Aetna provides health insurance options to a wide range of people including individuals, employees and students. Each Aetna member receives a card to use as a reference to that member's specific Aetna account. Aetna provides medical and dental membership cards. When you lose your medical or dental Aetna card, Aetna also provides members with two ways to get a replacement. Order the card through Aetna customer service by phone or online.
