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.
Aetna received $1.55 billion from the State of Delaware between FY2018 and FY2026, across 816 payments — an average of $1,899,955 per payment. The largest payer was Department of Human Resources, accounting for 100% of the total. In the most recent year (FY2026), the state paid Aetna $201.9 million. Annual payments grew 44% between FY2018 and FY2026.
