   Does my insurance cover virtual therapy sessions the same way as in-person visits?

   It depends on your specific health insurance plan, but many plans now cover virtual (telehealth) therapy similarly to in-person therapy. There are a few things to check:

   • Copay or coinsurance: Some plans charge the same amount for virtual and in-person mental health visits, while others have different cost-sharing.
   • Deductible: Virtual therapy may still be subject to your deductible if your plan requires it.
   • In-network requirements: Coverage is often best if your therapist is in your plan's network, whether the session is virtual or in person.
   • State and employer rules: Coverage can vary based on where you live, your employer's plan, and whether your plan is fully insured or self-funded.
   • Platform requirements: Some insurers require you to use specific telehealth providers or platforms, while others allow any in-network therapist who offers virtual sessions.

   The quickest way to find out is to:

   1. Check your plan's "Behavioral Health" or "Mental Health" benefits in your member portal or benefits booklet.
   2. Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
      • "Are virtual outpatient psychotherapy visits covered the same as in-person visits?"
      • "What is my copay or coinsurance for telehealth mental health visits?"
      • "Do I need to use a specific telehealth platform or can I see any in-network therapist virtually?"
   3. If you already have a therapist in mind, ask their office whether they accept your insurance for telehealth visits.

   If you tell me the name of your insurance company (and, if you know it, your plan name or whether it's through an employer or the Marketplace), I can help explain how telehealth coverage typically works for that plan.
