Aetna
151 Farmington Avenue
Hartford, CT 06156
The Aetna Insurance Company, part of the Aetna Group, was founded in Hartford, Connecticut. After nearly fifty years of growth in the life and property insurance industry, the company added health insurance coverage in 1899. The first health insurance plans were only sold to holders of their other types of insurance policies.
Through the years, Aetna was instrumental in offering new health insurance products, such as major medical coverage and development of HMOs. Its 1996 merger with U.S. Healthcare and 1999 merger with Prudential Healthcare strengthened this area of Aetna’s business. Now, Aetna is a major carrier of all types of health insurance plans across the US. The company offers a number of plans specifically for the residents of Georgia.
