Aetna Psychiatrist in Manchester, CT — In-Network Care at Elite Health LLC

Manchester residents with Aetna insurance no longer need to drive far or sit on a long waiting list to get psychiatric care. Elite Health LLC is in-network with Aetna, and Sindhia Shyras, APRN is currently accepting new patients. Sindhia is a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over nine years of experience working with adults on depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and insomnia. She offers telehealth appointments for all Connecticut residents — so if you're in Manchester, you can meet with her from home. Most Aetna plans cover telehealth at the same rate as an in-person specialist visit. There's no need to fight traffic out to New Britain unless you want to come in person.

What Aetna Covers for Psychiatric Services

Psychiatric care is covered the same as any specialist visit under Aetna — federal mental health parity law requires it. Most CT Aetna members pay a $20–$60 copay per in-network visit. That includes your first psychiatric evaluation and follow-up medication management appointments. And in most plans, you don't need a referral. Some plans do require prior authorization for ongoing medication management — if yours does, Sindhia's office handles the paperwork. You're not left to sort that out on your own. If you're not sure what your plan covers, call the member services number on your Aetna card or check at Aetna.com before scheduling.

Serving the Manchester Community — From Buckley to Charter Oak

Manchester is a town that gets things done — and people here tend to push through a lot before they ask for help. But when anxiety or depression or ADHD starts affecting your job, your family, or your sleep, pushing through stops being a strategy. Sindhia doesn't judge where you're coming from or how long it took you to make the call. She just works with you to figure out what's actually happening and what might help. She's treated patients from Manchester for years — and she understands that people here want straight answers, not a lot of hand-holding.
