Aetna Story: Building a healthier world

2013 was a historic year for Aetna. We produced record results and successfully closed on our acquisition of Coventry Health Care. The aquistion has significantly improved our market position in both the commercial and government markets. Our larger geographic reach will enable us to strengthen our commitment to build a healthier world by working with others to redesign our health care system around the consumer. Delivering on this goal will not only improve the health of people around the world, but it will also increase the productivity of global economies and lead to healthier communities.

Our annual operating revenues of $47.2 billion increased 33 percent from 2012 and set a company record. Operating earnings of $2.1 billion and medical membership of nearly 22.2 million are also at all-time highs. Our diversified portfolio continues to be a source of strength and presents us with strong platforms for growth, both nationally and around the globe.

Our strategic plan for 2013 consisted of successfully integrating the Coventry acquisition, building out our new provider model called accountable care solutions and growing our core businesses. I am pleased to report that we exceeded our goals. We successfully reached our synergy targets with the Coventry acquisition. We completed more provider collaborations with over 32 accountable care organizations in operation, and a robust pipeline for 2014 and beyond. Our core businesses grew market share and increased medical membership by 4 million members from the acquisition of Coventry and very strong results coming from our government products. The success of these efforts is demonstrated by our 14 percent growth in operating earnings per share year over year, well in excess of our long-term objective. This year we also launched our health insurance exchange offerings. While implementation of the government’s public exchanges has been rocky, we remain committed to the principle of increasing health care access across the country through guaranteed coverage. We believe that private and proprietary exchanges present an even greater opportunity for us in

the long term as they will provide greater choice, customization and flexibility to consumers. Finally, we returned $1.7 billion of capital to our shareholders in share buybacks and dividends.

At Aetna, we believe health care as an industry is primed for revolutionary disruption. Value-based provider payment models will continue to proliferate, and retail marketplaces will grow as employers shift to defined contribution arrangements. These changes will result in a consumer-empowered health care system.

Because the health care sector is positioned for accelerated rates of change, we are well-positioned to create significant value for our shareholders and customers. As we look to 2014, we are committed to improving the consumer experience, providing not just access to quality health care but improved health. We are committed to offering consumers integrated, digital tools that will empower them with the convenience and control to manage their health. We are enabling providers to deliver on this new model of care through technology that seamlessly connects the health care community here and abroad.

One of our core values at Aetna is caring. Our more than 48,000 employees demonstrate this value every day by meeting the needs of our customers and serving their communities. We look forward to 2014 and believe Aetna’s future has never been stronger. I feel confident that we have the team and the resources to deliver on our commitment to improve the health of those we serve here and around the world.

Thank you for joining us on our journey to create healthier communities, a healthier nation and a healthier world. We are grateful for your support and continued investment in Aetna.

A message from Chairman, CEO and President Mark T. Bertolini

Who we areAetna is one of the nation’s leading diversified health care benefits companies, serving an estimated 44 million people with information and resources to help them make better decisions about their health care.

We offer a broad range of traditional, voluntary and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services. We offer medical, pharmacy, dental, behavioral health, and group life and disability plans. We also offer medical management capabilities, Medicaid health care management services, workers’ compensation administrative services and health information technology products and services.

Locally, nationally and internationally, we continue to innovate and grow our available products and services:• Our commercial business provides health benefits for more

than 19.2 million of our 22.7 million medical members as we continue to expand our consumer-directed plan options and network access products. To meet the needs of a changing

marketplace, we offer a growing number of self-insured options, particularly in the middle market, and plans for individuals and small businesses in the new health insurance marketplaces or exchanges, as well as private exchanges.

• We are one of the nation’s largest combined Medicare Advantage, Medicare prescription drug plan and Medicaid businesses, and our Medicaid footprint now covers 15 states. Reflecting the quality and value we deliver, we have a higher percentage of members in four-star or greater plans in the Medicare star rating program than any of our national peers.

• Our Coventry acquisition in 2013 added medical membership that enhanced our diversified portfolio, increased our presence in government programs and improved our positioning and reach in local areas.

We serve a broad array of customers. They include employer groups, individuals, college students, part-time and hourly workers, health plans, health care providers, governmental units, government-sponsored plans, labor groups and expatriates.

Members:

As a nation, we deserve a better health care system, one that delivers quality care at an affordable cost. We are building a simpler, more integrated system that makes the right care at the right time possible, with less duplication and hassle.

Connecting consumers using mobile access to health care information

We are transforming the consumer experience with powerful health care information that consumers can easily access with a mobile device.

We make it easy to connect consumers and their care teams so that they can get the data and analytics to make better clinical decisions.

• Through HealthagenSM, an Aetna company, we help providers connect meaningfully to one another and give them tools to help improve the quality of patient care.

• We also give consumers simple, convenient mobile and online services — such as the iTriage® app — that make it easy to get the care that best meets their needs. The CarePass® platform is a digital health and wellness platform that is open to all consumers.

• In 2013, we continued to expand what our tools can do. For example, we added the Care4TodayTM* Mobile Health Manager app to our CarePass digital platform to help members better track their medication usage and stay on schedule.

Building a simpler, more integrated health care system

We collaborate with doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and labs, and others to build a simpler, more integrated health care system.

Our focus and incentives are designed to improve health and lower the overall cost of care.

• In 2013, we continued to advance the shift toward better integrated, accountable care models. More than 1.5 million medical members** get care through the spectrum of our value-based networks, including 32 accountable care organization collaborations, 112 patient-centered medical homes, 112 Medicare Advantage collaborations and 88 high-performance networks acquired through Coventry.

• As a key part of our Accountable Care Solutions approach, we have embedded a number of our nurse case managers in the offices of health care providers who support Aetna’s Medicare Advantage members. Their collaborative work with physicians helped earn our program a 2013 Case in Point Platinum Award.

• To enable better-coordinated cancer care and improved quality outcomes and costs, Aetna and Consultants in Medical Oncology and Hematology, PC, in 2013 launched a first-of-its-kind patient-centered medical home model for oncology.

Transforming the health care experience

Offering a simpler, more transparent consumer experience

We empower a healthier population through a simpler, more transparent consumer experience.

When consumers do need care, we offer wellness and care management programs supported by rich, personalized information to help them better manage their unique health care issues.

We enhanced our Healthy Lifestyle Coaching program in 2013 so that it now offers different strategies for success based on the unique preferences of the people we serve. As a result, we saw the following health improvements:

• 55 percent of program participants exercised more• 54 percent of program participants lost weight• 51 percent of program participants reduced stress

Aetna and the Hawn Foundation are working together to highlight initiatives that demonstrate how mindfulness programs can help people achieve better overall health by reducing stress. The Mindful Works collaboration also includes a research component to look at the impact of mindfulness on productivity, engagement and satisfaction.

In 2013, we developed important programs to help reduce the risk factors for metabolic syndrome. We launched Metabolic Health in Small Bytes and the Metabolic Health Advisor to help members better understand the condition and get screening tests.

Improving the health of the communities where we live and work

We are also committed to improving the health of communities where we live and work.

In 2013, Aetna and the Aetna Foundation awarded more than $20 million to nonprofit organizations across the U.S. focused on:

conditions• Building a more diverse generation of health care

professionals• Exploring innovative solutions to promote wellness

and achieve health equity for low-income and minority communities

Aetna employees, retirees and directors recognize the need to lend a helping hand. During 2013, they generously donated $6.8 million through the company’s matching gift program. In support of community initiatives, our employees also volunteered more than 401,000 hours of their time.
