What Aetna Members Should Know About Tennessee
The Ranch Tennessee admits for substance use and for primary mental health conditions, and Aetna authorizes both under the same precertification process through Aetna Behavioral Health. Aetna does not participate in TennCare, so Medicaid members should see the Tennessee insurance guide. Meritain Health and First Health Network plans, used by many self-funded employers in Middle Tennessee, follow Aetna’s network and process. Aetna PPO members from neighboring states can also be admitted at in-network rates, and our admissions team arranges travel to Dickson.
