Most insurance plans include some level of coverage for mental health care, though coverage for psychiatry — which often involves medication management — may have different copays or limits than coverage for talk therapy. You can check your mental health benefits by entering your insurance details on Headway, reviewing your explanation of benefits (EOB) for "behavioral health benefits," or calling your insurance company directly.

Yes, many psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners on Headway offer virtual appointments in addition to in-person sessions.

When you enter your insurance details on Headway, you can confirm whether virtual sessions are covered under your specific plan.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response to that medication over time. A therapist provides talk therapy for mental health concerns and may hold titles such as licensed counselor, social worker, or marriage and family therapist. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are advanced practice nurses who can also diagnose, prescribe, and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to support your needs.

Many insurance plans allow you to see a psychiatrist without a referral from a primary care provider. However, some plans — particularly HMO plans — may require one before covering the visit. Check with your insurance company or review your plan details to confirm whether a referral is needed.
