Total Company Results
-
Net income(1) was $1.2 billion for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $791 million for second-quarter
2016. The significant increase in net income during second-quarter
2017 was primarily due to the increase in adjusted earnings described
below and lower transaction and integration-related costs in 2017
compared to 2016.
-
Adjusted earnings(2) were $1.1 billion for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $783 million for second-quarter
2016. The substantial increase in adjusted earnings during
second-quarter 2017 was primarily due to continued strong performance
in Aetna's Health Care segment. The increase also reflects a larger
decrease in Aetna's estimate of risk adjustment payables for the prior
year for its individual and small group ACA compliant products in the
second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016.
-
Total revenue and adjusted revenue(3)
were both $15.5 billion for the second-quarter 2017 and were
$16.0 billion and $15.9 billion, respectively, for second-quarter
2016. The decrease in total revenue and adjusted revenue during
second-quarter 2017 was primarily due to lower premiums in Aetna's
Health Care segment, including lower membership in Aetna's ACA
compliant individual and small group products, and the temporary
suspension of the health insurer fee ("HIF") in 2017.
-
Total company expense ratio was 16.4 percent and 17.5 percent
for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The adjusted
expense ratio(5) was 16.5 percent and 17.1 percent for the
second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The improvement in
both ratios during 2017 was primarily due to the temporary suspension
of the HIF in 2017 and the execution of Aetna's expense management
initiatives, partially offset by targeted investment spending on
Aetna's growth initiatives. The total company expense ratio also
improved due to lower transaction and integration-related costs in
second-quarter 2017 compared to 2016.
-
After-tax net income margin was 7.7 percent and 5.0 percent for
second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The adjusted pre-tax
margin(6) was 11.7 percent and 8.9 percent for the second
quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The improvement in both
second-quarter 2017 ratios was primarily due to continued strong
performance in Aetna's Health Care segment. The improvement in the
adjusted pre-tax margin was partially offset by the negative impact of
the temporary suspension of the HIF in 2017.
-
Total debt to consolidated capitalization ratio(7) was
37.3 percent at June 30, 2017 compared with 53.6 percent at
December 31, 2016. The total debt to consolidated capitalization ratio
at June 30, 2017 reflects the repayment of approximately $11.6 billion
aggregate principal amount of Aetna's senior notes during 2017.
-
Effective tax rate was 35.0 percent for second-quarter 2017
compared with 41.4 percent for second-quarter 2016. The decrease in
Aetna's effective tax rate for second-quarter 2017 was primarily due
to the temporary suspension of the non-deductible HIF in 2017.
Health Care Segment Results
Health Care, which provides a full range of insured and self-insured
medical, pharmacy, dental and behavioral health products and services,
reported:
-
Income before income taxes(1) of $1.7 billion for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $1.3 billion for second-quarter
2016. Pre-tax adjusted earnings(2) were $1.8 billion for
the second-quarter 2017 compared with $1.3 billion for second-quarter
2016. The increase in both income before income taxes and pre-tax
adjusted earnings was primarily due to continued strong performance
across Aetna's core Health Care businesses. The increase also reflects
Aetna's updated estimate of risk adjustment payables for the prior
year for individual and small group ACA compliant products described
above.
-
Total revenue and adjusted revenue(3) were both $14.8
billion for second-quarter 2017 and both $15.2 billion for
second-quarter 2016. The decrease in total revenue and adjusted
revenue was primarily due to lower membership in Aetna's ACA compliant
individual and small group products and the temporary suspension of
the HIF in 2017, partially offset by higher premium yields in Aetna's
Commercial and Government businesses and membership growth in Aetna's
Medicare products.
-
Medical membership at June 30, 2017 decreased by 358 thousand compared
with March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily reflects declines in
Aetna's Medicaid products primarily due to the exit of the Missouri
Medicaid program during second-quarter 2017 and declines in Aetna's
Commercial Insured products primarily due to lower membership in
Aetna's ACA compliant individual and small group products. The
decrease was partially offset by increases in Aetna's Commercial ASC
and Medicare Insured products.
