Aetna
151 Farmington Avenue
Hartford, CT 06156
Now part of the Aetna Group, the Aetna Insurance Company was founded in Hartford, Connecticut as a life and property insurance company. The company added health insurance coverage in 1899, but sold those first health insurance plans only to owners of Aetna’s other types of insurance.
From the beginning, Aetna has always been instrumental in designing new health insurance products, such as major medical coverage and the development of HMOs. Aetna’s 1996 merger with U.S. Healthcare and 1999 merger with Prudential Healthcare strengthened the health insurance side of Aetna’s business. Now, Aetna is a major US carrier of all types of health insurance plans. The company offers a number of plans specifically for the residents of Illinois.
