Does Bitcoin use authenticated encryption?

Authenticated encryption is when you sign a message with your private key forming a digital signature, then add that and the message together and encrypt it using the person your sending to’s public key so only they can access it.

Does Bitcoin use this? Or only send off the transaction with the digital signature?
