MORE COST SAVINGS WITH AETNA'S EARLY RENEWAL OPTION

Aetna's Premium Savings program is an early renewal option and a way you can provide cost savings to your clients. Even if your clients have already renewed their policy this year, there is still time to take advantage of the savings. This option is offered to all renewing and new business clients!

Options to consider for your clients who may benefit from this offer:

Elect an off-cycle renewal September 1 - December 1, 2013 and keep current benefits and rate levels in place for the following twelve months.

Maintain current renewal cycle in 2014 and move to the ACA based plans and rates.

Clients may benefit by moving to Aetna due to competitive rates that remain constant from July 2013 through December 2014.

Advance notice is required for Groups who are interested in participating in the Premium Savings program:

Groups with an upcoming August - December renewal need to provide acceptance 30 days prior to their current renewal date.
