Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ||
Organization | ||
1 | Organization | |
We conduct our operations in three business segments: | ||
• | Health Care consists of medical, pharmacy benefit management services, dental, behavioral health and vision plans offered on both an Insured basis (where we assume all or a majority of the risk for medical and dental care costs) and an employer-funded basis (where the plan sponsor under an administrative services contract (“ASC”) assumes all or a majority of this risk) and products and services, such as Accountable Care Solutions, that complement and enhance our medical products. Medical products include point-of-service (“POS”), preferred provider organization (“PPO”), health maintenance organization (“HMO”) and indemnity benefit plans. Medical products also include health savings accounts (“HSAs”) and Aetna HealthFund®, consumer-directed health plans that combine traditional POS or PPO and/or dental coverage, subject to a deductible, with an accumulating benefit account (which may be funded by the plan sponsor and/or the member in the case of HSAs). We also offer Medicare and Medicaid products and services and other medical products, such as medical management and data analytics services, medical stop loss insurance, workers’ compensation administrative services and products that provide access to our provider network in select geographies. | |
• | Group Insurance primarily includes group life insurance and group disability products. Group life insurance products are offered on an Insured basis, and include basic and supplemental group term life, group universal life, supplemental or voluntary programs and accidental death and dismemberment coverage. Group disability products consist primarily of short-term and long-term disability products (and products which combine both), which are offered to employers on both an Insured and an ASC basis, and absence management services offered to employers, which include short-term and long-term disability administration and leave management. Group Insurance also includes long-term care products that were offered primarily on an Insured basis, which provide benefits covering the cost of care in private home settings, adult day care, assisted living or nursing facilities. We no longer solicit or accept new long-term care customers. | |
• | Large Case Pensions manages a variety of retirement products (including pension and annuity products) primarily for tax-qualified pension plans. These products provide a variety of funding and benefit payment distribution options and other services. Large Case Pensions also includes certain discontinued products (refer to Note 15 beginning on page 33 for additional information). |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||
2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Interim Financial Statements | ||
These interim financial statements necessarily rely on estimates, including assumptions as to annualized tax rates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2014 Annual Report”). Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. We have omitted certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in our 2014 Annual Report, unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed and is required by GAAP. We evaluated subsequent events that occurred after March 31, 2015 through the date the financial statements were issued and determined there were no other items to disclose other than as disclosed in Note 10 beginning on page 27. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain reclassifications were made to 2014 financial information to conform with the 2015 presentation. | ||
Principles of Consolidation | ||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Aetna and the subsidiaries we control. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||
Accounting for certain provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, “Health Care Reform” or the “ACA”) | ||
We are participating in certain public health insurance exchanges established pursuant to Health Care Reform (“Public Exchanges”). Under regulations established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), HHS pays us a portion of the premium (“Premium Subsidy”) and a portion of the health care costs (“Cost Sharing Subsidy”) for low-income individual Public Exchange members. In addition, HHS administers certain risk management programs as described below. | ||
We recognize monthly premiums received from Public Exchange members and the Premium Subsidy as premium revenue ratably over the contract period. The Cost Sharing Subsidy offsets health care costs when incurred. We record a liability if the Cost Sharing Subsidy is paid in advance or a receivable if incurred health care costs exceed the Cost Sharing Subsidy received to date. | ||
Accounting for Health Care Reform’s Reinsurance, Risk Adjustment and Risk Corridor (the “3Rs”) | ||
Reinsurance | ||
Health Care Reform established a temporary three-year reinsurance program, under which all issuers of major medical commercial insurance products and self-insured plan sponsors are required to contribute funding in amounts set by HHS. Funds collected will be utilized to reimburse issuers’ high claims costs incurred for qualified individual members. The expense related to this required funding is reflected in general and administrative expenses for all of our insurance products with the exception of products associated with qualified individual members; this expense for qualified individual members is reflected as a reduction of premium revenue. When annual claim costs incurred by our qualified individual members exceed a specified attachment point, we are entitled to certain reimbursements from this program. We record a receivable and offset health care costs to reflect our estimate of these recoveries. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a receivable under the temporary three-year reinsurance program of approximately $385 million and $338 million, respectively. | ||
Risk Adjustment | ||
Health Care Reform established a permanent risk adjustment program to transfer funds from qualified individual and small group insurance plans with below average risk scores to plans with above average risk scores. Based on the risk of our qualified plan members relative to the average risk of members of other qualified plans in comparable markets, we estimate our ultimate risk adjustment receivable or payable and reflect the pro-rata year-to-date impact as an adjustment to our premium revenue. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a net payable of approximately $428 million and $230 million, respectively, under the risk adjustment program. | ||
Risk Corridor | ||
Health Care Reform established a temporary three-year risk sharing program for qualified individual and small group insurance plans. Under this program we make (or receive) a payment to (or from) HHS based on the ratio of allowable costs to target costs (as defined by Health Care Reform). We record a risk corridor receivable or payable as an adjustment to premium revenue on a pro-rata year-to-date basis based on our estimate of the ultimate risk sharing amount. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not record any Health Care Reform risk corridor receivables because payments from HHS under this program are uncertain, and we recorded an immaterial Health Care Reform risk corridor payable at each respective date. | ||
We expect to perform an annual final reconciliation and settlement with HHS of the Cost Sharing Subsidy and 3Rs in each subsequent year. | ||
New Accounting Standards | ||
Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects | ||
Effective January 1, 2015, we were permitted to make an accounting policy election to adopt new accounting guidance relating to the recognition of amortization of investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The guidance sets forth a new method of measurement, referred to as the proportional amortization method, under which income and expense items related to qualified affordable housing projects would be recorded in the income taxes line item. We did not make the accounting policy election to adopt this new accounting guidance. | ||
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity | ||
