Teladoc Health review

Teladoc Health is often already paid for: its mental health page says many health plans and employers include its services as a covered benefit, so check your benefits portal first. Without coverage, therapy visits are $95 each, initial psychiatry visits $235 and psychiatry follow-ups $105, and no insurance is needed to start. You create an account, choose a licensed provider by profile, specialty and approach, and meet by phone or video on your own schedule, with messaging between sessions and the option to switch providers at any time. Teladoc adds coaching and digital programs, and therapy for teens aged 13 to 17, though psychiatric care is not available for that age group. Teladoc also offers additional therapy options through BetterHelp, which belongs to the same company. At $95 a visit, weekly self-pay therapy costs about $380 a month, more than the subscriptions but with longer live time than the messaging plans.
