My company switched the insurance company into an Aetna international one and not only me but I speak for the rest of my colleagues at work we are very dissatisfied. Every time I make a claim is rejected with no further explanation. So I have to take my time to call every time to find out the reason why. Sometimes I have to submit the claim twice or three times because they kept changing their mind on the information I needed to enter. I just told my company I would like to switch back to Aviva which it has a better service and always payed the claims with no problems. Please stay away from Aetna insurance company.

This is a horrible company. The amount of time you have to wait to get you payment is RIDICULOUS. The whole point of having this is so you don't get behind in bills while out of work but the time it takes to get paid is so long that getting behind is a guarantee. I'm still waiting to be paid and am now facing eviction because of it. I called and told them this and even tho I have been approved, I was told there's nothing they can do to quicken the direct deposit and that it will take another week for payment! Unacceptable! My family and I will be displaced by then as I have a max of 3 days to move out from the premises. My wife had disability once for maternity leave and the entire process from start to finish was HALF of what I've already been waiting. Be warned, this company is a joke!

I had this insurance while I was in the U.K for two years. They always were able to get me into a place where I would be taken care of. I had coverage for every issue I ran into while I was there.

We currently use Aetna for our health insurance. I have never had a bill not paid by them and have never had paper work. Its all taking care of by my doctor. This company is great.

Aetna insurance is really good, especially the higher-up plans. I pay 10% they pay 90%. It's awesome because my out-of-pocket maximum isn't very high, so prescriptions and Dr visits are almost always free after around June. It can be a more expensive plan, but to me, it's worth it!!

Aetna I recently just got, and I was a bit disappointed. They are not as good as some other health insurance companies I have had. My prescription that I take monthly was significantly more than what I wanted. As a college student that is a bit hard on my budget.

Aetna has been a good health insurance for us. We have had many different kinds of insurances because of different jobs and Aetna is one of the better ones. Our monthly payment is pretty good but the best part is we were able to keep our same doctors.

At a previous job we were covered by Aetna. I was pleased with the price but a little turned off by the network of providers. That is the only reason I am only giving 4 stars. We had to switch our Pediatrician because of him being out of network. Other than that, they were great!

I didn't have to use Aetna much when they were my insurance providers, but they were always pleasant and straight forward to deal with. I never had to wait more than 10 minutes on the phone and my issues were always addressed quickly. Their autobilling always went through with no problems.

I am a first-time Aetna user. The network isn't great in my area but they have so far been easy to work with. I did, however, just get a denial on a visit I had. Perhaps I am doing this review a little prematurely. My mind may change once I talk to them about my visit that should be covered.

High priced with average coverage. I felt like what I was paying during the time I had the policy was way to high considering that I had a higher than average deductible. Once I shopped around for different coverage I quickly found that I could get a lower deductible at a more reasonable price. I didn't have a negative experience with Aetna, just the pricing was an issue.

I also had this for my health insurance with a former employer. Again, they covered just about everything I needed - even an urgent hospital trip that resulted in about 2 days worth of staying. The pricing wasn't bad at all, but I also was only paying for myself, no family plan.

Overall, Aetna is good. I've received a few bills after hospital or doctor visits that seemed more expensive than should be after insurance, but otherwise, copays are about the same visit-to-visit. Aetna has a great in-network portfolio to utilize as needed.

Great provider! Customer service was always available and wait times weren’t more than 15 minutes. I’m a lupus patient and they covered most all of my meds. The only negative I would share is issues with claims. I was in a car accident and Aetna covered medical cost after my co-pay and deductibles. Since I’m receiving an under insured payment from my car insurance company, Aetna wants me to pay them back for the medical coverage. That’s crazy, why am paying insurance if I still have to cover my medical costs from an accident that wasn’t my fault.

I used Aetna insurance while in Colombia volunteering. I had to call them frequently and they were always helpful and allowed me to get the volunteers into good hospitals. They required a ridiculous amount of paperwork on the back end that was overwhelming and excessive.

We had our second child under Aetna and it wasn't the best experience. We hadn't had any problems before that with Aetna - great copay and prescription benefits. It just didn't seem like the hospital worked very well with the insurance company. We payed up front for our baby and then were sent so many bills afterward, claiming they were going toward our deductible too. It was just much more confusing than it needed to be. But all in all, pretty great service!

