Aetna, owned and operated by CVS, has decided to exit the ACA market in 2026. CVS Health’s first quarter report states “The company decided to exit the individual exchange business where Aetna independently operates ACA plans for 2026. This decision is consistent with others taken this year to focus the company’s portfolio. The company is best able to serve members through its other health benefit solutions, which offer access to quality care, affordable health benefits and exceptional service. The company will continue delivering superior service and support to its individual exchange members through 2025 and residual activities in 2026.”
