Aetna (CVS Health)
Major national insurer now part of CVS Health, offering unique integration with CVS pharmacies, MinuteClinic, and HealthHUB locations.
Services Offered
Our Take
The CVS acquisition (2018) gives Aetna a unique angle: deep pharmacy integration. If you use CVS for prescriptions, the savings and convenience add up. MinuteClinic visits, HealthHUB services, and pharmacy sync all work together. Good Medicare options and solid employer plans. The downside: still has big-insurer bureaucracy and prior auth headaches.
