DEL.ICIO.USAetna targets age 50-64 with new health plans
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Aetna is introducing health insurance plans geared to cover Georgians from ages 50 to 64 and their dependents.
Georgia has become the 31st state where Aetna sells policies to AARP members in that age group to help bridge an insurance gap — targeting people who lack employer coverage but have not reached the Medicare eligibility age of 65.

“People in this situation often have a difficult time finding high-quality, affordable health care options,” said Frank McCauley, head of Aetna’s consumer business division.
These plans, sponsored by AARP, will start coverage Saturday in Georgia. Consumers can purchase them by phone (1-866-844-0888), online at www.AARPHealthcare.com/aetna, or through authorized independent agents or brokers.
AARP members between the ages of 50 and 64 and their dependents will be able to choose from seven different plan options in three categories: preferred provider organizations; health plans compatible with health savings accounts; and preventive and hospital plans, which have more limited coverage.
Aetna said their AARP-branded insurance plans cover thousands of members nationwide.