I am a Medical biller for a medical practice. I also consult with a senior board advising new Medicare recipients on Advantage Plans. I have to say Aetna claims processing is the worst of any Insurance provider. I also found, for this reason alone more practices are leaving Aetna due to overload of work generated by your claims processing system. As for seniors looking for Medicare insurance, I direct all Medicare recommendations away from Aetna. Start listening to providers and patients, unless profits are your only agenda.

Aetna was the worst health care provider I ever had. They do everything in there power to cheat you out of health care. They recommended me to use a lower cost MRI. One of the places was out of business and the other did not accept Aetna. I went to a participating surgeon and was denighed insurance coverage by Aetna. They are a very expensive horrible awful medical insurance!

Prescription coverage is terrible. I have BPH, had the prostate biopsy, was prescribed an FDA approved medication for which there is a generic version that works well for me. The pharmacy said Aetna won’t cover it. I bought it with a coupon for $18 for ninety days supply. Won an appeal against Aetna with help from urologist, they still won’t pay for it. Going to cancel Aetna, they do not follow FDA and doctors recommendations, what is the point of paying for insurance when they won’t pay for prescriptions?

Aetna is the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. Don't even bother calling asking for help, they will refuse to help you and direct you to the website. They sent me on a wild goose hunt for 2 hours only for my physician to tell me it was indeed, their responsibility to help. After 2 hours of nonsense, they were able to give me 0 information. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Regarding their customer service phone line, it is non-existent. I called to question a copay and have been on hold for 47 minutes. Maybe their plan to avoid having to actually provide customer service by not answering the phone. Absolutely unacceptable to leave an elderly person on hold for almost an hour. I guess once they have your premium you are on your own.

Worst healthcare experience of my life. Transferred 5 times and over an hour on the phone and the agent that said he could assist, could magically assist after I asked his name and employee ID number. All from a migraine saving service that Aetna denied and should have paid for. I wouldn't have had to call if they did their job. My deductible is met and now they won't pay for care.

Customer service is rude, insensitive and down right intimidating. They deny all surgical claims unless it has the word Cancer in it and you have fight for the benefits you pay for. When I pointed out ACA regulations and caps to them, they told me to get a third party to handle my claim. The bottom of this box has "amazing" in it I would never rate Aetna it is less than even a star!

My experience has been a nightmare. They denied my prescription for my RA. I failed 10 drugs before we found one that worked for me. Two appeals later and it was approved. The cost $1400.00 a month. I have now been without meds for two months while dealing with this nightmare. I would not recommend this insurance to my worst enemy. It was not my choice to get this insurance. This is what my husband’s employer switched to from Blue Cross Blue Shield. They were fantastic and covered everything.

aetna lies to there insured . My story and you be the judge. Three months ago my Primary Doctor called me the Aetna was dropping them from their Network. I called to find out what was happening because I have had my Primary Doctor for the last 15 years. aetna said that wasn’t true and for three months they lied I just got a letter with less then 10 days to pick one of two doctors from the letter.Not alot of time. I picked another Provider Named Simple Compete. Shame on you aetna for blatantly lying to your insured. Stay clear of these Aetna

This is the worst health care company in the US. It gives US health care a bad reputation. The make you go through layers of approvals waisting doctors time and delays patient care by weeks and sometimes months. Please do not take the bait and choose this company for your employees. Everyone suffers and pays more in dollars, time , and lack of quality and timely care.

As a healthcare provider, we bill Aetna when our patient informs us. Recently billed a claim and received payment from Aetna...BUT.... Aetna is too cheap to include an EOB. So I had to go into Availity to enter specific data to see who this $3000 payment was for. Availity is having problems internally and we can not download or print the EOB. So....we've been sitting on a $3000 check ALL week because we don't know who it belongs to. The Aetna rep's advise was to call Availity. WORST INSURANCE COMPANY EVER !!!!!!

Terrible, terrible, terrible customer service. I have been on the phone for 8 hours trying to get an issue resolved. People either do not speak English and cannot understand my issue, hang up on me, or keep bouncing me around. Some of them tell me one thing, others tell me a different thing. One tells me that a complaint was filed, another tells me there is nothing filed. One sees the notes from previous calls, another tells me there are no notes. Eight hours on the phone and still not issue resolved. Will not be renewing my policy with them.

Aetna has to be the worst health insurance company out there. Their agents continuously gave out false information, made promises they didn't keep and denied, denied, denied coverage, EVEN when they said on the phone something would be covered. Their total lack of care for the client certainly drives one to think, do we really need or want insurance companies anymore.