-
Medical benefit ratios ("MBRs") for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

-
Aetna's second-quarter 2017 Commercial MBR decreased compared with
second-quarter 2016 primarily due to improved performance across
Aetna's core Commercial business. The decrease also reflects Aetna's
updated estimate of risk adjustment payables for the prior year for
individual and small group ACA compliant products described above. The
decrease was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the
temporary suspension of the HIF in 2017.
-
Aetna's second-quarter 2017 Government MBR remained relatively flat
compared with second-quarter 2016 primarily due to improved
performance in Aetna's Government business, largely offset by the
unfavorable impact of the temporary suspension of the HIF in 2017.
-
In second-quarter 2017, Aetna experienced favorable development of
prior-period health care cost estimates in its Medicare, Commercial
and Medicaid products, primarily attributable to first-quarter 2017
performance.
-
Prior year's health care costs payable estimates developed favorably
by $750 million and $709 million during the first six months of 2017
and 2016, respectively. This development is reported on a basis
consistent with the prior years' development reported in the health
care costs payable table in Aetna's annual audited financial
statements, and does not directly correspond to an increase in 2017
operating results.
-
Days claims payable(7) was 54 days at June 30, 2017,
a sequential increase of one day compared to March 31, 2017 and a
decrease of two days compared with June 30, 2016. The year over year
decrease was driven by a number of factors, including the operational
maturation of new Medicaid contracts, decreased claims processing
times and changes in business mix, primarily related to the decline in
Aetna's individual Commercial product membership.
Group Insurance Segment Results
Group Insurance, which includes group life, disability and long-term
care products, reported:
-
Income before income taxes(1) of $57 million for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $74 million for second-quarter 2016.
Pre-tax adjusted earnings(2) were $42 million for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $57 million for second-quarter 2016.
Income before income taxes and pre-tax adjusted earnings decreased
primarily due to lower underwriting margins in Aetna's life products.
-
Total revenue of $642 million and $647 million for the second quarters
of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Adjusted revenue(3) was
$627 million and $630 million for the second quarters of 2017 and
2016, respectively.
Large Case Pensions Segment Results
Large Case Pensions, which manages a variety of discontinued and other
retirement and savings products, primarily for qualified pension plans,
reported:
-
Income before income taxes(1) of $115 million for
second-quarter 2017 compared with $135 million for second-quarter
2016. The decrease in income before income taxes was primarily due to
a larger reduction of Aetna's reserve for anticipated future losses on
discontinued products in 2016 compared to 2017.
-
Pre-tax adjusted earnings(2) were $3 million for both the
second quarters of 2017 and 2016.
-
Total revenue of $81 million for second-quarter 2017 compared with $82
million for second-quarter 2016. Adjusted revenue(3) was
$78 million for both the second quarters of 2017 and 2016.

Footnotes
(1) Net income refers to net income attributable to Aetna
reported in Aetna's Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Income before
income taxes refers to income before income taxes attributable to Aetna
in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in
this press release to net income, net income per share and income before
income taxes exclude amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
(2) Non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings,
adjusted earnings per share, pre-tax adjusted earnings, adjusted
operating expenses, adjusted revenue, adjusted expense ratio and
adjusted pre-tax margin exclude from the relevant GAAP metrics, as
applicable:
-
Amortization of other acquired intangible assets;
-
Net realized capital gains or losses; and
-
Other items, if any, that neither relate to the ordinary course of
Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business performance.
