Aetna Mental Health Coverage Guide
Aetna is one of the largest health insurers in the United States, providing commercial and managed care plans across Georgia. At Coping and Healing Counseling, we are in-network with most Aetna plans, which means you pay only your copay for individual, couples, teen, and family therapy sessions. Most Aetna plans do not require a referral for outpatient mental health services, allowing you to start therapy quickly.
