Aetna and alcohol use disorder care
Aetna is one of the largest behavioral-health networks in the country, and its plans commonly include outpatient behavioral health and telehealth visits.
Aetna plans vary widely — employer-sponsored, marketplace, and Medicare Advantage plans each carry different cost-sharing. What is generally consistent is that outpatient behavioral health is a covered benefit, and telehealth behavioral health is now standard across most Aetna plan types.
Naltrexone is a generic, non-controlled medication and is widely included on Aetna formularies, though tier placement affects what you pay at the pharmacy.
What is typically covered
- Outpatient behavioral health evaluation and follow-up visits
- Telehealth behavioral health, now standard across most plans
- FDA-approved medication for alcohol use disorder, subject to your formulary
- Medication management visits with a prescribing provider
If you would rather not use insurance
Some people prefer to pay directly — no claims, no diagnosis on file with the insurer, no deductible to meet first. Cash-pay is $149/month for the provider visit, with generic naltrexone billed separately at roughly $15–60/month at most pharmacies.