Although the excluded items may recur, management believes the non-GAAP
financial measures Aetna discloses, including those described above,
provide a more useful comparison of Aetna's underlying business
performance from period to period. Prior to March 31, 2017, operating
earnings was the measure reported to the chief executive officer for
purposes of assessing financial performance and making operating
decisions, such as the allocation of resources among Aetna's business
segments. Effective March 31, 2017, the chief executive officer assesses
consolidated Aetna results based on adjusted earnings and assesses
business segment results based on pre-tax adjusted earnings because
income taxes are recorded in Aetna's Corporate Financing segment and are
not allocated to Aetna's business segments. Also effective March 31,
2017, transaction and integration-related costs were reclassified to
Aetna's Corporate Financing segment because they do not reflect Aetna's
underlying business performance. The prior periods have been restated to
reflect this presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures Aetna discloses,
including those described above, should not be considered a substitute
for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
For the periods covered in this press release, the following items are
excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures described above, as
applicable, because Aetna believes they neither relate to the ordinary
course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying business
performance:
-
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Aetna incurred losses on
the early extinguishment of long-term debt due to (a) the mandatory
redemption of $10.2 billion aggregate principal amount of certain of
its senior notes issued in June 2016 (collectively, the "SMR Notes")
following the termination of the definitive agreement (the "Humana
Merger Agreement") to acquire Humana Inc. ("Humana") and (b) the early
redemption of $750 million aggregate principal amount of its
outstanding senior notes due 2020.
-
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Aetna recorded an expense
for estimated future guaranty fund assessments related to Penn Treaty
Network America Insurance Company and one of its subsidiaries
(collectively, "Penn Treaty"), which was placed in rehabilitation in
2009 and placed in liquidation in March 2017. This expense does not
directly relate to the underwriting or servicing of products for
customers and is not directly related to the core performance of
Aetna's business operations.
-
Aetna recorded transaction and integration-related costs during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily related to
its proposed acquisition of Humana (the "Humana Transaction"). The
negative transaction costs for the three months ended June 30, 2017
reflect the release of previously accrued expenses upon reconciliation
to the final actual expenses incurred related to the Humana
Transaction. Transaction costs include costs associated with the
termination of the Humana Merger Agreement, the termination of Aetna's
agreement to sell certain assets to Molina Healthcare, Inc. and
advisory, legal and other professional fees which are reflected in
Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in general and
administrative expenses. Transaction costs also include the negative
cost of carry associated with the debt financing that Aetna obtained
in June 2016 for the Humana Transaction. Prior to the mandatory
redemption of the SMR Notes, the negative cost of carry associated
with these senior notes was excluded from adjusted earnings and
pre-tax adjusted earnings. The negative cost of carry associated with
the $2.8 billion aggregate principal amount of Aetna's senior notes
issued in June 2016 that are not subject to mandatory redemption (the
"Other 2016 Senior Notes") was excluded from adjusted earnings and
pre-tax adjusted earnings through the date of the termination of the
Humana Merger Agreement. The components of the negative cost of carry
are reflected in Aetna's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Income in
interest expense and net investment income. Subsequent to the
termination of the Humana Merger Agreement, the interest expense and
net investment income associated with the Other 2016 Senior Notes were
no longer excluded from adjusted earnings and pre-tax adjusted
earnings.
-
In 1993, Aetna discontinued the sale of fully guaranteed large case
pensions products and established a reserve for anticipated future
losses on these products, which Aetna reviews quarterly. During both
the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Aetna reduced the
reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products. Aetna
believes excluding any changes in the reserve for anticipated future
losses on discontinued products from adjusted earnings provides more
useful information as to Aetna's continuing products and is consistent
with the treatment of the operating results of these discontinued
products, which are credited or charged to the reserve and do not
affect Aetna's operating results.
-
Other acquired intangible assets relate to Aetna's acquisition
activities and are amortized over their useful lives. However, this
amortization does not directly relate to the underwriting or servicing
of products for customers and is not directly related to the core
performance of Aetna's business operations.
-
Net realized capital gains and losses arise from various types of
transactions, primarily in the course of managing a portfolio of
assets that support the payment of liabilities. However, these
transactions do not directly relate to the underwriting or servicing
of products for customers and are not directly related to the core
performance of Aetna's business operations.
-
The corresponding tax benefit or expense related to the items excluded
from adjusted earnings discussed above. The tax benefit or expense was
calculated utilizing the appropriate tax rate for each individual item
excluded from adjusted earnings.
