Are there financial aid options available at Better Help?

This is directly from the BetterHelp Blog; I believe you need to get in contact with billing for financial assistance. If you are unsuccessful, I would see if there are local outpatient clinics in your area that can provide therapy at a sliding scale fee, which may be a more affordable option for you. However, I believe you should be able to apply for financial aid and get treatment on a sliding scale. Contact BetterHelp's customer service and ask to speak to billing. I think if you contact customer service they can direct you in the right direction for this question. 

Deciding to see a therapist to address your emotional problems and mental health concerns using contemporary psychotherapy may be one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. It is a hard enough decision for many people without having to worry about how they will pay for it. Yet, professional fees can be a burden if you are lower income or otherwise do not have adequate income to pay them and keep your household running simultaneously.

Many people do not seek treatment because their financial situation means they cannot afford it, which is a big problem in our society. Even those with health insurance have this problem because many do not cover mental health care. Note that therapists should provide a Good Faith Representation document for uninsured or self-pay clients, which contains estimated expenses that reduce the risk of unexpected bills. One solution offered by many counselors is sliding scale fee therapy. If you qualify based on financial difficulty, this fee structure can allow you to access therapy without bankrupting you. If you need a
greater discount than is offered by private therapists, you may want to consider free or lower-cost community mental health services. 

Is BetterHelp free?

BetterHelp provides fee-based online mental health services to help couples and families deal with relationship issues, gain access to support groups, and provides access to free mental health resources. The BetterHelp platform offers affordable therapy based on contemporary psychotherapy practices -- at a fraction of the cost of traditional in-office therapy, plus you can cancel BetterHelp at any time. If you have questions about payment details, please contact customer service.

Does insurance cover BetterHelp?

BetterHelp offers affordable psychotherapy that can be less than a health insurance co-payment in many cases. However, most insurance companies don't directly cover the costs. Clients using the BetterHelp platform gain access to affordable sliding-scale therapy and counseling services that meet their financial and emotional needs.
