cancellation Aetna: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Aetna
Overview
Aetna is an international health insurance brand offering medical, dental and related benefits through global and regional plans.
In the United Arab Emirates, Aetna-branded services may be offered directly or via regional partners such as AccessHealth; local terms and service routing can vary by plan.
How Aetna operates in UAE
Aetna International sets global terms (for example, the 15-day cooling-off rule in its policy booklet) that can apply to plans sold through partners.
Some UAE-distributed plans are administered locally (for example, AccessHealth/Access Health General Agency), which may apply additional operational rules such as membership card return for refunds.
How to cancel Aetna
Accepted cancellation methods
- Post-mail: Send a signed cancellation letter to the UAE registered address (preferred for record keeping).
- Email: Use the regional support email (for example, MEAServices@aetna.com) to request cancellation and attach required documents.
- Phone: Call the UAE office at +971-4-438-7500 to notify and confirm next steps.
Step-by-step cancellation process
- Prepare a signed cancellation letter stating policy number, full name, and requested cancellation date.
- Attach copies of your membership card and passport/Emirates ID, and any required forms from your broker or administrator.
- Send by registered post or email to MEAServices@aetna.com and request written confirmation. If required, return the physical membership card to the administrator.
- Keep proof of submission and any return-tracking details until you receive final written confirmation of cancellation.
What happens when you cancel
Access to services
Access to network benefits typically ends on the effective cancellation date given in the confirmation notice.
Providers may deny services after cancellation; ensure any planned care is completed before the cancellation effective date.
Policy renewal, records and data
Automatic renewals stop once cancellation is processed; check your confirmation to verify there is no future billing.
Aetna and local administrators retain policy records for regulatory and claims audit purposes; request copies if needed for future claims.
Will I get a refund?
Core policy on refunds
Aetna International’s terms include a 15-day cooling-off period during which you may cancel under the Policy Booklet.
Per the Aetna International terms, if you cancel after that 15-day period, no premium refund is provided - neither full nor pro‑rata.
Local exceptions (UAE / AccessHealth)
- For certain UAE-distributed Aetna plans (for example, via AccessHealth), approved deletions can be pro‑rated if the membership card is returned.
- No refund is due under those local rules if the membership card is not returned; verify the applicable rule for your specific plan.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
Cooling-off and refunds
You have a 15-day cooling-off period under Aetna International terms; cancelling within this period allows you to exercise that right per the policy booklet.
After the 15-day period, Aetna International’s published terms state no premium refunds are provided.
Local regulatory protections
- Local administrators (e.g., AccessHealth) may offer pro‑rated refunds when certain conditions are met, such as return of the membership card.
- If you have disputes, retain all documents and use formal complaint channels with the insurer and the UAE insurance regulator as applicable.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some local customers report high satisfaction with responsiveness, affordability and client-oriented service in certain UAE channels.
Positive experiences are often linked to efficient local administration and attentive broker support.
Common complaints
Global reviews cite issues such as claim denials, billing errors, premium increases and technical problems with online systems.
When evaluating feedback, consider whether reviews refer to global Aetna operations or to the specific UAE administrator and product.
Documentation checklist
Required documents for cancellation
- Signed cancellation letter with policy number and requested effective date.
- Copy of membership card (and proof of return if required by administrator).
- Copy of passport or Emirates ID and any power of attorney if someone else submits for you.
Optional but helpful documents
- Evidence of premium payments (bank statements or receipts).
- Broker correspondence or prior written confirmations related to the policy.
- Return receipt or tracking for any physical card sent back to the administrator.
Common mistakes
Missing or incomplete documentation
Failing to include the policy number, signed letter, or membership card return can delay or void a refund entitlement.
Always use registered post or request delivery/read receipts for important documents to create an audit trail.
Assuming universal refund rules
Do not assume Aetna’s global refund practice and local partner rules are identical; Aetna International’s 15-day cooling-off rule differs from some local pro‑rata refund practices.
Confirm the exact terms that apply to your specific policy before cancelling to avoid surprises.
