Teladoc Health review

Teladoc Health is one of the most widely offered telehealth benefits, and many health plans and employers include its mental health services. If yours does, a free account shows what you will pay. If not, the self-pay prices are plain: therapy visits are $95, initial psychiatry visits $235 and psychiatry follow-ups $105. You connect with licensed therapists and psychiatric providers by phone or video, and psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions such as anxiety and depression and prescribe when appropriate. Dependents aged 13 to 17 can get therapy, with a parent or guardian present at the start and end of the first visit, though psychiatry is not available for that age group. Teladoc also points to BetterHelp, its subscription service, for people who want messaging. The per-visit model suits people who want a session every few weeks rather than a weekly plan, and a $95 visit is among the lowest flat cash prices here.
