Aetna announced Wednesday it will acquire PayFlex Holdings for roughly $202 million, as the health insurer looks to expand its existing consumer fund services business.   

PayFlex, one of the largest independent account-based health plan administrators, has approximately one million accounts and 3,300 direct employer customers. Aetna says it expects to combine PayFlex and its CFS business into a single unit with two million accounts.
