Which online psychiatry platforms take insurance?

Short answer: Many major telehealth companies do take insurance, but it varies by insurer, plan, provider network and state. Common platforms that frequently bill in‑network include:

• Teladoc (Teladoc Health) — widely contracted with insurers and employer plans; offers psychiatry and medication management and often appears as an in‑network telepsychiatry option.
• Amwell — partners with many large payers (Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, etc.) in many states; psychiatry visits are commonly covered when the platform is in‑network.
• Doctor On Demand / Included Health — used by many commercial plans and Medicare Advantage networks for behavioral health; often available in‑network for psychiatry.
• MDLIVE — a long‑standing telehealth vendor that is often in‑network with major insurers for behavioral health in many areas.
• Talkiatry — a telepsychiatry specialty provider that explicitly contracts with many commercial insurers and Medicare/Medicaid in some states, so insurance coverage is common.

Also worth noting:

• Zocdoc and Psychology Today are directories where you can filter/confirm which individual telepsychiatrists accept your insurance (useful if you want a particular clinician).
• Platforms that are often self‑pay/out‑of‑network or employer‑benefit focused include BetterHelp, Talkspace, Cerebral and Brightside (they may have some employer or limited insurer partnerships — check specifics).

How to confirm coverage (quick steps):

1. Check the platform’s “Check Insurance” or “Verify Coverage” tool on their website/app.
2. Call your insurer’s customer service and ask whether the platform/provider is in‑network for your plan and whether psychiatry/medication management telehealth is covered.
3. Ask the platform/provider for the exact billing taxonomy/contract name to give to your insurer if needed.

If you tell me your state and insurer (and whether you have commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or Original Medicare), I can look up the likeliest in‑network telepsychiatry options and next steps.
