AETNA INC
Contributors who listed AETNA INC. on federal itemized receipts account for $3.8M ($3,791,014), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 14,775 contributions from 374 donors. AETNA INC. is a period legal-entity spelling as stored, not a NAICS health-insurance total, not UNITED HEALTHCARE SERVICES INC, and not the company’s PAC.
Key figures
- AETNA INC. as FEC employer text totals $3.8M ($3,791,014) from 374 donors.
- 14,775 contribution lines sit under that period legal-entity string.
- UNITED HEALTHCARE SERVICES INC and short AETNA are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
Inc. with a period, not a payer-sector recode
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. AETNA INC. includes the period as committees stored it. The $3,791,014 total is those itemized gifts. It is not Aetna revenue, not medical-claims volume, and not a NAICS direct-health-insurance category.
People who typed AETNA without Inc., AETNA INC without a period, or UNITED HEALTHCARE SERVICES INC sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key.
374 donors and 14,775 lines
374 unique donors produced 14,775 AETNA INC. contribution lines totaling $3,791,014. That is on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $257. Mean per donor is about $10,136. About 40 itemized receipts per donor is a dense pattern; the packet does not label those lines as payroll deductions.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,791,014 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions
- How much have AETNA INC.-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,791,014 to the AETNA INC. employer string, from 14,775 contributions and 374 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS health-insurance total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is AETNA without Inc. included?
- No. A short AETNA spelling is a separate grouped key if filers used it. The $3.8M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to AETNA INC., including the period. LobbyVault does not merge suffix variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include United Healthcare Services Inc. staff?
- No. UNITED HEALTHCARE SERVICES INC is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text AETNA INC. Staff who typed only INSURANCE are in that title row instead. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed AETNA INC.?
- The rollup counts 374 donors and 14,775 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
