Online mental health treatment through Thrizer
*Note to the reader: MoodRx is now accepting Aetna, Optum, and Medicare insurance plans for Pennsylvania residents ONLY.*
Mental health should always be a priority, whether that means maintaining good mental health or treating mental health challenges and disorder symptoms. It can also be difficult to manage your mental health on your own, and that’s OK. Seeking help, such as online mental health treatment, shows that you’re ready to take the steps needed to become the best, and happiest, version of yourself. Unfortunately, finances often get in the way.
Online mental health treatment often refers to virtual psychotherapy sessions, which help people talk through situations that are interfering with their mental health, learn coping mechanisms for their symptoms and increase their emotional intelligence. But for many people, the right psychotherapist may not be covered by their insurance, or they may not understand what benefits they’re eligible for by using an out-of-network therapist. The good news is that Thrizer is here to help.
We’ll talk about how Thrizer can help MoodRx clients and what to expect when you start it. Then we’ll delve into the specifics of how we can help you with online mental health treatment while using the pay platform.
