CVS Health Corp. confirmed Wednesday it eliminating jobs at Hartford-based Aetna as it moves ahead with integrating the health insurer into CVS, an acquisition that was completed at the end of 2018.
Rhode Island-based CVS would not say how many jobs were being cut in Hartford but said, in a statement, that it was a “very small percentage." CVS also would not say which areas of Aetna were affected by the layoffs, noting they were in “all part of the Aetna business.”
“Within the Aetna business, we are in the process of reorganizing and consolidating certain business segments to take advantage of CVS Health’s enterprise capabilities, while continuing to grow our core businesses and create added value for our members, customers and provider partners,” the statement said.
