Policy Summary
Aetna excludes the BreastCare/BreastAlert Differential Temperature Sensor as experimental/investigational and not medically necessary because clinical utility, sensitivity/specificity, and diagnostic accuracy versus other breast‑cancer screening methods have not been demonstrated. Well‑designed comparative studies are required to establish effectiveness; no specific CPT/HCPCS code exists for the device.
