Aetna · FAQ
Aetna coverage questions.
Does Aetna cover ABA therapy in Georgia?
Yes. Aetna covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, delivered by qualified providers under BCBA supervision.
What is Aetna’s ABA prior authorization process?
Aetna requires an initial assessment, a written treatment plan, and prior authorization before ABA begins. GRBS handles the submission on your behalf.
Are there hour-per-week limits on Aetna ABA?
Aetna authorizes based on medical necessity documented in the treatment plan. Most children start at 10–30 hours per week; intensity is reviewed at each authorization renewal.
What if my Aetna plan is self-funded (ERISA)?
Many Aetna plans are self-funded on behalf of employers. Benefits may vary from the standard Aetna plan; we verify your specific plan document.
What is my expected out-of-pocket?
Depends on your specific plan design (deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket max). GRBS runs a full benefits check before your first session.
