Cerebral pairs therapy and medication management and publishes its cash prices. Without insurance, the medication plan costs $180 every 3 months and includes a 40 minute evaluation, progress checks, medication guidance and unlimited messaging with the care team. Therapy costs $175 per session or $795 for 3 months, with weekly video sessions of up to 60 minutes and messaging between them. Cerebral accepts insurance, works in all 50 states and says it has 600+ therapists and prescribers, with calendars you can browse and same day intake in some states. If you are out of network, it files the claim for you. Every plan follows a structured approach with assessments about every 30 days. Two limits stand out: Cerebral does not prescribe controlled substances, which rules out common ADHD stimulants, and its in-house pharmacy does not take insurance.
