The international business segment of Aetna has launched its presence in Facebook with the aim of enhancing the level of service experienced through the Internet. Initially AGB will focus its efforts on creating an online community comprising of not only its diverse and geographically-dispersed members but prospective individual customers as well. AGB has already been offering members online access to the secure portion of their website. The Facebook Wall of AGB will include frequently updated information on its international provider community of more than 61,000 health care providers outside of the U.S. and approximately 900,000 in the U.S., answers to frequently-asked benefits questions, news feeds and videos, and health and wellness information and resources provided as an extension of the Aetna Global Health Connections programme. Existing Facebook members can access the resources described above by becoming fans of "Aetna Global Benefits."
