Chances are yes. Therapy Works accepts most health insurance, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare, and we check your coverage for therapy in spanish no strings attached before your first date. If you don't have insurance, we have affordable rates.
Below we explain how to find out what your plan covers, what the weird words on your policy mean, and what happens if you pay on your own.

We work with most health insurances, including:
- BCBS
- Aetna
- Cigna
- United Healthcare
- Curative.

The same insurer sells many different plans, and each has its own network and rules. That's why even if you see your insurer listed, it's a good idea to have your plan verified before you get started. Verification is non-binding.
How do I know if my plan covers therapy?
You have two paths: you send us your data and we review it for you, or you call your insurance. If you prefer to call, have your card handy and look back for the member services or mental health number (sometimes it says behavioral health).
Here are the questions worth asking:
- Does my plan cover mental health therapy as an outpatient (outpatient)?
- Is Therapy Works within my network (in-network)?
- How much is my deductible and how much have I paid this year?
- Do I have copayment or coinsurance per session? How much?
- Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
- Is there a limit of sessions per year?
- Do you cover video sessions as well as in-person sessions?
Write down the name of the person who cared for you and the date. If there are later doubts with a payout, it will help you.
What do deductible, copayment, and coinsurance mean?
These are the ways you share the cost with your insurance. According to HealthyChildren.org, American Academy of Pediatrics:
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Deductible | What you pay in full out of pocket each year before the insurance starts to pay. |
| Copay | A fixed amount you pay for each session. |
| Coinsurance | A percentage of the cost of each session; insurance pays the rest. |
| Out-of-Pocket Max (Ind. | The most you would pay in a plan year. When you get there, you no longer pay cost-sharing. |
Example: If your plan has a high deductible and you still don't meet it, you may pay more per session at first. When you meet it, you only pay your copay or coinsurance.
How much does uninsured therapy cost?

Does insurance cover couples or family therapy?
It depends on the plan. Some cover individual therapy without problem, but have different rules for couples or family sessions.
If you care, Couple Therapy or the family therapy in spanish, let us know when you ask for verification to review that specific point.
Does insurance cover online therapy?
Many plans cover video sessions as well as in-person sessions, but not all. Ask when verifying your coverage.
In Therapy Works you can choose: online video therapy, on a secure, HIPAA-certified platform, or in person in Dallas, Bedford, Garland, or Frisco. It's the same therapist and the same approach.
If I use my insurance, is my therapy still confidential?
Yes. What you talk about in session is protected by HIPAA privacy law. To pay, the insurer typically asks for certain information, such as session dates and a clinical code; it doesn't receive your notes or what you account for.
