# Aetna ABA coverage in Connecticut: the intake guide.

_Payer Guide · Aetna · Connecticut · Last updated October 2026 · 22 primary sources_

> Aetna’s national ABA guide and precertification list + Connecticut’s § 38a-514b mandate (licensed supervision, under 21).

For an intake team in Connecticut, an Aetna card means three layers: Aetna’s national ABA policy, Connecticut’s autism mandate, and the plan’s funding type, which decides whether the mandate applies. Aetna’s ABA medical necessity guide has one state exhibit, for Maryland, and none for Connecticut, so the national criteria apply here, with the state statute on top for insured plans.

## Prior authorization and diagnosis at a glance

- **Prior auth for the assessment**: Required: all ten ABA codes, including 97151, are on Aetna’s behavioral health precertification list (eff. 8/1/2024) [2]
- **Prior auth for treatment** _(plan-dependent)_: Required: 97153–97158, 0362T and 0373T are on the same list. Submit through Availity; the reauthorization interval is set by the plan [2]
  - Ask the plan: The member’s Aetna plan (benefits line on the card): ask what reauthorization interval applies.
- **Autism diagnosis required?**: Yes: a DSM-5 ASD diagnosis (F84.0, F84.3–F84.9) from an appropriate provider [1]

## At a glance

- **Covers ABA?:** Yes, for ASD, per Aetna’s national ABA medical necessity guide
- **State mandate:** Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-514b (group) and § 38a-488b (individual)
- **Mandate age:** Behavioral therapy for children under 21; under 26 from January 1, 2027 (Nov. Sp. Sess. P.A. 25-3)
- **Mandate caps:** No dollar cap and no visit limits except for medical necessity (the old coverage limit was deleted in 2015)
- **Exempt from mandate:** Self-funded ERISA employer plans (outside state insurance law)
- **Licensure:** Required: DPH license for behavior analysts (§ 20-185j); a current BCBA qualifies (§ 20-185k)
- **Fee schedule:** Not public. Aetna pays the contracted rate in your participation agreement

## The national policy, applied in Connecticut

Aetna’s ABA medical necessity guide (©2026) requires a DSM-5 ASD diagnosis (F84.0, F84.3–F84.9) “obtained by an appropriate provider,” functional impairment on a standardized scale within the past 12 months (at least one standard deviation below the mean, or significant risk of harm), and services “provided directly or billed by licensed behavior analysts (in states with behavior analyst licensure laws), board-certified behavior analysts, or licensed psychologists” unless mandates or contracts say otherwise. Connecticut is a licensure state, so the licensed behavior analyst is the credential that applies here. The guide’s only state exhibit is for Maryland. The behavioral health precertification list (effective August 1, 2024) names all ten ABA codes: 97151 through 97158, 0362T and 0373T. Requests go through Availity. [1][2]

## The Connecticut mandate: what it guarantees

Connecticut’s autism mandate is two parallel statutes: § 38a-514b for group policies and § 38a-488b for individual policies. Each requires coverage “for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder,” which the law treats as an illness. Covered treatments must be medically necessary and “identified and ordered by a licensed physician, licensed psychologist or licensed clinical social worker,” following a treatment plan written by a licensed behavior analyst, physician, psychologist or licensed clinical social worker after a comprehensive evaluation or reevaluation. “Behavioral therapy,” which expressly includes applied behavior analysis, is covered when it is “Provided to children less than twenty-one years of age” and “provided or supervised by (i) a licensed behavior analyst, (ii) a licensed physician, or (iii) a licensed psychologist.” Supervision is defined as “at least one hour of face-to-face supervision” for every ten hours of behavioral therapy. From January 1, 2027, the age limit rises: Public Act 25-3 of the November 2025 special session changes the text to individuals “under twenty-six years of age.” The statute bans visit limits “on any basis other than a lack of medical necessity” and cost-sharing heavier than for other medical conditions. The 2015 amendment (June Sp. Sess. P.A. 15-5) deleted the old coverage limit, so no dollar cap remains. Two utilization-review protections help intake: outside inpatient care, the carrier may review the treatment plan “not more than once every six months” unless the treating clinician agrees or changes the plan, and “the results of a diagnosis shall be valid for a period of not less than twelve months.” Coverage can still carry the policy’s ordinary terms (coordination of benefits, network rules, limits on services by family or household members). Nothing in the statute requires a plan to pay for special education under an IEP. The mandate binds fully insured policies issued in Connecticut. Self-funded employer plans fall under ERISA instead. [7][8]