Effective January 1, 2015, we adopted amended accounting guidance related to when an entity reports a discontinued operation in its financial position and operating results. The guidance clarifies that a discontinued operation is required to be reported if the disposal represents a significant shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity are either classified as held for sale or are disposed of by sale. The amendments also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. We had no discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015. | ||
Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures | ||
Effective January 1, 2015, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. This guidance aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings with other typical repurchase agreements, resulting in these transactions generally being accounted for as secured borrowings. The adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our financial position or operating results. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings which we will adopt effective April 1, 2015. | ||
Future Application of Accounting Standards | ||
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | ||
Effective January 1, 2017, we will adopt new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition from contracts with customers. This new guidance removes most industry-specific revenue recognition requirements (insurance contracts are not covered by this guidance) and requires that an entity recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The new guidance allows an entity to adopt the standard either through a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. We are still assessing the impact of this standard on our financial position and operating results in addition to evaluating the transition method we will use when we adopt this standard. | ||
Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period | ||
Effective January 1, 2016, we will adopt new accounting guidance related to the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This guidance clarifies that awards with these provisions should be treated as performance conditions that affect vesting, and do not impact the award’s estimated grant-date fair value. Early adoption of this new guidance is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern | ||
Effective December 31, 2016, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to management’s evaluation of whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the related disclosures. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity | ||
Effective December 31, 2015, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to the approach used in determining whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or equity. Early adoption of this new guidance is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items | ||
Effective January 1, 2016, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of extraordinary items. The amendment eliminates the concept of extraordinary items which represent events that are both unusual and infrequent. Presentation and disclosure of items that are unusual or infrequent will be retained, and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual and infrequent. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis | ||
Effective January 1, 2016, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to the evaluation of consolidation for certain legal entities. The amendment changes how a reporting entity assesses consolidation, including whether an entity is considered a variable interest entity, determination of the primary beneficiary and how related parties are considered in the analysis. Early adoption of this new guidance is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs | ||
Effective January 1, 2016, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to the financial statement presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendment requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of our debt liability, consistent with the approach used for debt discounts. Amortization of debt issuance costs will also be reported in the Statements of Income as interest expense, as opposed to general and administrative expenses. Early adoption of this new guidance is permitted. This new guidance must be applied on a full retrospective basis, with all prior periods restated for the new presentation. The adoption of this new guidance will require certain reclassifications in our financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||
Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement | ||
Effective January 1, 2016, we will adopt amended accounting guidance related to the evaluation of fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendment provides additional guidance that aids in determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. Arrangements that do not contain a software license must be accounted for as a service contract. If a software license is included in the cloud computing arrangement, the license element must be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of a software license. Early adoption of this new guidance is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | ||||||||
Earnings Per Common Share | ||||||||
3 | Earnings Per Common Share | |||||||
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Aetna by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted for the dilutive effects of our outstanding stock-based compensation awards, but only if the effect is dilutive. | ||||||||
The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: | ||||||||
(Millions, except per common share data) | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Net income attributable to Aetna | $ | 777.5 | $ | 665.5 | ||||
Weighted average shares used to compute basic EPS | 349.5 | 361.6 | ||||||
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based compensation awards | 3.2 | 3.4 | ||||||
Weighted average shares used to compute diluted EPS | 352.7 | 365 | ||||||
Basic EPS | $ | 2.22 | $ | 1.84 | ||||
Diluted EPS | $ | 2.2 | $ | 1.82 | ||||
The stock-based compensation awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: | ||||||||
(Millions) | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (1) | 1.9 | 1.3 | ||||||
Other stock-based compensation awards (2) | 1.1 | 1.3 | ||||||
(1) | SARs are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS if the exercise price is greater than the average market price of Aetna common shares during the period (i.e., the awards are anti-dilutive). | |||||||
(2) | Performance stock units ("PSUs"), certain market stock units ("MSUs") with performance conditions, and performance stock appreciation rights ("PSARs") are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS if all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied at the end of the reporting period. | |||||||
All outstanding stock options were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We no longer have any stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2015. |

(1) | The three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include estimated fees mandated by the ACA comprised primarily of the health insurer fee of $218.7 million and $154.8 million, respectively, and our estimated contribution to the funding of the reinsurance program of $53.6 million and $84.9 million, respectively. Refer to Note 2 beginning on page 6 for additional information on fees mandated by the ACA. | |||||||
(2) | In the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a charge of $120.0 million pretax related to the settlement of purported class action litigation regarding Aetna’s payment practices related to out-of-network health care providers. That charge included the estimated cost of legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and the costs of administering the settlement. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, we exercised our right to terminate the settlement agreement. As a result, we released the reserve established in connection with the settlement agreement, net of amounts due to the settlement administrator, which reduced other general and administrative expenses by $103.0 million pretax in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Refer to Note 12 beginning on page 28 for additional information on the termination of the settlement agreement. | |||||||
(3) | The three months ended March 31, 2015 include $45.6 million of transaction and integration-related costs related to the acquisitions of Coventry Health Care, Inc. (“Coventry”), the InterGlobal group (“InterGlobal”) and bSwift LLC (“bswift”). The three months ended March 31, 2014 include $63.7 million of integration-related costs related to the acquisition of Coventry. | |||||||

