Who they are

Aetna is one of America's oldest health insurers (founded 1853), owned by CVS Health since 2018.

Aetna is one of two administrators (alongside Highmark) running the State of Delaware's employee and retiree health plans. As with Highmark, the state self-insures — so these dollars are largely members' medical claims funded by the state and processed by Aetna, plus administrative fees.
