Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers from licensed insurance experts.

Are therapy sessions covered by health insurance?
Yes. All ACA plans cover mental health therapy, including individual, couples, family, and group therapy. Coverage parity laws require equal treatment with medical benefits.
Is telehealth therapy covered?
Almost universally yes. Most plans cover telehealth therapy at the same rate as in-person — and many therapists work exclusively via telehealth now.
How do I find an in-network therapist?
Networks vary widely. We help match you to plans with strong therapy networks in your area, or specifically verify your current therapist is covered.
Does insurance cover psychiatric medications?
Yes — SSRIs (Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro), SNRIs (Effexor), mood stabilizers, ADHD medications (Adderall, Vyvanse), and antipsychotics are all covered. Generic versions are typically cheap.
What about substance abuse treatment?
ACA plans must cover substance use disorder treatment — including detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient counseling, and medication-assisted treatment (Suboxone, methadone).