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no material problem, restructured or potential problem mortgage loans. We also had no material impairment reserves on these loans at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
We assess our mortgage loans on a regular basis for credit impairments, and annually assign a credit quality indicator to each loan. Our credit quality indicator is internally developed and categorizes our portfolio on a scale from 1 to 7. Category 1 represents loans of superior quality, and Categories 6 and 7 represent loans where collections are potentially at risk. The vast majority of our mortgage loans fall into the Level 2 to 4 ratings. These ratings represent loans where credit risk is minimal to acceptable; however, these loans may display some susceptibility to economic changes. Category 5 represents loans where credit risk is not substantial but these loans warrant management’s close attention. These indicators are based upon several factors, including current loan to value ratios, property condition, market trends, creditworthiness of the borrower and deal structure. Based upon our most recent assessments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our mortgage loans were given the following credit quality indicators: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Variable Interest Entities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we consider several factors, including whether we have the power to direct activities, the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We have relationships with certain real estate partnerships and one hedge fund partnership that are considered VIEs, but are not consolidated. We record the amount of our investment in these partnerships as long-term investments on our balance sheets and recognize our share of partnership income or losses in earnings. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment in these partnerships is our investment balance at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of approximately $210 million and $209 million, respectively, and the risk of recapture of tax credits related to the real estate partnerships previously recognized, which we do not consider significant. We do not have a future obligation to fund losses or debts on behalf of these investments; however, we may voluntarily contribute funds. The real estate partnerships construct, own and manage low-income housing developments and had total assets of approximately $5.8 billion and $5.7 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The hedge fund partnership had total assets of approximately $6.9 billion and $7.1 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-controlling (Minority) Interests | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, continuing business non-controlling interests were approximately $66 million and $69 million, respectively, primarily related to third party interests in our investment holdings as well as third party interests in certain of our operating entities. The non-controlling entities’ share was included in total equity. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These non-controlling interests did not have a material impact on our financial position or operating results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments | 7. Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires certain of our assets and liabilities to be reflected at their fair value, and others on another basis, such as an adjusted historical cost basis. In this note, we provide details on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and how we determine those fair values. We present this information for those financial instruments that are measured at fair value for which the change in fair value impacts net income attributable to Aetna or other comprehensive income separately from other financial assets and liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value in our Balance Sheets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Certain of our financial instruments are measured at fair value in our balance sheets. The fair values of these instruments are based on valuations that include inputs that can be classified within one of three levels of a hierarchy established by GAAP. The following are the levels of the hierarchy and a brief description of the type of valuation information (“inputs”) that qualifies a financial asset or liability for each level: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
◦ | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
◦ | Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are based on observable market data. These include: quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates and credit risks) and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable markets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
◦ | Level 3 – Developed from unobservable data, reflecting our own assumptions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the valuation. When quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are available, we use these quoted market prices to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and classify these assets and liabilities in Level 1. In other cases where a quoted market price for identical assets and liabilities in an active market is either not available or not observable, we estimate fair value using valuation methodologies based on available and observable market information or by using a matrix pricing model. These financial assets and liabilities would then be classified in Level 2. If quoted market prices are not available, we determine fair value using broker quotes or an internal analysis of each investment’s financial performance and cash flow projections. Thus, financial assets and liabilities may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that may be observable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt Securities – Where quoted prices are available in an active market, our debt securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our Level 1 debt securities are comprised primarily of U.S. Treasury securities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of our Level 2 debt securities are obtained using models such as matrix pricing, which use quoted market prices of debt securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows to estimate fair value. We review these prices to ensure they are based on observable market inputs that include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets and inputs that are observable but not prices (for example, interest rates and credit risks). We also review the methodologies and the assumptions used to calculate prices from these observable inputs. On a quarterly basis, we select a sample of our Level 2 debt securities’ prices and compare them to prices provided by a secondary source. Variances over a specified threshold are identified and reviewed to confirm the price provided by the primary source represents an appropriate estimate of fair value. In addition, our internal investment team consistently compares the prices obtained for select Level 2 debt securities to the team’s own independent estimates of fair value for those securities. We obtained one price for each of our Level 2 debt securities and did not adjust any of these prices at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We also value certain debt securities using Level 3 inputs. For Level 3 debt securities, fair values are determined by outside brokers or, in the case of certain private placement securities, are priced internally. Outside brokers determine the value of these debt securities through a combination of their knowledge of the current pricing environment and market flows. We obtained one non-binding broker quote for each of these Level 3 debt securities and did not adjust any of these quotes at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The total fair value of our broker quoted debt securities was approximately $124 million at March 31, 2015 and $126 million at December 31, 2014. Examples of these broker quoted Level 3 debt securities include certain U.S. and foreign corporate securities and certain of our commercial mortgage-backed securities as well as other asset-backed securities. For some of our private placement securities, our internal staff determines the value of these debt securities by analyzing spreads of corporate and sector indices as well as interest spreads of comparable public bonds. Examples of these private placement Level 3 debt securities include certain U.S. and foreign securities and certain tax-exempt municipal securities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity Securities – We currently have two classifications of equity securities: those that are publicly traded and those that are privately held. Our publicly-traded securities are classified in Level 1 because quoted prices are available for these securities in an active market. For privately-held equity securities, there is no active market; therefore, we classify these securities in Level 3 because we price these securities through an internal analysis of each investment’s financial statements and cash flow projections. Significant unobservable inputs consist of earnings and revenue multiples, discount for lack of marketability and comparability adjustments. An increase or decrease in any of these unobservable inputs would result in a change in the fair value measurement, which may be significant. