The Value of Integration

Health care savings rock Cleveland.

Businesses across Northern Ohio can reduce their health insurance costs by integrating Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, and Disability insurance from Aetna. That’s because integration allows for an earlier exchange of information to help people better manage chronic conditions and improve their health outcomes. And to help Cleveland employees make smarter spending decisions, Aetna is the only insurer to offer them information about a doctor’s costs and performance ratings before their visit.* To learn more, call your broker or Aetna representative.

©2007 Aetna Inc. Plans are offered by Aetna Life Insurance Company. Plans contain exclusions and limitations. *Members can only view rates and performance ratings for participating physicians and physician groups. Service is available to Aetna members today within DocFind® when they log into Aetna Navigator™ at aetna.com. 200736-03-07 CCLB 12-31-07 A 54 CCLB 12/17/2007 3:01 PM Page 1
