MDLIVE review

MDLIVE sells therapy one visit at a time. The behavioral health page lists $0 to $179 for a first visit with a therapist and $0 to $140 for follow-ups with the same provider within 6 months, depending on insurance, with copays on participating plans as low as $0. Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes and use approaches such as CBT and mindfulness. You pick a licensed therapist or board-certified psychiatrist from MDLIVE's network, can keep the same one or switch, and can book seven days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. MDLIVE also treats children ages 10 to 17 and gives adult patients its Well-being Tools app for mood and sleep tracking, journaling and guided meditation. The trade-off is cost for weekly self-pay therapy: four follow-ups a month at $140 is more than any subscription here, and late cancellations carry a fee.