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives – Where quoted prices are available in an active market, our derivatives are classified in Level 1. Certain of our derivative instruments are valued using models that primarily use market observable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 2 because they are traded in markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value in our Balance Sheets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for estimating the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are carried on our balance sheets at adjusted cost or contract value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage loans: Fair values are estimated by discounting expected mortgage loan cash flows at market rates that reflect the rates at which similar loans would be made to similar borrowers. These rates reflect our assessment of the credit worthiness of the borrower and the remaining duration of the loans. The fair value estimates of mortgage loans of lower credit quality, including problem and restructured loans, are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bank loans: Where fair value is determined by quoted market prices of bank loans with similar characteristics, our bank loans are classified in Level 2. For bank loans classified in Level 3, fair value is determined by outside brokers using their internal analyses through a combination of their knowledge of the current pricing environment and market flows. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity securities: Certain of our equity securities are carried at cost. The fair values of our cost-method investments are not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investment contract liabilities: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
•With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at interest rates currently | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
being offered by, or available to, us for similar contracts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
•Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the contract holder upon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
demand. However, we have the right under such contracts to delay payment of withdrawals that | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
may ultimately result in paying an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-term debt: Fair values are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issued debt or, if no quoted market prices are available, on the current rates estimated to be available to us for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The carrying value and estimated fair value classified by level of fair value hierarchy for certain of our financial instruments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) | It was not practical to estimate the fair value of these cost-method investments as it represents shares of unlisted companies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Separate Accounts Measured at Fair Value in our Balance Sheets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Separate Accounts assets in our Large Case Pensions business represent funds maintained to meet specific objectives of contract holders. Since contract holders bear the investment risk of these assets, a corresponding Separate Accounts liability has been established equal to the assets. These assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. Net investment income and capital gains and losses accrue directly to such contract holders. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims arising from our other businesses. Deposits, withdrawals, net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on Separate Accounts assets are not reflected in our statements of income, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Separate Accounts assets include debt and equity securities and derivative instruments. The valuation methodologies used for these assets are similar to the methodologies described beginning on page 19. Separate Accounts assets also include investments in common/collective trusts that are carried at fair value. Common/collective trusts invest in other investment funds otherwise known as the underlying funds. The Separate Accounts’ interests in the common/collective trust funds are based on the fair values of the investments of the underlying funds and therefore are classified in Level 2. The assets in the underlying funds primarily consist of equity securities. Investments in common/collective trust funds are valued at their respective net asset value per share/unit on the valuation date. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Separate Accounts financial assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At March 31, 2015, we had approximately $297 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of .42%. At December 31, 2014, we had approximately $500 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of .30%. | ||||||||
We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the “FHLBB”), and as a member we have the ability to obtain cash advances, subject to certain minimum collateral requirements. Our maximum borrowing capacity available from the FHLBB at March 31, 2015 was approximately $850 million. At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any outstanding borrowings from the FHLBB. | ||||||||
Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||
In March 2014, we entered into two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $500 million. We designated these swaps as cash flow hedges against interest rate exposure related to the forecasted future issuance of fixed-rate debt to be primarily used to refinance long-term debt maturing in 2017. At March 31, 2015, these interest rate swaps had a pretax fair value loss of $69 million, which was reflected net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. | ||||||||
Revolving Credit Facility | ||||||||
On March 27, 2012, we entered into an unsecured $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several financial institutions. On September 24, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Coventry, we entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement and also entered into an Incremental Commitment Agreement (the “Incremental Commitment”). On March 2, 2015, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (together with the First Amendment, the Incremental Commitment and the Credit Agreement, resulting in the “Facility”). The Facility is an unsecured $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement. Upon our agreement with one or more financial institutions, we may expand the aggregate commitments under the Facility to a maximum of $2.5 billion. The Facility also provides for the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit at our request, which count as usage of the available commitments under the Facility. In both 2013 and 2014, we extended the maturity date of the Facility by one year. On March 2, 2015, we extended the maturity date of the Facility by an additional year to March 27, 2020. | ||||||||
Various interest rate options are available under the Facility. Any revolving borrowings mature on the termination date of the Facility. We pay facility fees on the Facility ranging from .050% to .150% per annum, depending upon our long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The facility fee was .100% at March 31, 2015. The Facility contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of total debt to consolidated capitalization as of the end of each fiscal quarter at or below 50%. For this purpose, consolidated capitalization equals the sum of total shareholders’ equity, excluding any overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and OPEB plans and any net unrealized capital gains and losses, and total debt (as defined in the Facility). We met this requirement at March 31, 2015. There were no amounts outstanding under the Facility at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. |

