Does Sesame Care accept insurance?

No. Sesame is cash-pay only. You pay upfront and can submit the receipt to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement, but Sesame doesn't bill insurance directly. This keeps prices transparent but means no copay benefits.

How much does therapy cost on Sesame?

$75-130 per session, with most therapists charging around $104. Prices vary by provider and state. You see the exact price before booking. No hidden fees.

How much does psychiatry cost on Sesame?

$100-175 for follow-up visits, but initial psychiatric consultations can run $250-350 depending on location. The $79/month Mental Health Rx subscription is worth considering if you need ongoing medication management.

Can Sesame psychiatrists prescribe Adderall or Xanax?

No. Sesame providers cannot prescribe controlled substances including stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin), benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium), or opioids. You'll need a different provider for these medications.

What is the Mental Health Rx subscription?

$79/month subscription that includes video visits with a provider, unlimited messaging, and seamless prescription refills for non-controlled medications. Good option if you're stable on SSRIs/SNRIs and just need regular check-ins and refills.

How does Sesame compare to Cerebral or Done?

Sesame is a marketplace (you pick any provider), not a single company. Cerebral and Done specialize in ADHD and can prescribe stimulants—Sesame cannot. Sesame is better for anxiety/depression treatment with non-controlled meds, or general therapy.

Is Sesame good for ADHD treatment?

Only if you don't need stimulant medication. Sesame psychiatrists can prescribe non-stimulant ADHD meds like Strattera or Wellbutrin, but not Adderall, Vyvanse, or Ritalin. For stimulant prescriptions, look at Done, Cerebral, or Talkiatry instead.
