Aetna’s Short Term/Long-term Disability benefits are the worst. You pay for it- oh yeah, you pay. Try an employee of over 10 yrs filing one claim and not get pd for the last 4 months. (one denial as the Dr didn't put my resting blood pressure rate down!) Don't believe what they tell you about the IHD (Integrated Health Disability “Model”). It’s suppose to help manage your medical and any potential disability you might face. It’s a lie! It doesn't work! They've been my company’s medical ins provider for years and the only info they conveniently find hurts me. literally- hurts me. I've almost lost my car, my mortgage is months past due…They play legalese word games, if you aren't a lawyer you'll need one….look up complaints against Aetna Life Insurance on the web. I located where they've been fined tens of thousands of dollars (recently in Texas) for violations. They are Evil—- be warned.

**** Above is a posting I listed to complain about Aetna's STD/LTD issues to one of their new clients.

every word of it true. Can you provide me any in-site or suggested direction?

Welcome in the club. My wife is sick to the bone (Fibromyalgia + Depression) since 3 1/2 months and 3 of her regular doctors sent their reports, stating that she is unable to work (she can hardly take care of herself) - and Aetna is telling us the same bulshit about "clinically managing the case".  

We try to get the Insurance Commisioner to help us.  

All that Aetna is doing is lossing our faxes and mails, sending standard rejection letters after 4-5 months and hope that the finacially drained patient will either die in the process or drag back to work. This behavior has a method and I wished they would be punished hard.