On November 21, 2014 and February 28, 2014, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized two separate share repurchase programs of our common stock of up to $1.0 billion each. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased approximately 2 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $196 million. At March 31, 2015, we had remaining authorization to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately $1.2 billion of common stock under the November 21, 2014 and February 28, 2014 programs. The repurchases are effected from time to time in the open market, through negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase agreements, and through plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. | |||||||||||
As described above, from time to time we enter into accelerated share repurchase agreements with unrelated third party financial institutions. The number of shares repurchased under each agreement is based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the purchase period. We completed the following accelerated share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2015: | |||||||||||

Under the share repurchase program authorized by our Board, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with an unrelated third party financial institution on March 2, 2015 to repurchase an aggregate of $100 million of our outstanding common stock during April 2015. The final number of shares repurchased under the agreement will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the purchase period. | |||||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 our Board declared the following cash dividend: | |||||||||||

Declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change. | |||||||||||
On March 2, 2015, approximately .3 million PSUs, 1.1 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 1.9 million SARs were granted to certain employees. The number of vested PSUs (which could range from zero to 200% of the original number of units granted) is dependent upon the degree to which we achieve certain operating performance goals, as determined by our Board’s Committee on Compensation and Talent Management, during a three-year performance period which began January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2017. The vesting period for the PSUs ends on March 2, 2018. Each vested PSU and RSU represents one share of common stock and will be paid in shares of common stock, net of taxes, at the end of the applicable vesting period. The RSUs generally will become 100% vested approximately three years from the grant date, with one-third vesting each December. The SARs, if exercised by the employee, will be settled in common stock, net of taxes, based on the appreciation of our common stock price over $100.50 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. SARs will generally become 100% vested approximately three years from the grant date, with one-third vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. | |||||||||||
The SARs granted to certain employees during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 had an estimated fair market value of $32.13 and $22.68 per unit, respectively. The fair value per unit was calculated on each respective grant date using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014: | |||||||||||
2015 | 2014 | ||||||||||

Dividend yield | 1.13 | % | 1.36 | % | |||||||
Initial price | $ | 100.5 | $ | 72.26 | |||||||
The expected term is based on historical equity award activity. Volatility is based on a weighted average of the historical volatility of our stock price and implied volatility from traded options on our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury rate with a life equal to the expected life of the SARs grant. This rate was calculated by interpolating between the 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury rates for each respective period. The dividend yield is based on our historical dividends in the 12 months prior to the grant date. |

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings | |
Out-of-Network Benefit Proceedings | |
We are named as a defendant in several purported class actions and individual lawsuits arising out of our practices related to the payment of claims for services rendered to our members by health care providers with whom we do not have a contract (“out-of-network providers”). Among other things, these lawsuits allege that we paid too little to our health plan members and/or providers for these services, among other reasons, because of our use of data provided by Ingenix, Inc., a subsidiary of one of our competitors (“Ingenix”). Other major health insurers are the subject of similar litigation or have settled similar litigation. | |
Various plaintiffs who are health care providers or medical associations seek to represent nationwide classes of out-of-network providers who provided services to our members during the period from 2001 to the present. Various plaintiffs who are members in our health plans seek to represent nationwide classes of our members who received services from out-of-network providers during the period from 2001 to the present. Taken together, these lawsuits allege that we violated state law, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and federal antitrust laws, either acting alone or in concert with our competitors. The purported classes seek reimbursement of all unpaid benefits, recalculation and repayment of deductible and coinsurance amounts, unspecified damages and treble damages, statutory penalties, injunctive and declaratory relief, plus interest, costs and attorneys’ fees, and seek to disqualify us from acting as a fiduciary of any benefit plan that is subject to ERISA. Individual lawsuits that generally contain similar allegations and seek similar relief have been brought by health plan members and out-of-network providers. | |
The first class action case was commenced on July 30, 2007. The federal Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (the “MDL Panel”) has consolidated these class action cases in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “New Jersey District Court”) under the caption In re: Aetna UCR Litigation, MDL No. 2020 (“MDL 2020”). In addition, the MDL Panel has transferred the individual lawsuits to MDL 2020. On May 9, 2011, the New Jersey District Court dismissed the physician plaintiffs from MDL 2020 without prejudice. The New Jersey District Court’s action followed a ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Florida District Court”) that the physician plaintiffs were enjoined from participating in MDL 2020 due to a prior settlement and release. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has dismissed the physician plaintiffs’ appeal of the Florida District Court’s ruling. | |
On December 6, 2012, we entered into an agreement to settle MDL 2020. Under the terms of the proposed nationwide settlement, we would have been released from claims relating to our out-of-network reimbursement practices from the beginning of the applicable settlement class period through August 30, 2013. The settlement agreement did not contain an admission of wrongdoing. The medical associations were not parties to the settlement agreement. | |
Under the settlement agreement, we would have paid up to $120 million to fund claims submitted by health plan members and health care providers who were members of the settlement classes. These payments also would have funded the legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and the costs of administering the settlement. In connection with the proposed settlement, the Company recorded an after-tax charge to net income attributable to Aetna of approximately $78 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. | |
