Yes, if your plan covers dependents. Nikki Holmes, Naim Karabanoff, Karisma Amin, Diana Cantu, Michelle Mitchell and Dr. Sneha Desai all see children and take Aetna.
Does Aetna cover an ADHD evaluation here?
No. Our psychological testing is private pay, so insurance does not apply to evaluations.
Can I use Aetna for telehealth?
