Web and mobile terms of use

Aetna web and mobile terms of use

Welcome to Aetna’s web and mobile experience. These Aetna Web & Mobile Terms of Use (the “Terms”) apply to those websites and software applications (including mobile applications) that we operate and that contain a link to these Terms (an “Application” or together the “Applications”).

By using our Applications you are agreeing to these Terms. Please read them carefully.

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms on the Applications. You can determine when these Terms were last revised by referring to the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the bottom of these Terms. Any modifications will be effective immediately upon such posting. Your use of or access to the Applications after such modifications are posted will signify your acceptance of the modifications and your agreement to be bound by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modifications to these Terms shall not apply to any dispute between us arising prior to the date on which we post the revised Terms that contain such modifications.

Information on the Applications is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. The data set forth herein is for informational purposes only, and no warranty is made that the information is error-free. Please note that once you leave an Application or arrive at an Application from another non-Aetna location, either by using a link we may have provided for your convenience or by specifying your own destination, Aetna accepts no responsibility for the content, products and/or services provided at these non-Aetna locations. Aetna does not control, endorse, promote or have any affiliation with any other website or software application (including mobile applications) unless expressly stated herein.

Limitation of liability

IN NO EVENT WILL AETNA BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF THE APPLICATIONS, OR ANY OTHER HYPER-LINKED WEBSITE OR SOFTWARE APPLICATION (INCLUDING MOBILE APPLICATIONS), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA ON YOUR EQUIPMENT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE ARE EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Changes to the applications

Information may be changed or updated without notice. Aetna has no obligation to update information presented on the Applications, so information contained herein may be out of date at any given time. Aetna may also make improvements and/or changes in the products and/or programs described in this information at any time without notice.

Forward-looking statements

Certain information related to financial and operating performance contained on the Applications is forward-looking. You should consider forward-looking statements to have been made only as of the date of their original publication and you should not put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Those statements, while included on the Applications for historical reference, speak only as of the date of their original publication and have not been updated. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, uncertainties or otherwise. Forward-looking information is based on management's estimates, assumptions and projections, and is subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Aetna, CVS Heath Corporation or any of their affiliates (together, the “Company”). The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. By their nature, all forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and/or quantify. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Products and services offerings

“Aetna” is the brand name used for products and services provided by one or more of the Aetna group of subsidiary companies.  

The product and/or services descriptions, if any, provided on this site are not intended to constitute offers to sell or solicitations in connection with any product or service. All products are not available in all areas and are subject to applicable regulation areas and in many instances may be offered only through employers or other plan sponsors. Specific products may not be available in both self-funded and insured forms.

Covered services and preferred benefits are provided under the terms of the applicable plan contract, including limitations and exclusions.

Anyone interested in a particular product should contact their local Aetna representative to determine whether the product and/or service is available in their jurisdiction, and to request a copy of the applicable policy or prospectus for a complete description of the product and/or service in question.

Payment service offerings

A payment service may be available to some members of one or more of the Aetna Applications. The payment service is powered by our payment service vendor, Change Healthcare, Inc.

The payment service allows you to make payments to certain health care providers based on our calculation of your patient responsibility. If you make use of the payment service, you are responsible for determining the amount that you owe, which may be less than the patient responsibility shown through our Application. This may be due to other payments you may have already made directly with the provider, or other factors that may reduce your outstanding balance with your health care provider.

You may be able to make payments using a variety of your existing financial accounts, such as credit card accounts and checking accounts. If you are able to use an account that is regulated by section 213(d) of the IRS code, such as a health saving account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), you are responsible for ensuring the eligibility of the expense under section 213(d). Not all 213(d) accounts are eligible to be used through the payment service.

By using the payment service to make a payment, you authorize our payment service vendor to process payment transactions initiated by you through the payment service using your financial accounts that you designate. You agree that you are fully responsible for any such transactions and agree to only use financial accounts where you are an authorized user on the financial account. You authorize our payment service vendor to make any debits, withdrawals, charges or transfers from your financial account in the amount you ask for, including any surcharges or fees that may apply.

In the event that there is an issue with our payment service vendor delivering your funds to a provider, our vendor will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the issue on your behalf in a timely manner. In certain cases, you can request a refund of a specific payment. Contact the Aetna contact center to answer any additional questions. When our payment service vendor needs to return funds to you, the funds will be returned to the same financial account you originally used to make the payment.

In no event will we or our payment service vendor be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special or other consequential damages arising out of any use of the payment service. When using the payment service, your entered payment method information will be protected by us and our payment service vendor. Our payment service vendor follows major payment card industry (PCI) data security standards.

Third party resources

The Application may contain links to, or otherwise make available, third-party sites, services, products, information, content, materials, merchandise, functionality and/or other resources (“Third Party Resources”). These Third Party Resources and links and access to them are provided for your convenience and reference only. We do not control such Third Party Resources and, therefore, we are not responsible for such Third Party Resources, or any content posted on or made available by such Third Party Resources. Be aware that we do not control, and we make no guarantees about, and disclaims any express or implied representations or warranties about such Third Party Resources, including without limitation the security of any materials, or the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, completeness, or appropriateness for a particular purpose of the information or the resources contained on or made available by such Third Party Resources or any other Internet sites. We reserve the right to terminate such links or such access at any time. The fact that we offer such links or access should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of such Third Party Resources, or any content made available thereby. Because some Third Party Resources employ automated search results or otherwise link you to Third Party Resources containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or made available by Third Party Resources, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such Third Party Resources. Your use of any Third Party Resources is subject to the third party’s terms, conditions and policies applicable to such products, services or materials (such as Terms of Service or Privacy Policies of the providers of such products, services or materials). We are not responsible for the privacy and security of any information you share with that third party, including your credit card or payment information. When you elect to receive these services from a third party, you agree to hold that third party responsible for any unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information.
