Insurance Coverage

Most benefits plans cover certain types of mental health services. It is highly likely that most of BRIA’s credentialed healthcare providers will be covered by your specific benefits plan or health spending account.

We suggest you review your plan to see which specific healthcare providers are covered, prior to starting with BRIA so we can match you to the best provider.

Does Bria see people in crisis or those needing urgent care?

BRIA is not an urgent care service. Since we only offer virtual services, we do not offer care to those with an acute mental illness who are better seen in a hospital or in-person setting.

This includes: 

People in crisis

People who have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital within the past 3 months

People who are suicidal or who have been treated for suicidality in the past 3 months

People in a manic episode or who have been manic in the past 3 months

People who have active psychotic symptoms or an untreated psychotic illness

People with active substance use concerns, or who have had active concerns over the past 3 months

If you are in crisis, please go to the nearest emergency department, call 911, or call or text 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline.

Do I have to do a MINI if I know which service I want?

We have created the MINI Mental Health Assessment to be your starting point with BRIA. There are many benefits to starting with the MINI:

  • For Therapist Matching: Your BRIA Care Coordinator will get to know you and can match you well with a therapist who specializes in your stage and concerns and who you are likely to connect with. (You can book many therapies directly, but we have found that people have strong success in therapy when they are matched via the MINI.) 
  • For the Right Services: You will get a personalized Care Plan with suggestions for services that can help you at this stage. We want to be sure you that BRIA can offer you services that are suitable for your needs.
  • To be referred to any of the BRIA Assessments: In order to have a MAXI Mental Health Assessment (including psychiatry consult), ADHD Assessment, or MEDI Hormone Health Assessment (for perimenopause or PMS), you must first do a MINI.

You can book a MINI directly here, or by pasting this URL into your browser: https://betterbria.janeapp.com/#/mini-mental-health-assessment .

Can BRIA write a letter to help me take a sick leave from work?

Generally, BRIA staff do not write letters for medical sick leaves or accommodations in the workplace. The reason to get care at BRIA is to get the services to support your recovery and to help you feel better so that you can function at your best, at home and at work.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No! You can start by booking a MINI Mental Health Assessment directly. You will then be given an individualized Care Plan, which may include recommendations for a more in-depth hormone or mental health assessment. You can book the MINI here.

You can start right away by self-booking BRIA therapies, sleep support, or care with our Registered Dietitian. Book those services directly here.

What services does BRIA offer in perimenopause or menopause?

At BRIA, we understand the potentially complex challenges and stresses of midlife. BRIA clinicians have extensive experience treating women going through perimenopause and menopause, and will provide evidence-based treatments with empathy.

During our MEDI comprehensive hormone assessment, a BRIA nurse clinician will assess your physical and mental health concerns and may prescribe menopause hormone therapy. Since many women struggle with depression and anxiety in perimenopause and menopause, you may also get a MAXI mental health assessment to address your mental health needs. 

In addition, you can start individual therapy, couples therapy or sex therapy. Our mental health providers are “Menopause Mental Health Certified by BRIA.” You can also book sleep support here or get advice from our expert Registered Dietitian here.

What services does BRIA offer in pregnancy or the postpartum period?

At BRIA, we understand the potentially complex challenges and stresses of pregnancy and the postpartum period.

We offer comprehensive mental health and other services to support you and your partner as you navigate pregnancy and becoming parents.

In addition to individual therapy, we offer couples therapy and our MAXI comprehensive mental health assessment, including medication reviews. You can also book sleep support here (for yourself and also for sleep training your baby) or get advice from our dietitian here.
