How do I apply/update my coverage on my existing Talkspace account?

While Talkspace is not currently in network with Medicare or Medicaid, we work with a number of employers, U.S. health plans, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), and educational organizations to help cover the cost of the getting the help you need. 

Existing clients can easily update and apply their employee benefits or health insurance coverage through their Talkspace account settings. When their coverage expires, they can continue using Talkspace through self-pay or other coverages by following the same Apply/update my Coverage steps below.

    • When asked how you would like to pay, follow the steps below depending on how you would like to proceed:

        • If you're not covered, you'll see a screen reflecting Talkspace’s out-of-pocket plans with a one-month discount on pricing.

Please note: After completing the steps above, a new room with your current provider will be created if you are eligible for coverage. You'll need to discontinue using your previous room after finishing any remaining sessions existing within the room. In a limited number of cases, you may be rematched if your existing provider is unable to continue services due to conflicts of interest with the health plan, etc.

Troubleshooting Insurance Validation Errors
If you’re experiencing difficulties in validating your eligibility and see a screen reflecting Talkspace’s out-of-pocket plans with a one-month discount on pricing, this most often indicates that Talkspace is not considered an in-network provider through your insurance plan.

If Talkspace is a partner of your health plan provider, you should've been directed to the We couldn’t verify your coverage for Talkspace page while following the Apply/Update my Coverage steps above. When you reach that page, please select the I’m sure my plan covers Talkspace option.

Afterward, you'll be prompted to provide your ID and insurance details. Once we receive your submission, our team will determine your eligibility and notify you via email of the next steps. Please ensure emails from Talkspace are not blocked.
