Benefits of Using Aetna Insurance for Therapy in Chicago
Consistency in therapy is often important for meaningful progress. Using Aetna insurance can help reduce the financial burden of ongoing treatment by lowering out-of-pocket costs when care is in-network. Because Aetna negotiates rates with participating providers, many clients pay less per session than they would with self-pay services.
Many Aetna plans cover a significant portion of the session fee once the deductible is met, which can make regular therapy more manageable over time. Coverage may include individual, family, or couples therapy depending on the details of your specific plan.
Before your first appointment, we recommend verifying your specific benefits with your plan’s Customer Service team to review coverage details such as deductibles, copays, and referral requirements, so you know what to expect before starting care.

FAQs
How Much Does Therapy Cost With Aetna Insurance?
The cost of therapy with Aetna insurance depends on your specific plan. Many clients pay a copayment per session after meeting any applicable deductible. Copay amounts can vary by tier depending on the structure of the Aetna plan. Some plans may require meeting a deductible before standard coverage begins, rather than using a flat copay. We recommend you call your insurance plan’s customer service team to verify your benefits and determine your out-of-pocket costs before your first appointment.
Do All Aetna Plans Cover Therapy?
Not all, but many Aetna plans cover mental health services, including in-person and online therapy sessions. However, coverage may vary due to specific benefits, limitations, and in-network vs. out-of-network costs.
How Do I Know If Mental Health Services Are Covered Under My Aetna Plan?
You can check your coverage by calling the member services number on your insurance card and asking about outpatient mental health benefits. It can also be helpful to inquire about copayments and deductible requirements.
Does Aetna Cover Online Therapy?
Yes, one can opt for telehealth sessions with a therapist covered by Aetna via Depth Counseling. Many of our clinicians offer therapy online, allowing clients to continue their treatment from home via video sessions conducted through our secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms.
How Many Therapy Sessions Does Aetna Cover?
It depends on your specific Aetna plan. Aetna covers therapy sessions based on clients’ medical necessity, and many plans have a predetermined limit on the total number of sessions, as some patients need fewer sessions than others. You should review the details of your plan with Member Services to understand how many therapy sessions are covered and what benefits are available under your policy.
Some specific plans may require prior authorization for extended treatment. Your therapist will work with the insurance company to provide the required documentation in these cases.