## Does a BCBA need a Connecticut license? (out-of-state and telehealth)

Yes. Connecticut licenses behavior analysts, and the license is required to practice. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-185j(a) says: “No person may practice behavior analysis unless licensed pursuant to section 20-185k or 20-185l.” Licensure began July 1, 2018 and is run by the Department of Public Health. The route is simple for a current BCBA. Under § 20-185k, DPH “shall grant a license as a behavior analyst to any applicant who furnishes evidence satisfactory to the commissioner that such applicant is certified as a behavior analyst by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board.” The application is online only and costs $350. DPH verifies the BCBA online and requires verification of every other state license you hold or have held. The license renews every year for $180, with current BACB certification and a one-time two hours of training on PTSD, suicide-risk, depression and grief screening and suicide prevention, then repeated every six years. Section 20-185l adds licensure by endorsement for people licensed in a state with substantially similar or higher requirements. Several people do not need the license (§ 20-185j(c)): a BCaBA “working under the supervision of a behavior analyst” under BACB standards; anyone who “implements an intervention based on behavior analysis under the supervision of a behavior analyst” (RBTs and technicians); students in an accredited program under direct supervision; course instructors; family members carrying out a plan; and other licensees acting within their own scope who do not call themselves behavior analysts. The license matters for payment too. The commercial mandate covers behavioral therapy only when it is provided or supervised by a licensed behavior analyst, physician or psychologist, so a BCBA without a Connecticut license cannot be the supervising clinician on a fully insured Connecticut plan. [12][13][14][15][5]

Telehealth from another state does not get around the license. Under § 19a-906(a)(12)(A), a “telehealth provider” means a provider “licensed pursuant to title 20,” the title that contains the behavior analyst chapter. A separate route let behavior analysts licensed in another state treat Connecticut patients by telehealth after registering with DPH and applying for a Connecticut license. In the 2026 Supplement that route applies only “on or before June 30, 2025.” Section 19a-906(j) lets a telehealth provider serve a patient “from any location to a patient in any location,” but only “subject to compliance with … state licensing standards.” A Connecticut agency that contracts with an out-of-state telehealth provider who has no DPH license must check that provider’s DPH registration (§ 19a-906(k)). Our reading, as of the 2026 Supplement: a BCBA must hold a Connecticut license to treat a member located in Connecticut, in person or by telehealth. We did not review 2026-session public acts. Confirm with DPH (dph.counselorsteam@ct.gov) before relying on any exception. Aetna’s own manual says the same: providers “must act within the scope of their license and ensure that they have the proper licensure based on state requirements.” [12][13][14][15][5]

## What is Aetna’s fee schedule for ABA?

Aetna publishes no ABA rate table. Its provider manual (6/26) treats payment as a contract term: “The rates and compensation under your agreement are subject to the Aetna coding/claim edit policies,” and if you have both an intermediary contract and a direct agreement, “your direct Aetna rates will apply unless we specifically notify you otherwise.” When a member’s benefits run out, you “cannot charge them more than the contracted rate.” Connecticut’s prompt-pay rule is in its unfair claim settlement statute, § 38a-816(15). An insurer must pay a claim within 60 days of receipt if filed on paper and within 20 days if filed electronically. If information is missing, it must list every deficiency within 30 days (paper) or 10 days (electronic), then pay within 30 or 10 days of receiving what it asked for. A late claim carries interest “at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum.” The statute defines “health care provider” to include anyone licensed under chapters 375 to 383c, a range that takes in licensed behavior analysts (chapter 382a). It applies to insured policies. Self-funded ERISA plans follow federal claim rules instead. For a public benchmark, Connecticut Medicaid’s ASD fee schedule (rates effective January 1, 2026) pays 97153 at $14.00 per 15 minutes. Commercial contracts are negotiated separately. [5][11][21]

