Policy Summary
Aetna deems certain therapies—e.g., acupuncture, adoptive immunotherapy (see CPB 0641), Amytrap, and applied behavior analysis—experimental and investigational for Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, and amnestic MCI and does not cover them. These treatments are excluded because their effectiveness for these indications has not been established and no coverage criteria are provided.
