About Your Coverage
Using your Aetna benefits for mental health
If you have an Aetna health plan, your mental health benefits may help cover virtual intensive outpatient, outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management at Texas Mental Health Services.
Aetna plans vary significantly — coverage depends on whether you have a PPO, employer group plan, or individual policy. Our admissions team contacts Aetna directly to confirm your exact deductible, copay, network status, and any prior authorization requirements.
Federal parity law requires most insurers — including Aetna — to cover mental health treatment at the same level as medical care. This means your Aetna plan is likely required to cover the same cost-sharing structure for therapy and IOP as it does for a physician visit.