## Claim filing, telehealth billing and reauthorization

Billing details from Aetna’s own documents. Codes: Aetna’s ABA policy (CPB 0554) lists only CPT 97151–97158, 0362T and 0373T and no HCPCS code, so H0031, H0032 or H2019 are not ABA codes at Aetna. Telehealth: its Telemedicine and Direct Patient Contact Payment Policy names modifiers GT, 95 and FR but no place-of-service code, and none of Aetna’s documents says the precertification must flag telehealth; ask which POS (02 or 10) it wants when you precertify. Filing: the Health Care Professional Toolkit (6/26) prints no timely-filing deadline, so your agreement sets it, and its definition of a clean claim excludes any claim that involves coordination of benefits. Reauthorization: the ABA medical necessity guide calls for "Repeated measurement with standardized measures to assess progress" and says "A member’s progress is to be evaluated every six months"; it does not mention graphs. Supervision: the Network Participation Criteria set one hour of face-to-face supervision per 10 hours of paraprofessional ABA and publish no cap on technicians per BCBA. [22][6][5][1][3]

## Intake gates

The questions that decide whether a family can start with Aetna in Connecticut, and what they have to bring.

- **Diagnosis recency**: No expiry on the diagnosis, but medical necessity requires functional impairment on a standardized scale “in the past 12 months.” Insured Connecticut plans must also treat a diagnosis as valid for at least 12 months. [1][7]
- **Who may diagnose**: “licensed psychologist/psychiatrist, physician or other health care professional qualified to diagnose mental health conditions within their scope of practice.” On insured Connecticut plans, the statute defines diagnosis as done by a licensed physician, psychologist or LCSW. [1][7]
- **Diagnostic tools required**: CPB 0648 names the ADI-R, ADOS-2, CARS-2 and the Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale. The ABA guide requires a standardized functional measure from the past 12 months (VABS-3, ABAS, VB-MAPP or ABLLS as examples). [4][1]
- **Referral required?**: Aetna’s national ABA documents require precertification of all ten ABA codes, not a physician referral. For a fully insured Connecticut plan, §§ 38a-514b(c) and 38a-488b(c) cover ABA only when it is “identified and ordered by a licensed physician, licensed psychologist or licensed clinical social worker” and follows a treatment plan by a licensed behavior analyst, physician, psychologist or LCSW. Get that order before the first request. Self-funded ERISA plans are outside the statute. [2][7]
- **Age limit** _(plan-dependent)_: Aetna’s guide sets no age cap; its age ranges are typical, not limits. For fully insured Connecticut plans, the mandate covers behavioral therapy for children under 21 today and for individuals under 26 from January 1, 2027 (Nov. Sp. Sess. P.A. 25-3). It has no dollar cap. Self-funded ERISA plans are outside the statute, so the plan’s funding type decides whether this applies. [1][7][8]
  - Ask the plan: Live benefits verification: fully insured vs. self-funded ERISA, then the plan’s own age terms.
- **Telehealth** _(plan-dependent)_: Aetna’s Telemedicine and Direct Patient Contact Payment Policy marks 97151, 97153, 97155, 97156 and 97157 as eligible by telehealth for commercial plans, with modifier GT, 95 or FR. 97152, 97154 and 97158 are marked for Medicare Advantage only. The posted policy shows a last review of June 2021, so treat the list as perishable. Aetna’s manual (6/26) says Aetna Behavioral Health “offers telehealth services to all commercial fully insured members and to all commercial self-insured plan sponsors, unless those self-insured plan sponsors opt out.” For a fully insured Connecticut plan, § 38a-526a (group; § 38a-499a for individual policies) requires