RETRIEVABILITY:

Retrieved by the employee using a unique username and password. Aetna administrators/managers retrieve individual employee data using an internally-generated number based on the plan number and customer number or Social Security Number (SSN).

SAFEGUARDS:

DODNHB is hosted at the Aetna corporate datacenter. Access to DoD employee data is limited to authorized users with a need-to-know and incorporates a "least privilege" policy for file permissions. The contract between Aetna and DoD requires a high level of information protection to include data-at-rest encryption. Regular reports on the status of information security measures are required, as is immediate notification of possible failures. Data records are maintained in datacenter facilities that are secured 24 hours per day with restricted access. Data access is restricted to the DoD NAF employee, individuals with a business "need-to-know" and authorized technical administrators.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records are retained for seven (7) years following disenrollment of the DoD NAF employee from the health plan. Record disposal is done by securely erasing the electronic media on which the data was stored. Some data is received in paper forms. This data is transferred to electronic media and the paper forms are immediately destroyed by shredding.
