What Aetna Members Pay for Dual Diagnosis Treatment at Freeman
Understanding your financial responsibility upfront removes one major barrier to getting the comprehensive care you need for both addiction and mental health conditions. Most Aetna plans include robust behavioral health benefits that significantly reduce your costs.
- Deductible: Typical Aetna deductibles for behavioral health range from $500-$3,000 annually, though many plans have separate, lower deductibles for mental health and substance abuse services
- Coinsurance: After meeting your deductible, Aetna typically covers 70-80% of dual diagnosis treatment costs, leaving you responsible for 20-30%
- Out-of-pocket maximum: Most Aetna plans cap your annual behavioral health costs at $2,000-$6,000, after which Aetna pays 100% of covered services
- In-network advantage: As an in-network provider, Freeman Recovery Center has negotiated rates with Aetna that are substantially lower than out-of-network facilities

Why Patients Using Aetna Choose Freeman Recovery Center
The financial side of dual diagnosis treatment matters, but so does what that coverage is actually paying for. Freeman Recovery Center brings a level of clinical depth and community integration that is uncommon for a facility of its size in Middle Tennessee.
A few things that consistently set FRC apart:
- More than 50% of clinical staff are personally in recovery. This is not a marketing line. It shapes the culture of care in every session and every conversation on the unit.
- Full continuum under one provider. Patients move from detox to residential to PHP to IOP to outpatient sober living without switching facilities, losing their clinical team, or navigating a new intake process. For Aetna members, this continuity also simplifies billing across levels of care.
- Freeman Health Partners integration. FRC’s sister organization provides psychiatric evaluation, medication management, TMS therapy, and MAT within the same clinical network, extending the depth of dual diagnosis care beyond what most standalone addiction facilities offer.
- The “Arise” faith-based recovery track. For patients whose recovery is grounded in faith, FRC offers a Christ-centered, biblically based track alongside secular programming options. No other large dual diagnosis facility in Middle Tennessee offers this level of specificity in faith-integrated care.
- Joint Commission accreditation and Tennessee DMHSAS licensure. These credentials are not just regulatory checkboxes. They signal that FRC meets the clinical standards Aetna requires for in-network provider agreements.
- 60+ properties and 200 beds across Tennessee. With a scale that allows same-day admissions in most cases, FRC does not operate a long waiting list for patients whose insurance is ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions: Aetna Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Does Aetna require prior authorization for dual diagnosis treatment?
Aetna typically requires prior authorization for residential treatment lasting more than 14 days, but outpatient dual diagnosis services like PHP and IOP often don’t need pre-approval. Our admissions team handles all authorization paperwork and follows up with Aetna until your treatment is approved. We’ll let you know exactly what’s required for your specific plan before you begin treatment.
Will Aetna cover both my addiction counselor and psychiatrist?
Yes, Aetna covers integrated dual diagnosis treatment that includes both addiction counseling and psychiatric services under your behavioral health benefits. At Freeman Recovery Center, you’ll have access to addiction specialists, licensed therapists, and psychiatrists who work together on your treatment plan. This coordinated approach is more effective than treating addiction and mental health separately.
What if my Aetna plan has a separate deductible for mental health services?
Many Aetna plans include behavioral health benefits with lower deductibles than medical services, which works in your favor for dual diagnosis treatment. Our benefits verification team will identify whether you have separate deductibles and explain how that impacts your costs for integrated addiction and mental health care.
Does Aetna cover medication-assisted treatment for dual diagnosis patients?
Aetna covers FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, Vivitrol, and psychiatric medications when prescribed as part of your dual diagnosis treatment plan. Our medical team coordinates with Freeman Health Partners to ensure your addiction recovery medications work safely with any psychiatric medications you need for depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.
Can I use my Aetna benefits for TMS therapy if I have depression and addiction?
Yes, Aetna often covers transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression, including when depression co-occurs with substance use disorders. Freeman Health Partners offers TMS as part of our dual diagnosis continuum, and we can verify your specific coverage for this innovative depression treatment.
What happens if I need to step down from residential to outpatient care?
Aetna covers the full continuum of dual diagnosis care, allowing you to transition seamlessly from our Burns residential campus to outpatient services at our Dickson location without changing providers. This continuity is crucial for people managing both addiction recovery and mental health conditions, and Aetna recognizes the medical necessity of this integrated approach.