The settlement agreement provided us the right to terminate the agreement under certain conditions related to settlement class members who opted out of the settlement. Based on a report provided to the parties by the settlement administrator, the conditions permitting us to terminate the settlement agreement were satisfied. On March 13, 2014, we notified the New Jersey District Court and plaintiffs’ counsel that we were terminating the settlement agreement. Various legal and factual developments since the date of the settlement agreement led us to believe terminating the settlement agreement was in our best interests. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims brought by the plaintiffs. As a result of this termination, we released the reserve established in connection with the settlement agreement, net of amounts due to the settlement administrator, which reduced first quarter 2014 other general and administrative expenses by $67.0 million ($103.0 million pretax). | |
We also have received subpoenas and/or requests for documents and other information from, and been investigated by, attorneys general and other state and/or federal regulators, legislators and agencies relating to our out-of-network benefit payment and administration practices. It is reasonably possible that others could initiate additional litigation or additional regulatory action against us with respect to our out-of-network benefit payment and/or administration practices. | |
CMS Actions | |
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regularly audits our performance to determine our compliance with CMS’s regulations and our contracts with CMS and to assess the quality of services we provide to Medicare beneficiaries. CMS uses various payment mechanisms to allocate and adjust premium payments to our and other companies’ Medicare plans by considering the applicable health status of Medicare members as supported by information prepared, maintained and provided by health care providers. We collect claim and encounter data from providers and generally rely on providers to appropriately code their submissions to us and document their medical records, including the diagnosis data submitted to us with claims. CMS pays increased premiums to Medicare Advantage plans and prescription drug program plans for members who have certain medical conditions identified with specific diagnosis codes. Federal regulators review and audit the providers’ medical records to determine whether those records support the related diagnosis codes that determine the members’ health status and the resulting risk-adjusted premium payments to us. In that regard, CMS has instituted risk adjustment data validation (“RADV”) audits of various Medicare Advantage plans, including certain of the Company’s plans, to validate coding practices and supporting medical record documentation maintained by health care providers and the resulting risk adjusted premium payments to the plans. CMS may require us to refund premium payments if our risk adjusted premiums are not properly supported by medical record data. The Office of Inspector General (the “OIG”) also is auditing risk adjustment data of other companies, and we expect CMS and the OIG to continue auditing risk adjustment data. | |
CMS revised its audit methodology for RADV audits to determine refunds payable by Medicare Advantage plans for contract year 2011 and forward. Under the revised methodology, among other things, CMS will project the error rate identified in the audit sample of approximately 200 members to all risk adjusted premium payments made under the contract being audited. Historically, CMS did not project sample error rates to the entire contract. As a result, the revised methodology may increase our exposure to premium refunds to CMS based on incomplete medical records maintained by providers. During 2013, CMS selected certain of our Medicare Advantage contracts for contract year 2011 for audit. We are currently unable to predict which of our Medicare Advantage contracts will be selected for future audit, the amounts of any retroactive refunds of, or prospective adjustments to, Medicare Advantage premium payments made to us, the effect of any such refunds or adjustments on the actuarial soundness of our Medicare Advantage bids, or whether any RADV audit findings would cause a change to our method of estimating future premium revenue in future bid submissions to CMS or compromise premium assumptions made in our bids for prior contract years or the current contract year. Any premium or fee refunds or adjustments resulting from regulatory audits, whether as a result of RADV, Public Exchange related or other audits by CMS, the OIG, HHS or otherwise, including audits of our minimum medical loss ratio rebates, methodology and/or reports, could be material and could adversely affect our operating results, financial position and cash flows. | |
Other Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings | |
We are involved in numerous other lawsuits arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of our business operations, including claims of or relating to bad faith, medical malpractice, non-compliance with state and federal regulatory regimes, marketing misconduct, failure to timely or appropriately pay or administer claims and benefits in our Health Care and Group Insurance businesses (including our post-payment audit and collection practices and reductions in payments to providers due to sequestration), provider network structure (including the use of performance-based networks and termination of provider contracts), provider directory accuracy, rescission of insurance coverage, improper disclosure of personal information, anticompetitive practices, patent infringement and other intellectual property litigation, other legal proceedings in our Health Care and Group Insurance businesses and employment litigation. Some of these other lawsuits are or are purported to be class actions. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims brought in these matters. | |
Awards to us and others of certain government contracts, particularly in our Medicaid business, are subject to increasingly frequent protests by unsuccessful bidders. These protests may result in awards to us being reversed, delayed or modified. The loss or delay in implementation of any government contract could adversely affect our operating results. We will continue to defend vigorously contract awards we receive. | |
In addition, our operations, current and past business practices, current and past contracts, and accounts and other books and records are subject to routine, regular and special investigations, audits, examinations and reviews by, and from time to time we receive subpoenas and other requests for information from, CMS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, various state insurance and health care regulatory authorities, state attorneys general and offices of inspector general, the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, OIG, the Office of Personnel Management, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, committees, subcommittees and members of the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. attorneys and other state, federal and international governmental authorities. These government actions include inquiries by, and testimony before, certain members, committees and subcommittees of the U.S. Congress regarding certain of our current and past business practices, including our overall claims processing and payment practices, our business practices with respect to our small group products, student health products or individual customers (such as market withdrawals, rating information, premium increases and medical benefit ratios), executive compensation matters and travel and entertainment expenses, as well as the investigations by, and subpoenas and requests from, attorneys general and others described above under “Out-of-Network Benefit Proceedings.” | |
A significant number of states are investigating life insurers’ claims payment and related escheat practices, and these investigations have resulted in significant charges to earnings by other life insurers in connection with related settlements. We have received requests for information from a number of states, and certain of our subsidiaries are being audited, with respect to our life insurance claim payment and related escheat practices. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we made changes to our life insurance claim payment practices (including related escheatment practices) based on evolving industry practices and regulatory expectations and interpretations, including expanding our existing use of the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File to identify additional potentially unclaimed death benefits and locate applicable beneficiaries. As a result of these changes, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we increased our estimated liability for unpaid life insurance claims with respect to insureds who passed away on or before December 31, 2013, and recorded in current and future benefits a charge of $35.7 million ($55.0 million pretax). Given the legal and regulatory uncertainty with respect to life insurance claim payment and related escheat practices, it is reasonably possible that we may incur additional liability related to those practices, whether as a result of further changes in our business practices, litigation, government actions or otherwise, which could adversely affect our operating results and cash flows. | |
