They asked for me by my first name. I did not recognize the number so I asked if I could take a message. They said it was from Aetna and left a number for me to call...which I did not write down because I have no idea why Aetna would be calling me, and they did not say Aetna US Health Care...just Aetna.
I got this call and they said my name and asked if they were correct, I said yes and then they hung up
It has been bothering since yesterday. No mention of a Etna at all.
Aetna seems to subcontract out a service for a "health counselor". That implies you are dealing with a company which was given your name and number by Aetna, and not with Aetna themselves. The third party company should not be getting your number unless you checked off the box on the Aetna website or in some other way "opted into" the program. And of course, since this is an outside company then next week this number might be used to call for some other marketing program for some other company. However, this week it does seem to be legitimately from an Aetna subcontractor. It also is not the number to which you call back, so it might well be a secondary subcontract to an outbound auto dialer.
This is definitely a legitimate number for Aetna's headquarters in Hartford, CT. I am a vendor for Aetna and one of my main contacts just called me from this number.
They call 3x a day. My husband was moved to Aetna insurance 2 months ago. I think they had a data security breech about 6 months ago. They are probably selling phone list. The Do Not Call List from gov. is useless.
