Hemodialysis for Schizophrenia

Hemodialysis for schizophrenia is excluded — Aetna considers it experimental/investigational with no covered indications (CPT 90935, 90937 and ICD‑10 F20.0–F20.9, Z49.01–Z49.32, Z99.2 not covered for this indication). The key requirement is that effectiveness has not been demonstrated and Medicare’s National Coverage Determination likewise finds the evidence inconclusive and does not cover it.
