What Aetna Covers for Rehab in Texas

Aetna plans cover medically necessary detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care under federal parity rules. Aetna requires precertification for inpatient and residential admissions, which our admissions team obtains through Aetna Behavioral Health before you arrive, and some plans also authorize PHP and IOP in advance. Your cost is your plan’s in-network deductible, copay or coinsurance, capped by its out-of-pocket maximum.

Aetna Plans in Texas

Aetna’s Texas plans include employer PPO, HMO and Aetna Whole Health products, Aetna Medicare Advantage, and Aetna Better Health of Texas for STAR and CHIP Medicaid members in the Tarrant and Bexar service areas. Meritain Health and First Health Network plans are also in-network at our Texas centers.

What Aetna Members Should Know About Texas

Aetna Better Health of Texas (STAR and CHIP) members are in-network at all three centers; Medicaid admissions require a medical-necessity authorization before a residential stay, which our team requests for you. Commercial PPO and Aetna Whole Health members usually need only a precertification through Aetna Behavioral Health, obtained the same day. Meritain Health plans, common with self-funded Texas employers, use Aetna’s network and follow the same process. The Right Step Houston is substance-use focused; Promises Dallas-Fort Worth and Promises Brazos Valley also admit for primary mental health conditions, which matters if depression, PTSD or another mental health condition is the main reason for admission.

To confirm your Aetna benefits, verify your insurance online or call our admissions line; full instructions, private-pay options and payment plans are on our Texas insurance guide.
