Insurance We Accept
We strive to make seeing an online psychiatrist Texas affordable. Below is a summary of insurance logistics and some major insurers we partner with:
- We accept many major commercial plans such as Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross / Blue Shield of Texas, and others.
- Medicare coverage may be accepted depending on provider and eligibility.
- Some Texas public plans (e.g. HealthSelect) cover mental health virtual visits with no patient cost under certain conditions. healthselect.bcbstx.com
- For plans not in-network, we can provide you with a superbill you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement.
- Self-pay / private pay / sliding scale options are available when insurance is not an option.
- If you’re unsure whether your plan is accepted, we offer benefit verification during intake—so you’ll know your out-of-pocket cost up front.
Note: Telehealth psychiatry visits are often reimbursed similarly to in-person visits in Texas, but each insurer’s policy may vary.
Discharging from inpatient unit?
Transitioning from inpatient psychiatric care to outpatient follow-up is a critical moment. We support patients leaving the following types of inpatient units in Texas:
- State psychiatric hospitals (e.g. Texas State Hospital in San Antonio, Austin State Hospital)
- Private psychiatric hospitals (e.g. Baylor Scott & White, Texas Health, UT Health system psychiatric units)
- Academic medical centers with inpatient psychiatry (e.g. UT Southwestern, UT Health, Baylor College of Medicine)
- VA hospital psychiatric units in Texas
- Community behavioral health hospital units
Whether you are discharged from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or any other Texas hospital, we can coordinate closely with your inpatient team to arrange prompt follow-up, medication continuity, and stabilization via telehealth psychiatrist Texas.
Crisis support and resources
Your safety is our priority. If you or someone you know is in crisis, here are recommended resources:
- Call 911 immediately for an emergency
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – text or call 988
- Local county mental health crisis lines (e.g. Houston, Dallas, Travis counties)
- Texas 2-1-1 (mental health hotline)
- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (TALK)
- Local hospital emergency departments or psychiatric emergency services
- Mobile crisis outreach teams in your region
- SAMHSA’s National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP)
We encourage you to keep this information accessible and to reach out to local supports immediately if in danger. Telehealth care is not a substitute for immediate in-person help when a crisis is present.
