Why is FPA involved with Plan for Your Health?

Aetna and FPA have partnered on Plan for Your Health to educate consumers about the importance of health benefits planning and the relationship to personal financial health. FPA is involved because of their dedication to educating consumers about the value of financial planning.

Because the trend in health insurance is moving toward consumer choice, consumers will have the opportunity to take more responsibility for their health insurance/benefit choices. Our campaign seeks to provide consumers with the tools needed to guide their choices.
