Californias investigation, which prompted Colorados heightened interest in the matter, came after CNN showed California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones a transcript of a deposition of one of Aetnas former medical directors.
MetLife's failure to keep track of what the company now says is 2 percent of its pension clients, or about 13,500 individuals alarms some state and federal officials.
