Aetna and EMDR in Austin
Calling down a directory list is slow in Austin because most EMDR specialists here are cash-pay only, and a listing that says EMDR doesn't tell you whether the therapist is on your Aetna plan. We check both before we send you anyone.
- Typical copay
- In-network mental health visits with Aetna usually cost $20-50 per session, depending on your plan. Out-of-network EMDR may be covered at 50-80% after your deductible. Federal parity law says mental health benefits can't be more restrictive than comparable medical benefits. Check your plan to see how your deductible applies.
- Prior authorization
- Aetna usually doesn't require prior authorization for your first outpatient EMDR sessions. Some plans ask for authorization after a set number of sessions (often 20-30). Intensive outpatient programs or extended sessions may need approval in advance.
- How it's billed
- EMDR is billed using standard psychotherapy codes: 90834 (38-52 minute session) or 90837 (53+ minute session). There's no separate EMDR code. Under current CPT guidelines, 90837 has no upper time limit, so a 60-90 minute EMDR session goes under the same code.
Frequently asked questions
- What diagnoses does Aetna cover EMDR for?
- Several, including PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment disorders and other trauma-related conditions. Your therapist records the diagnosis that fits what you're dealing with.
- How much will I pay per session with Aetna?
- In-network mental health visits with Aetna usually cost $20 to $50, depending on your plan and deductible. We check your exact amount before your first session.
