For more than a quarter century the AeA has been helping member companies find solutions for their corporate healthcare insurance needs. We are proud to continue that tradition by announcing a new national partnership with UnitedHealthcare. Healthcare costs have emerged as an key issue in our industry. The designation of UnitedHealthcare comes at a very important time.

Our program will now be better able to provide healthcare coverage in a number of locales with a high concentration of AeA members. Through its acquisition of PacifiCare and Oxford Health Plan, UnitedHealthcare is also now a major player in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, as well as in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We also selected the company with the "best in class" networks of physicians and hospitals with the proven tools to make healthcare easier and more "user friendly" for employees.

Expanded wellness services, a top flight employee assistance plan, and a 24/7 nurse hotline are all included in our new AeA UnitedHealthcare program, which offers a terrific set of choices for your company to consider in the future. For more information, contact Eric Meyer, AeA Senior Vice President for Insurance Services, at 202.682.4430, or UnitedHealthcare AeA Sales Team at 1.800.809.9831.
