Aetna Inc.

Since November 28, 2018, the company has been a subsidiary of CVS Health.[4]

The company's network includes 22.1 million medical members, 12.7 million dental members, 13.1 million pharmacy benefit management services members, 1.2 million health-care professionals, over 690,000 primary care doctors and specialists, and over 5,700 hospitals.[3]