For a reconciliation of financial measures calculated under GAAP to
these items, refer to the tables on pages 9 through 11 of this press
release.
(3) Adjusted revenue excludes net realized capital gains and
losses and interest income on the proceeds of Aetna's senior notes
issued in June 2016 as noted in (2) above. Refer to the
tables on pages 9 through 11 of this press release for a reconciliation
of total revenue calculated under GAAP to adjusted revenue.
(4) Projected full-year 2017 net income per share and
adjusted earnings per share reflect a range of 334 million to 335
million weighted average diluted shares. Projected full-year 2017
adjusted earnings per share exclude from projected full-year 2017 net
income per share the loss on early extinguishment of long-term debt, the
projected Penn Treaty-related guaranty fund assessments, projected
transaction and integration-related costs (including termination costs)
primarily related to the Humana Transaction, the reduction of the
reserve for anticipated future losses on discontinued products,
estimated amortization of other acquired intangible assets, net realized
capital gains and losses, other items, if any, that neither relate to
the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's underlying
business performance and the corresponding income tax benefit or expense
related to the items excluded from net income per share discussed above.
Amortization of other acquired intangible assets relates to Aetna's
acquisition activities. The table below reconciles projected 2017 net
income per share to projected 2017 adjusted earnings per share:

Aetna will experience net realized capital gains or net realized capital
losses during the remainder of 2017, however Aetna cannot project the
amount of such future gains or losses. Therefore, Aetna has assumed no
net realized capital gains or losses after June 30, 2017 for purposes of
projecting net income and net income per share. Aetna's annual net
realized capital gains or losses ranged from a net realized capital loss
of $65 million to a net realized capital gain of $86 million during
calendar years 2014 through 2016.
(5) The adjusted expense ratio excludes net realized capital
gains and losses and other items, if any, that are excluded from
adjusted revenue or adjusted operating expenses, as noted in (2)
above. For a reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measure to this
metric for the periods covered by this press release, refer to page 11
of this press release.
(6) In order to provide useful information regarding Aetna's
profitability on a basis comparable to others in the industry, without
regard to financing decisions, income taxes or amortization of other
acquired intangible assets (each of which may vary for reasons not
directly related to the performance of the underlying business), Aetna's
adjusted pre-tax margin is based on adjusted earnings excluding interest
expense and income taxes. Management also uses adjusted pre-tax margin
to assess Aetna's performance, including performance versus competitors.
(7) Days claims payable is calculated by dividing the health
care costs payable at each quarter end by the average health care costs
per day in each respective quarter. The total debt to consolidated
capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing total long-term debt and
short-term debt ("Total Debt") by the sum of Total Debt and total Aetna
shareholders' equity.
(8) Aetna's Corporate Financing segment is not a business
segment. It is added to Aetna's business segments to reconcile segment
reporting to Aetna's consolidated results. The Corporate Financing
segment includes interest expense on Aetna's outstanding debt and the
financing components of Aetna's pension and other postretirement
employee benefit plan expenses (benefits), and, effective March 31,
2017, all transaction and integration-related costs and income taxes.
The prior periods have been restated to reflect this presentation. As
described in (2) above, the adjusted earnings of the
Corporate Financing segment exclude other items, if any, that neither
relate to the ordinary course of Aetna's business nor reflect Aetna's
underlying business performance.
(9) Interest expense included in the reconciliation to
adjusted earnings before income taxes, excluding interest expense and
the reconciliation to adjusted earnings excluding interest expense, net
of tax for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the three and six
months ended June 30, 2016 excludes costs associated with the term loan
credit agreement executed in connection with the Humana Transaction and
the negative cost of carry on transaction-related debt incurred in
connection with the Humana Transaction. Interest expense for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2016 excludes costs associated with bridge
credit agreement executed in connection with the Humana Transaction.