coverage of care “provided through telehealth, to the extent coverage is provided for such advice, diagnosis, care or treatment when provided through in-person consultation between the insured and a health care provider licensed in the state.” A plan may not exclude a service “solely because such service is provided only through telehealth … provided telehealth is appropriate for the provision of such service,” and any utilization review must use the same criteria as for in-person care. The section’s own list of “telehealth provider” professions does not name behavior analysts (chapter 382a), so ask the carrier how it treats ABA under it. Self-funded employer plans are outside the statute. Aetna’s Telemedicine and Direct Patient Contact Payment Policy (posted policy shows last review June 2021) marks 97151, 97153, 97155, 97156 and 97157 as telehealth-eligible on commercial plans with modifier GT, 95 or FR; neither it nor the provider toolkit names a telehealth place-of-service code or says the precertification must flag telehealth. [6][5][9]
  - Ask the plan: Availity or the precertification line on the card: ask whether the plan is fully insured in Connecticut or self-funded (and opted out of telehealth), and which ABA codes Aetna pays by telehealth.
- **Prior-auth decision time** _(plan-dependent)_: Depends on how the plan is funded. Fully insured Connecticut plans fall under § 38a-591d. For a non-urgent prospective or concurrent request, the carrier must decide “not later than seven calendar days after the date the health carrier receives such request.” It may extend once by up to five calendar days for circumstances beyond its control, or by up to fifteen if the clinician says the service will not start for at least three months. Retrospective requests get 30 days. Urgent requests are decided within 24 hours. A concurrent urgent request to extend a course of treatment counts only if made at least 24 hours before the current authorization ends. After a medical-necessity denial, the carrier must offer your clinician a conference with a clinical peer, who has authority to reverse the denial. Self-funded employer (ERISA) plans follow 29 CFR 2560.503-1 instead: pre-service decisions “not later than 15 days after receipt of the claim,” one 15-day extension, urgent care within 72 hours. Aetna publishes no Connecticut-specific ABA turnaround. [10][16]
  - Ask the plan: At benefits verification ask whether the plan is fully insured (Connecticut-regulated) or self-funded (ERISA), and what reauthorization lead time Aetna expects.
- **Other insurance (who pays first)** _(plan-dependent)_: Aetna is primary to Connecticut Medicaid. HUSKY Health is “the payer of last resort,” and if a member has third-party coverage “the benefits of these policies must be fully exhausted prior to claim submission” to Medicaid (42 CFR 433.139). So be in the commercial network and get its authorization as well as the Carelon BH CT authorization. TRICARE pays after this plan (10 U.S.C. 1079(i)(1)). CHAMPVA is “the last payer” (38 CFR 17.270). Connecticut’s autism statutes let insured coverage carry the policy’s ordinary coordination-of-benefits terms (§ 38a-514b(f)). We did not read Connecticut’s coordination-of-benefits regulation, so get the order between two parents’ plans from the carriers. [17][18][19][20][7]
  - Ask the plan: Ask Aetna at benefits verification for the member’s coordination-of-benefits order between both parents’ plans, and record every other coverage the child has (HUSKY, TRICARE, CHAMPVA).

## Delivery and billing rules

Coverage decides whether Aetna in Connecticut pays. These decide whether the claim survives: staffing and supervision, concurrent billing, per-day ceilings, who signs the note, where the service is payable, and whose NPI the claim goes out under.

