How we check coverage

Before your first session we confirm your benefits with the plan, including any copay, deductible or visit limits, so the first bill is not a surprise. Bring your member ID to the free consult and we take it from there.
Coverage depends on your specific plan. We tell you what we find, even when it means another option is cheaper for you.

Questions people ask

UnitedHealthcare and therapy, answered plainly.

Why does my UHC card say Optum?

Optum manages mental health benefits for many UnitedHealthcare plans. Either name on your card works with the clinicians listed here.

Can I use my plan for online sessions?

Most commercial plans cover telehealth the same way they cover office visits, but plans differ. We check yours before you start. Telehealth is open to anyone located in Michigan during the session. How online therapy works

How fast can I start?

Start with a free 15-minute phone consult with the clinician you’d actually see. First sessions are usually within about a week of that call.

What if I’m in crisis?

Riverside is not a crisis service. If you’re in crisis, call 988 or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.

Bring your card. We’ll handle the rest.
