Documentation Required
- No specific documentation requirements are stated in this Clinical Policy Bulletin.
Key Coverage Criteria
- None — Aetna considers total body (full-body or whole-body) CT screening or full-body ultrafast (electron-beam) CT screening experimental and investigational because it has not been shown to be effective as a screening test.
- Total-body CT screening for patients with no symptoms or a family history suggesting disease is not supported (per ACR statement quoted in the policy).
