Aetna's steps
Plan through work: tell your employer, who updates Aetna. Plan you bought yourself: use Contact Us on your member site or call the number on your card.
Have these ready
- A copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order (most companies ask for one).
- Your updated driver's license or ID, if you have it. Social Security comes first, then the DMV.
- Your account number, and the name the account is in now.
