Aetna Integration A detailed description

There is a brochure on the Aetna website that provides details about the Integration plan.  It is a good summary of the plan.  Unfortunately, I can't link to it because you need a user id to get to the site and you can only get one if you are enrolled.  If you are considering getting the insurance I suggest you call and ask Aetna to email you a copy of the brochure.  Here is the table of contents:
