Reliant encourages all staff to proactively attend to their physical, mental, and emotional health as we work within our God-given assignment to advance God’s kingdom.  The Aetna member website is designed to serve a wide variety of industries with varying worldviews. Many of its vendors share our perspective. Thus, they welcome requests for consideration of specific needs and values. As with all information provided by outside vendors, we encourage employees and missionaries to use biblical discernment and filter all information through the truth of God's word as found in the scriptures. 

Please see the phone number on the back of your Aetna card or call 800-231-7729 (or collect 813-775-0190).