These costs are included within transaction and integration-related
costs. Refer to (2) above for further discussion.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can
generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "anticipate," "believe," "can,"
"continue," "could," "estimate," "evaluate," "expect," "explore,"
"forecast," "guidance," "intend," "likely," "may," "might," "outlook,"
"plan," "potential," "predict," "probable," "project," "seek," "should,"
"view," or "will," or the negative thereof or other variations thereon
or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are only
predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond Aetna's control.
Statements in this press release regarding Aetna that are
forward-looking, including Aetna's projections as to net income per
share, adjusted earnings per share, Penn Treaty-related guaranty fund
assessments, transaction and integration-related costs, amortization of
other acquired intangible assets, the income tax benefit related to
items excluded from adjusted earnings, weighted average diluted shares
(including the impact of accelerated share repurchase agreements), and
future operating results, are based on management's estimates,
assumptions and projections, and are subject to significant
uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Aetna's
control. Important risk factors could cause actual future results and
other future events to differ materially from those currently estimated
by management, including, but not limited to: significant disruptions in
the market for Aetna's common shares and/or financial markets;
unanticipated increases in medical costs (including increased intensity
or medical utilization as a result of flu or otherwise; changes in
membership mix to higher cost or lower-premium products or membership
adverse selection; medical cost increases resulting from unfavorable
changes in contracting or re-contracting with providers (including as a
result of provider consolidation and/or integration); increased pharmacy
costs (including in Aetna's public health insurance exchange products));
the profitability of Aetna's individual products, where membership is
higher than Aetna previously projected and has had and may continue to
have more adverse health status and/or higher medical benefit
utilization (including due to Aetna's product exit strategy) than Aetna
projected; any suspension of the ACA's health insurer fee for 2018;
adverse impacts from any failure to raise the U.S. Federal government's
debt ceiling or any sustained U.S. Federal government shut down; and
changes in Aetna's future cash requirements, capital requirements,
results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. As
currently enacted, health care reform will continue to significantly
impact Aetna's business operations and financial results, including
Aetna's pricing and medical benefit ratios, and key components of the
legislation will continue to be phased in through 2020. Aetna will be
required to dedicate material resources and incur material expenses
during 2017 to implement health care reform. Significant parts of the
legislation continue to evolve through the promulgation of regulations
and guidance. In addition, pending efforts in the U.S. Congress to
repeal, amend, replace or restrict funding for various aspects of health
care reform and pending litigation challenging aspects of the law
continue to create additional uncertainty about the ultimate impact of
health care reform. As a result, many of the impacts of health care
reform are unknown. Other important risk factors include: adverse
changes in federal or state government policies, legislation or
regulations (including legislative, judicial or regulatory measures that
would affect Aetna's business model, repeal, restrict funding for or
amend various aspects of health care reform, limit Aetna's ability to
price for the risk it assumes and/or reflect reasonable costs or profits
in its pricing, such as mandated minimum medical benefit ratios, or
eliminate or reduce ERISA pre-emption of state laws (increasing Aetna's
potential litigation exposure)); uncertainty related to Aetna's accruals
for the ACA's reinsurance, risk adjustment and risk corridor programs
("3R's"); uncertainty related to the funding for and final
reconciliations with respect to the ACA's risk management and subsidy
programs; the implementation of health care reform legislation,
collection of ACA fees, assessments and taxes through increased
premiums; adverse legislative, regulatory and/or judicial changes to or
interpretations of existing health care reform legislation and/or
regulations (including those relating to minimum medical loss ratio
("MLR") rebates); the implementation of public health insurance
exchanges; the timing and amount of and payment methods for satisfying
assessments for Penn Treaty Network America Insurance Company and other
insolvent payors under state guaranty fund laws; adverse and less
predictable economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad (including
unanticipated levels of, or increases in the rate of, unemployment);
reputational or financial issues arising from Aetna's social media
activities, data security breaches, other cybersecurity risks or other
causes; adverse program, pricing, funding or audit actions by federal or
