Psychiatrists Accepting Aetna in Brooklyn and Online
If you have Aetna insurance, you can use your plan for psychiatric and therapy care at Good Health Psychiatric Services. Good Health is in-network with most Aetna plans, so your visits are billed at contracted rates instead of out-of-network prices. Your Aetna mental health coverage applies across the full course of care at our practice: the first psychiatric evaluation, follow-up medication management, individual psychotherapy, and specialized treatment such as TMS and Spravato for depression that has not improved with medication.
Our board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists are accepting new Aetna members on commercial, employer-sponsored, and Medicare Advantage plans. You can be seen in person at our Downtown Brooklyn office or by telehealth in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Connecticut, often on the same day you call or the next.

Psychiatric Services Accepting Aetna at Good Health
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation
Care at Good Health starts with a full psychiatric evaluation led by a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. During this visit, your clinician reviews your symptoms, history, and current medications, checks for co-occurring conditions, and outlines a treatment plan with you. Most Aetna plans cover this first visit as an outpatient behavioral health service.
Medication Management with an Aetna In-Network Psychiatrist
After your evaluation, an Aetna in-network psychiatrist or nurse practitioner manages your medication over time. Follow-up visits cover prescribing, tracking how you respond, adjusting doses, and addressing side effects. Aetna covered psychiatry follow-ups are billed as outpatient psychiatric care, and your prescriber chooses medications from your Aetna formulary whenever possible to help keep pharmacy costs down.
Individual Therapy with Therapists Who Take Aetna
Good Health's therapists who take Aetna include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), and psychologists. Depending on your diagnosis and goals, sessions may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, or other evidence-based approaches. Aetna plans generally cover outpatient individual therapy, though copays and any visit limits depend on your plan.
Does Aetna Cover TMS Therapy for Depression?
Yes, for patients who qualify. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for major depressive disorder. Under Aetna's clinical policy for TMS, coverage generally requires that two antidepressant trials, each taken at a full dose for at least 8 weeks, did not bring enough relief. Good Health submits the prior authorization request to Aetna for you before treatment starts.
Spravato (Esketamine) Treatment with Aetna
Spravato is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression, or with major depressive disorder and active suicidal thoughts. Each dose is given in our Brooklyn office, with a clinician monitoring you for the full observation period. Aetna covers Spravato when prior authorization and medical necessity requirements are met, and our clinical team prepares and submits that paperwork.

FAQ
Yes. Good Health Psychiatric Services is in-network with most Aetna plans, including commercial, employer-sponsored, and Medicare Advantage plans. Your visits are billed at Aetna’s contracted rates, which usually means a lower copay or coinsurance than you would pay an out-of-network psychiatrist. We confirm your network status and benefits at no charge before your first appointment.
Most Aetna plans cover telehealth psychiatry and therapy as outpatient behavioral health care. At Good Health, you can have video visits from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, or Connecticut, so you do not need to live near Brooklyn to see us. Some patients start by telehealth and move to office visits later, or combine both. Your copay for a video visit can differ from an office visit on some plans, so we check this when verifying your benefits.
Most Aetna PPO, Open Access, and Choice POS II plans let you book outpatient psychiatry and therapy without a referral. Some Aetna HMO plans ask for a referral from your primary care doctor before you see a specialist. To check, read your plan documents, log in to your Aetna member account, or call the member services number on your ID card. Our front desk also confirms referral rules when they verify your benefits.
Yes. Good Health accepts Aetna Medicare Advantage plans for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy. Medicare Advantage plans set their own copays and networks, which are separate from Original Medicare, so it is worth confirming that your specific Aetna Medicare plan includes Good Health. Our team can do this for you when you schedule.
Your cost depends on your plan’s copay or coinsurance and whether you have met your deductible. Under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, Aetna cannot apply stricter cost-sharing or visit limits to mental health care than it applies to comparable medical care. Before your first visit, Good Health sends you an estimate based on your actual Aetna benefits. If a claim is denied, our team can help document medical necessity for an appeal.