There also continues to be a heightened level of review by regulatory authorities of, and increased litigation regarding, our and the rest of the health care and related benefits industry’s business and reporting practices, including premium rate increases, utilization management, development and application of medical policies, complaint, grievance and appeal processing, information privacy, provider network structure (including provider network adequacy, the use of performance-based networks and termination of provider contracts), provider directory accuracy, calculation of minimum medical loss ratios, delegated arrangements, rescission of insurance coverage, limited benefit health products, student health products, pharmacy benefit management practices (including the use of narrow networks and the placement of drugs in formulary tiers), sales practices, customer service practices, and claim payment practices (including payments to out-of-network providers and payments on life insurance policies). | |
As a leading national health and related benefits company, we regularly are the subject of government actions of the types described above. These government actions may prevent or delay us from implementing planned premium rate increases and may result, and have resulted, in restrictions on our business, changes to or clarifications of our business practices, retroactive adjustments to premiums, refunds or other payments to members, beneficiaries, states or the federal government, withholding of premium payments to us by government agencies, assessments of damages, civil or criminal fines or penalties, or other sanctions, including the possible suspension or loss of licensure and/or suspension or exclusion from participation in government programs. | |
Estimating the probable losses or a range of probable losses resulting from litigation, government actions and other legal proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, may involve fines, penalties or punitive damages that are discretionary in amount, involve a large number of claimants or regulatory authorities, represent a change in regulatory policy, present novel legal theories, are in the early stages of the proceedings, are subject to appeal or could result in a change in business practices. In addition, because most legal proceedings are resolved over long periods of time, potential losses are subject to change due to, among other things, new developments, changes in litigation strategy, the outcome of intermediate procedural and substantive rulings and other parties’ settlement posture and their evaluation of the strength or weakness of their case against us. Except as specifically noted above under “Other Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings,” we are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of, or reasonably estimate the losses or a range of losses resulting from, the matters described above, and it is reasonably possible that their outcome could be material to us. |

Reinsurance | 14. Reinsurance |
In January 2015, we entered into three-year reinsurance agreements with Vitality Re VI Limited, an unrelated insurer. The agreements allow us to reduce our required capital and provide $200 million of collateralized excess of loss reinsurance coverage on a portion of Aetna’s group Commercial Insured Health Care business. The Company’s similar reinsurance agreements with Vitality Re III Limited expired in January 2015. |

Discontinued Products [Abstract] | ||||||||
Discontinued Products | ||||||||
15 | Discontinued Products | |||||||
Prior to 1993, we sold single-premium annuities (“SPAs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”), primarily to employer sponsored pension plans. In 1993, we discontinued selling these products to Large Case Pensions customers, and now we refer to these products as discontinued products. | ||||||||
We discontinued selling these products because they were generating losses for us, and we projected that they would continue to generate losses over their life (which is currently greater than 30 years for SPAs); so we established a reserve for anticipated future losses at the time of discontinuance. At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our remaining GIC liability was not material. This reserve represents the present value (at the risk-free rate of return at the time of discontinuance, consistent with the duration of the liabilities) of the difference between the expected cash flows from the assets supporting these products and the cash flows expected to be required to meet the obligations of the outstanding contracts. | ||||||||
Key assumptions in setting the reserve for anticipated future losses include future investment results, payments to retirees, mortality and retirement rates and the cost of asset management and customer service. In 2014, we modified the mortality tables used in order to reflect the more up-to-date 2014 Retired Pensioner’s Mortality table. The mortality tables were previously modified in 2012, in order to reflect the more up-to-date 2000 Retired Pensioner’s Mortality table, and in 1995, in order to reflect the more up-to-date 1994 Uninsured Pensioner’s Mortality table. In 1997, we began the use of a bond default assumption to reflect historical default experience. Other than these changes, since 1993 there have been no significant changes to the assumptions underlying the reserve. | ||||||||
We review the adequacy of this reserve quarterly based on actual experience. As long as our expected future losses remain consistent with prior projections, the results of the discontinued products are applied against the reserve and do not impact net income attributable to Aetna. If actual or expected future losses are greater than we currently estimate, we may increase the reserve, which could adversely impact net income attributable to Aetna. If actual or expected future losses are less than we currently estimate, we may decrease the reserve, which could favorably impact net income attributable to Aetna. The reserve at each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 reflects management’s best estimate of anticipated future losses, and is included in future policy benefits on our balance sheet. | ||||||||
The activity in the reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (pretax): | ||||||||
(Millions) | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Reserve, beginning of period | $ | 1,014.70 | $ | 979.5 | ||||
Operating income | 3.1 | 5.8 | ||||||
Net realized capital gains | 19 | 6.3 | ||||||
Reserve, end of period | $ | 1,036.80 | $ | 991.6 | ||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our discontinued products reflected operating income and net realized capital gains, primarily attributable to gains from the sale of debt securities and investment real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our discontinued products reflected operating income and net realized capital gains, primarily attributable to gains from the sale of debt securities. We evaluated these results against the expectations of future cash flows assumed in estimating the reserve for anticipated future losses and did not believe that an adjustment to the reserve was required at March 31, 2015 or 2014. | ||||||||
Assets and liabilities supporting discontinued products at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as | ||||||||
follows: (1) | ||||||||
(Millions) | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||

Total liabilities | $ | 4,310.00 | $ | 4,305.30 | ||||
(1) | Assets supporting the discontinued products are distinguished from assets supporting continuing products. | |||||||
