Important Notes

• BetterHelp and Talkspace are popular but primarily out-of-pocket (Talkspace does accept some insurance)
• Coverage varies significantly by your specific plan and state
• Always verify your benefits before signing up

Best Steps Before Choosing

1. Call your insurance company and ask for in-network telehealth providers

Headway and Alma are particularly worth checking first if insurance coverage is your priority, as their entire model is built around matching you with in-network providers.
