Everyone deserves care
Aetna is an insurance provider owned by CVS. It is part of a larger managed health care company that provides medical, dental and pharmaceutical plans, among other products, to an estimated 39 million people.
Aetna offers individual and group health insurance in all 50 states and offers plans through the health insurance marketplace in 17 states including California as of early 2024.
If you have health insurance through Aetna, the name of your plan will vary based on where you live, but you should see “Aetna” in the plan name.

Mental and behavioral health services are considered essential health benefits. That means most individual and small employer health insurance plans through Aetna—including all Aetna plans offered through the health insurance marketplace—must cover mental health and substance use disorder services.
There are some exceptions, so it’s important to verify your insurance before entering treatment.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), all plans sold through the health insurance exchanges (such as Covered California) must cover mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and treatment for alcohol and chemical dependency.
Additionally, federal law states that if a group or individual plan offers coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, it must cover these services in the same way as it covers most medical and surgical services. This is called “parity.”
California law offers additional protections by requiring every California plan—regardless of where you obtained it—to cover certain mental health conditions.
While most individual and employer-based group insurance plans today provide some coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment, not all do. It’s important to verify your benefits by calling your insurance company.

The ACA protects you in many ways; however, it does not guarantee that Lumina Recovery accepts your Aetna insurance plan. Nor does it guarantee that your Aetna plan covers substance abuse treatment. The best way to find out is to contact us.