state government payors, including as a result of sequestration and/or
changes to or curtailment or elimination of the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services' ("CMS") star rating bonus payments; Aetna's ability
to maintain and/or enhance its CMS star ratings; Aetna's ability to
diversify Aetna's sources of revenue and earnings (including by
developing and expanding Aetna's consumer business and expanding Aetna's
foreign operations), transform Aetna's business model, develop new
products and optimize Aetna's business platforms; the success of Aetna's
consumer health and services initiatives; adverse changes in size,
product or geographic mix or medical cost experience of membership;
managing executive succession and key talent retention, recruitment and
development; failure to achieve and/or delays in achieving desired rate
increases and/or profitable membership growth due to regulatory review
or other regulatory restrictions, an uncertain economy and/or
significant competition, especially in key geographic areas where
membership is concentrated, including successful protests of business
awarded to Aetna; failure to adequately implement health care reform
and/or repeal of or changes in health care reform; the outcome of
various litigation and regulatory matters, including audits, challenges
to Aetna's minimum MLR rebate methodology and/or reports, intellectual
property litigation and litigation concerning, and ongoing reviews by
various regulatory authorities of, certain of Aetna's payment practices
with respect to out-of-network providers, other providers and/or life
insurance policies; Aetna's ability to integrate, simplify, and enhance
Aetna's existing products, processes and information technology systems
and platforms to keep pace with changing customer and regulatory needs;
Aetna's ability to successfully integrate Aetna's businesses (including
businesses Aetna may acquire in the future) and implement multiple
strategic and operational initiatives simultaneously; Aetna's ability to
manage health care and other benefit costs; Aetna's ability to reduce
administrative expenses while maintaining targeted levels of service and
operating performance; failure by a service provider to meet its
obligations to Aetna; Aetna's ability to develop and maintain
relationships (including joint ventures or other collaborative
risk-sharing agreements) with providers while taking actions to reduce
medical costs and/or expand the services Aetna offers; Aetna's ability
to demonstrate that Aetna's products and processes lead to access to
quality affordable care by Aetna's members; Aetna's ability to maintain
its relationships with third-party brokers, consultants and agents who
sell its products; collection of amounts payable to Aetna by the State
of Illinois; increases in medical costs or Group Insurance claims
resulting from any epidemics, acts of terrorism or other extreme events;
changes in medical cost estimates due to the necessary extensive
judgment that is used in the medical cost estimation process, the
considerable variability inherent in such estimates, and the sensitivity
of such estimates to changes in medical claims payment patterns and
changes in medical cost trends; and a downgrade in Aetna's financial
ratings. For more discussion of important risk factors that may
materially affect Aetna, please see the risk factors contained in
Aetna's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Aetna's 2016 Annual Report")
and Aetna's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 2017 ("Aetna's March 2017 Quarterly Report"), each on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and Aetna's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 ("Aetna's June 2017
Quarterly Report"), when filed with the SEC. You should also read
Aetna's 2016 Annual Report and Aetna's March 2017 Quarterly Report, each
on file with the SEC, and Aetna's June 2017 Quarterly Report, when filed
with the SEC for a discussion of Aetna's historical results of
operations and financial condition.
No assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the
forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do
occur, what impact they will have on the results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows of Aetna. Aetna does not assume any
duty to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise, as of any future date.

(a) Aetna participates in certain public health insurance
exchanges established pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(as amended, collectively, "Health Care Reform" or the "ACA"). Under
regulations established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services ("HHS"), HHS pays Aetna a portion of the premium and a portion
of the health care costs for low-income individual Public Exchange
members. In addition, HHS administers the 3Rs risk management programs.
The ACA's temporary Reinsurance and Risk Corridor programs expired at
the end of 2016. (b) Aetna estimates that as of June 30,
2017, it is entitled to receive a total of $314 million from HHS under
the three-year ACA risk corridor program for the 2014 through 2016
program years. At June 30, 2017, Aetna did not record any ACA risk
corridor receivables related to the 2016 or 2015 program years or any
amount in excess of HHS's announced prorated funding amount for the 2014
program year, because payments from HHS are uncertain.
