Sensory Integration Therapy and Auditory Integration Training – Commercial and Individual Exchange Medical Policyopen_in_new

UnitedHealthcare deems sensory integration therapy (SIT) and auditory integration training (AIT) unproven, not medically necessary, and therefore not covered for any condition (CPT 97533 listed for reference only and does not imply coverage). The determination is based on insufficient/conflicting evidence and safety concerns (including possible hearing harm and psychiatric risk); there are no clinical indications, documentation requirements, or patient criteria in the policy, and coverage is ultimately governed by the member’s specific benefit plan or a Medicare Advantage organization’s evidence-based determination.

"None. Sensory integration therapy (SIT) and auditory integration training (AIT) are stated as unproven and not medically necessary for treating any condition due to insufficient evidence of efficacy."
