Is it covered by sun life insurance through my work

Hello Shelley,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your nephew. Losing someone to suicide can bring a grief that feels heavy and disorienting, and reaching out for support is a caring step.

Regarding BetterHelp insurance coverage: BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability.

For eligible members, the average copay is $23 per session. Members can review BetterHelp's insurance options and check in-network status on the BetterHelp site during the sign-up flow. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability.

Many providers on BetterHelp accept select plans from major carriers. These include Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and regional Blue Cross Blue Shield plans (including Anthem, CareFirst, and Highmark). Availability varies by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability.

Many people can use HSA or FSA funds to help pay for therapy services, as therapy may be considered a qualified medical expense. If insurance isn't available at this time, BetterHelp's flexible subscription model, typically $70 to $100 per week, is a quality alternative. Eligibility may vary.

During sign-up, members are matched with a licensed therapist based on their preferences. With online therapy, members can meet a licensed therapist from the comfort of home and move forward at their own pace. Exploring BetterHelp insurance options during sign-up can help members plan for care.

Anyone who may be in immediate danger should contact local emergency services or a crisis line right away. In the U.S., the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline offers free support any time, day or night.
