Aetna Vital Savings (the “Program”) is not insurance. The Program does not meet the Minimum Creditable Coverage requirements in Massachusetts. It provides access to discounted rates offered by participating providers who are independent contractors and not employees or agents of Aetna. The Program does not make any payments to providers. You are responsible for paying the provider but will receive a discount from those providers in our discount program network. Discount amounts may vary depending on the provider and type of service. Provider participation may change without notice. Aetna Vital Savings is not available in Vermont or Montana. Aetna Life Insurance Company, located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06156, 1-877-698-4825 ${tty}, is the Discount Plan Organization. AetnaVitalSavings.com
DISCOUNT OFFERS ARE NOT INSURANCE. They are not benefits under your insurance plan. You get access to discounts off the regular charge on products and services offered by third party vendors and providers. Aetna makes no payment to the third parties — you are responsible for the full cost. Check any insurance plan benefits you have before using these discount offers, as those benefits may give you lower costs than these discounts.
