Divisions
Aetna also has a notable presence in home insurance, casualty insurance and the security bond market. Canceling and dissolving insurance is legally and contractually difficult, but health insurance service providers are trying to find ways out of the regulations.
Corporate structure
The company has radically restructured its structure by selling its finance division to the Dutch insurer ING Groep . Aetna has thus become a pure health insurance insurer. The company offers pension benefits, dental, medication, future and group insurance .
