Our Treatment Programs That Are In-Network With Aetna

As an in-network provider with Aetna, North Atlanta Behavioral Health offers a variety of mental health services designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey. Our programs are tailored to support your needs and goals with flexibility and compassion. The types of programming we offer are highlighted below.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP provides comprehensive, structured mental health treatment during the day while allowing clients to return home in the evenings. Clients typically attend sessions each weekday for the majority of the day. This type of programming is ideal for individuals who need intensive support but do not require 24-hour inpatient care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our IOP offers a step down from inpatient or PHP care, with a focus on flexibility and continued progress. Clients attend therapy several days per week, allowing them to maintain work, school, or family obligations while receiving structured clinical support. The goal of our IOP is to help individuals strengthen coping skills and continue building an overall solid foundation for long-term recovery.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Typically, the last step in an individual’s continuum of care, our traditional outpatient program provides ongoing therapy and psychiatric services for those with a strong position in recovery. Sessions are held weekly and provide continued support for maintaining mental health goals. Ultimately, our OP helps clients transition back to their daily lives smoothly and confidently. 

How Much Will My Out-of-Pocket Costs Be?

Out-of-pocket costs for Aetna mental health coverage depend on the specifics of your exact plan. These may include the following:

• Your deductible and whether it has been met
• Your copayments for different services
• Your coinsurance percentage
• Whether you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum

Our admissions team will walk you through these details and provide a clear picture of what you can expect to pay before treatment begins.

How Do I Determine My Mental Health Insurance Coverage?

The fastest way to find out what your Aetna policy covers is by logging into your member portal or by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. Then, you will be able to check coverage details, provider networks, prior authorization requirements, and out-of-pocket costs. If you prefer, our team can assist with verifying your insurance benefits and clearly explaining your coverage, helping you take the next steps with clarity.

How Long Will Aetna Cover Mental Health Treatment For?

Aetna does not apply a fixed time limit to mental health treatment. Instead, they approve services based on medical necessity—meaning your coverage continues as long as you are making progress and your care is supported by a licensed provider. This gives you the flexibility to stay in treatment for as long as clinically appropriate. Our team works closely with Aetna throughout the treatment process to ensure ongoing authorization and continuity of care.
