Aetna Clinical Policy Bulletins (CPBs) are detailed and technical documents that explain how we make coverage decisions for members under our health benefit plans. They spell out what medical, dental, pharmacy and behavioral health technologies and services may or may not be covered.

CPBs are based on evidence from objective, credible sources:

Scientific literature
Technology reviews
Consensus statements
Expert opinions
Guidelines from national professional health care organization
Public health agencies
