Aetna questions

Can my child use my Aetna plan here?

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?

Many plans cover video sessions the same way as office visits. Ask Aetna to confirm for your plan.
