Transparent pricing, budget-conscious options, and specialized care. Understanding therapy costs shouldn't stand between you and the support you need.
We believe high-quality mental health care should be accessible. Whether you're using out-of-network benefits, paying out of pocket, or exploring sliding scale options, our care team will work with you to find a financial arrangement and clinician that fit your goals.
Share your budget and what you're looking for, and we'll guide you through your payment and reimbursement options, so you can skip the long waitlists and connect with a specialist right away.
We serve veterans and the military community through TriWest Healthcare Alliance. While our contract transitions to Alira, TriWest care is provided through our affiliated practice, Therapy InMotion, so your authorization, claims, and statements will show Therapy InMotion. TriWest is billed directly according to your authorization.
Veteran care at Alira →For all other networks (BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United), we're an out-of-network provider. Depending on your plan's out-of-network benefits, many commercial plans reimburse a portion of session costs, often 50% to 80% after deductibles are met. We provide all the documentation you need for reimbursement.
In-network panels are often full, with long waitlists, rigid scheduling, and high caseloads. Directories also match clients by panel openings rather than advanced training in areas like couples therapy. Going out of network lets you connect directly with a specialist, with prompt availability, flexible treatment, and more control over your records.
| Typical in-network experience | Out-of-network care at Alira | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Full caseloads and extended waitlists (often 4–12+ weeks) | Prompt scheduling and flexible appointment times |
| Provider expertise | Limited to available network panels | A direct match with highly trained, specialized clinicians |
| Care control | Session length and frequency managed by insurance rules | Care length and frequency tailored to your goals |
| Privacy & records | Required diagnosis, with session notes subject to insurance review | Diagnosis needed only if you submit superbills; no records shared if you pay out of pocket |