(2) | At the time of discontinuance, a receivable from Large Case Pensions’ continuing products was established on the discontinued products balance sheet. This receivable represented the net present value of anticipated cash shortfalls in the discontinued products, which will be funded from continuing products. Interest on the receivable is accrued at the discount rate that was used to calculate the reserve. The offsetting payable, on which interest is similarly accrued, is reflected in continuing products. Interest on the payable generally offsets investment income on the assets available to fund the shortfall. These amounts are eliminated in consolidation. | |||||||
(3) | Net unrealized capital gains on the available-for-sale debt securities are included in other liabilities and are not reflected in consolidated shareholders’ equity. | |||||||
The distributions on our discontinued products consisted of scheduled contract maturities, settlements and benefit payments of $91 million and $97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. There were no participant-directed withdrawals from our discontinued products during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. Cash required to fund these distributions was provided by earnings and scheduled payments on, and sales of, invested assets. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Interim Financial Statements | Interim Financial Statements |
These interim financial statements necessarily rely on estimates, including assumptions as to annualized tax rates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2014 Annual Report”). Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. We have omitted certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures in our 2014 Annual Report, unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed and is required by GAAP. We evaluated subsequent events that occurred after March 31, 2015 through the date the financial statements were issued and determined there were no other items to disclose other than as disclosed in Note 10 beginning on page 27. | |

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Aetna and the subsidiaries we control. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Health Care Reform | Accounting for certain provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, “Health Care Reform” or the “ACA”) |
We are participating in certain public health insurance exchanges established pursuant to Health Care Reform (“Public Exchanges”). Under regulations established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), HHS pays us a portion of the premium (“Premium Subsidy”) and a portion of the health care costs (“Cost Sharing Subsidy”) for low-income individual Public Exchange members. In addition, HHS administers certain risk management programs as described below. | |
We recognize monthly premiums received from Public Exchange members and the Premium Subsidy as premium revenue ratably over the contract period. The Cost Sharing Subsidy offsets health care costs when incurred. We record a liability if the Cost Sharing Subsidy is paid in advance or a receivable if incurred health care costs exceed the Cost Sharing Subsidy received to date. | |
Accounting for Health Care Reform’s Reinsurance, Risk Adjustment and Risk Corridor (the “3Rs”) | |
Reinsurance | |
Health Care Reform established a temporary three-year reinsurance program, under which all issuers of major medical commercial insurance products and self-insured plan sponsors are required to contribute funding in amounts set by HHS. Funds collected will be utilized to reimburse issuers’ high claims costs incurred for qualified individual members. The expense related to this required funding is reflected in general and administrative expenses for all of our insurance products with the exception of products associated with qualified individual members; this expense for qualified individual members is reflected as a reduction of premium revenue. When annual claim costs incurred by our qualified individual members exceed a specified attachment point, we are entitled to certain reimbursements from this program. We record a receivable and offset health care costs to reflect our estimate of these recoveries. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a receivable under the temporary three-year reinsurance program of approximately $385 million and $338 million, respectively. | |
Risk Adjustment | |
Health Care Reform established a permanent risk adjustment program to transfer funds from qualified individual and small group insurance plans with below average risk scores to plans with above average risk scores. Based on the risk of our qualified plan members relative to the average risk of members of other qualified plans in comparable markets, we estimate our ultimate risk adjustment receivable or payable and reflect the pro-rata year-to-date impact as an adjustment to our premium revenue. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a net payable of approximately $428 million and $230 million, respectively, under the risk adjustment program. | |
Risk Corridor | |
Health Care Reform established a temporary three-year risk sharing program for qualified individual and small group insurance plans. Under this program we make (or receive) a payment to (or from) HHS based on the ratio of allowable costs to target costs (as defined by Health Care Reform). We record a risk corridor receivable or payable as an adjustment to premium revenue on a pro-rata year-to-date basis based on our estimate of the ultimate risk sharing amount. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not record any Health Care Reform risk corridor receivables because payments from HHS under this program are uncertain, and we recorded an immaterial Health Care Reform risk corridor payable at each respective date. | |
We expect to perform an annual final reconciliation and settlement with HHS of the Cost Sharing Subsidy and 3Rs in each subsequent year. |

(1) | In addition to net realized capital gains and amortization of other acquired intangible assets, the following other items are excluded from operating earnings because we believe they neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance: | |||||||||||||||||||
• | We incurred transaction and integration-related costs of $30.7 million ($45.6 million pretax) during the three months ended March 31, 2015, related to the acquisitions of Coventry, InterGlobal and bswift, and integration-related costs of $41.9 million ($63.7 million pretax) during the three months ended March 31, 2014, related to the acquisition of Coventry. Transaction costs include advisory, legal and other professional fees which are not deductible for tax purposes and are reflected in our GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||||||||||||
• | We incurred a loss on the early extinguishment of long-term debt of $59.7 million ($91.9 million pretax) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the redemption of our 6.0% senior notes due 2016. | |||||||||||||||||||
• | We recorded a charge of $78.0 million ($120.0 million pretax) during the three months ended December 31, 2012 related to the settlement of purported class action litigation regarding our payment practices related to out-of-network health care providers. That charge included the estimated cost of legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel and the costs of administering the settlement. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we exercised our right to terminate the settlement agreement. As a result, we released the reserve established in connection with the settlement agreement, net of amounts due to the settlement administrator, which reduced other general and administrative expenses by $67.0 million ($103.0 million pretax) in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

[1] | Investment risks associated with our experience-rated and discontinued products generally do not impact our operating results (refer to Note 15 beginning on page 33 for additional information on our accounting for discontinued products). At MarchB 31, 2015, debt and equity securities with a fair value of approximately $3.7 billion, gross unrealized capital gains of $428.1 million and gross unrealized capital losses of $9.7 million and, at DecemberB 31, 2014, debt and equity securities with a fair value of approximately $3.6 billion, gross unrealized capital gains of $391.3 million and gross unrealized capital losses of $16.7 million were included in total debt and equity securities, but support our experience-rated and discontinued products. Changes in net unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are not reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. | ||||
[2] | It was not practical to estimate the fair value of these cost-method investments as it represents shares of unlisted companies. |
