Aetna and Coventry plan sponsors with insured medical products and fewer than 200 eligible employees will receive a letter requesting their Total Average Employee (TAE) count for calendar year 2016. Aetna will use this information to place the plan sponsor in the right pool for MLR reporting and rebate administration (for 2017 experience year rebates in 2018).
The plan sponsors who do not respond will receive up to two follow-up letters. Letters will provide specific instructions for plan sponsors to reply through an online portal at www.aetna.com, or they can respond by mail using the paper response card and postage-paid envelope provided in the letters. Response to these letters is requested by April 27, 2017.
