Aetna is rated A by A.M. Best for financial strength — the measure of a carrier's ability to pay claims decades from now. That matters for Meriden families locking in multi-decade term or permanent policies.

About Aetna
Aetna was founded in 1853 as Aetna Life Insurance Company. In 1998 it sold its individual life insurance business to Lincoln Financial Group, and today operates primarily as a health insurer under CVS Health. Aetna remains relevant for supplemental and group life coverage but no longer issues individual whole or term life policies.
What Aetna is best known for
- Group life (via CVS/Aetna)
