Aetna Individual and Family Health Insurance Plans
East Coast Health Insurance currently offers Aetna in nearly every state on our health insurance quote engine, however this is our only Aetna page as of now besides the states I list below. Why do we have to have a seperate health insurance page for Aetna in every state you ask? Because the Aetna plans can vary tremendously just in one state. In Florida for instance the Florida health insurance market is on the POS Open Access plans while North Florida (most of it anyways) is on Managed Choice plans.

“Aetna moved up on the Fortune 500 list [in 2009] to No. 77, an eight-place gain over last year’s 85th-spot ranking. The company’s strong gains in revenues in 2008 were largely the result of Aetna’s integration and segmentation strategies, which led to strong membership gains of 848,000…Aetna competitor United Health Group was No. 21 on this year’s list; WellPoint was No. 32. In 2008, United Health was No. 25; WellPoint was No. 33.” – Adele Angle, Aetna Corporate Communications