- **Supervision**: Aetna’s participation criteria (5/26): ABA must be “provided directly or supervised by individuals licensed by the state or certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board”; “A minimum of one hour of face-to-face supervision” of an unlicensed or noncertified paraprofessional “for each 10 hours of applied behavior analysis,” plus the supervisor “onsite with the child at least one hour a month.” “All BCBAs, BCaBAs and paraprofessionals must meet state requirements.” For insured Connecticut plans, the statute sets the same 1-in-10 face-to-face standard and requires the supervisor to be a licensed behavior analyst, physician or psychologist. Aetna’s guide and Network Participation Criteria publish no cap on the number of technicians one BCBA may supervise. [3][7]
- **Daily limits / MUEs**: No per-day or per-week cap. The guide gives typical intensities of 10–25 hours a week for comprehensive and 1–20 for focused programs, and reviews progress every six months. Insured Connecticut plans may not limit visits except for lack of medical necessity. [1][7]
- **Place of service**: Aetna’s guide sets no setting restriction for outpatient ABA. The Connecticut mandate does not require insured plans to pay for special education and related services under an IEP. [1][7]
- **Bill as provider**: Services must be “provided directly or billed by licensed behavior analysts (in states with behavior analyst licensure laws), board-certified behavior analysts, or licensed psychologists.” In Connecticut the billing clinician should hold the DPH behavior analyst license. [1][12]
- **Concurrent billing (97153 + 97155)** _(ask the plan)_: Not addressed in Aetna’s published ABA documents (the medical necessity guide, precertification list and participation criteria). [1]
  - Ask the plan: Aetna provider services, your participation agreement, or a written coding determination from Aetna Behavioral Health.
- **Session-note signature** _(ask the plan)_: Not addressed. Aetna’s guide sets treatment-plan contents, not who signs a session note or by when. [1]
  - Ask the plan: Your Aetna participation agreement and the Aetna Behavioral Health provider manual documentation section.

## What intake should collect for Aetna in Connecticut

- **Plan funding type:** Fully insured (§ 38a-514b applies) or self-funded ERISA (plan document governs).
- **Member ID + card photo:** Enough to run a live benefits verification.
- **Diagnosis report:** DSM-5 ASD diagnosis, the diagnosing provider and credentials, and the evaluation date.
- **Standardized functional measure:** Aetna wants one from the past 12 months (for example Vineland-3, ABAS, VB-MAPP or ABLLS).
- **Order from a licensed clinician:** The mandate covers ABA ordered by a licensed physician, psychologist or LCSW.

## Common questions

### Does Aetna accept H0031, H0032 or H2019 for ABA?

No. Aetna’s ABA policy lists only CPT 97151–97158, 0362T and 0373T.

### Does Aetna require graphs for an ABA reauthorization?

Its ABA guide asks for repeated measurement with standardized measures and a progress evaluation every six months; it does not mention graphs.

### What is Aetna’s timely filing limit for ABA claims?

Aetna’s provider toolkit (6/26) does not print one; the filing limit is in your Aetna agreement.

### Does Aetna cover ABA therapy in Connecticut?

Yes, under its national ABA guide for ASD, with Connecticut’s § 38a-514b / § 38a-488b mandate added for fully insured plans. Self-funded employer plans follow their own documents.

### Does the Aetna ABA assessment need precertification in Connecticut?

Yes. 97151 and 97152 are on Aetna’s behavioral health precertification list along with every ABA treatment code.

### What does Aetna pay for ABA in Connecticut?

Aetna publishes no ABA rates; payment follows the rates in your agreement. Insured claims must be paid within 20 days electronic or 60 days paper under § 38a-816(15). Connecticut Medicaid’s 97153 rate ($14.00 per 15 minutes) is the only public benchmark.

### Do Connecticut licensure laws stop a BCBA without a Connecticut license from practicing there, including by telehealth?

Yes. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-185j says “No person may practice behavior analysis unless licensed.” A current BCBA gets the license from DPH by showing BACB certification ($350, renewed yearly), and § 20-185l offers licensure by endorsement. RBTs, technicians and BCaBAs working under a licensed behavior analyst’s supervision do not need their own license. Telehealth into Connecticut also requires the Connecticut license: the telehealth statute (§ 19a-906) defines a telehealth provider as someone licensed under title 20, and its temporary route for out-of-state behavior analysts applied only on or before June 30, 2025 (2026 Supplement text). On a fully insured plan, the autism mandate covers behavioral therapy only when it is provided or supervised by a licensed behavior analyst, physician or psychologist.
