New and revised codes are added to the CPBs as they are updated. When billing, you must use the most appropriate code as of the effective date of the submission.

In the event that a member disagrees with a coverage determination, Aetna provides its members with the right to appeal the decision. In addition, a member may have an opportunity for an independent external review of coverage denials based on medical necessity or regarding the experimental and investigational status when the service or supply in question for which the member is financially responsible is $500 or greater. However, applicable state mandates will take precedence with respect to fully insured plans and self-funded non-ERISA (e.g., government, school boards, church) plans.</li> </ul> <p><a href="/individuals-families/member-rights-resources/claims-coverage/aetna-external-review-program.html" target="_self" class="link__text" data-analytics-name="See Aetna's External Review Program" data-modal="Please Select" data-linktype="Regular">See Aetna's External Review Program</a></p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>The five character codes included in the Aetna Clinical Policy Bulletins (CPBs) are obtained from Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), copyright 2015 by the American Medical Association (AMA).
