Cultural Tip
In French, 'chez' is commonly used not only for someone's home but also for companies, institutions, and professionals (e.g., 'chez le médecin', 'chez Renault'). It conveys a sense of belonging or affiliation. While public health coverage (Sécurité Sociale) is standard in France, many people add private plans like Aetna for extra benefits, so mentioning the provider with 'chez' is perfectly natural.
