You'll need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone, plus a private space where you can talk openly. You must be physically located in the same state as your therapist during sessions.

94% of Rula patients found a provider they feel comfortable with. Rula's matching algorithm considers ~500,000 preference combinations to recommend providers based on clinical needs, gender, language, and cultural background—achieving a 97% exact match rate.

Therapists provide talk therapy to help you work through emotional challenges, develop coping strategies, and change behavioral patterns. Therapy sessions are typically 50-60 minutes.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication for mental health conditions. They often combine medication management with brief therapy sessions.

Many patients benefit from both: therapy for ongoing support and skill-building, plus psychiatry for medication when needed. Your Curative coverage includes both services through Rula. Psychiatry services are available for ages 13 and up, while therapy is available for ages 5 and up.

Yes. Your sessions are completely confidential—your therapist cannot share information about your care with Curative, your employer, or anyone else without your written consent.

Limited exceptions where therapists must report include:

• Risk of harm to yourself or others

• Suspected child or elder abuse

• Court order (rare situations)

Your therapist will discuss confidentiality and privacy during your first session so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes! Mental health therapy is a qualified medical expense for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). However, since Curative members who complete their Baseline Visit pay $0* for therapy sessions, you typically won't need to use HSA/FSA funds.

If you haven't completed your Baseline Visit yet, you can use pre-tax HSA/FSA dollars for:

• Therapy session copays

• Any applicable coinsurance amounts

This effectively reduces your therapy costs by your tax rate (typically 20-30% savings). Rula provides detailed receipts compatible with HSA/FSA requirements.

The Baseline Visit is a simple preventive care appointment that unlocks Curative's $0 copay, $0 deductible benefits for in-network care. Here's what you need to know:

• Complete your Baseline Visit within 120 days of enrollment

• Can be done virtually or in-person with any in-network provider

• Takes about 30 minutes and includes a health assessment

• Once completed, all in-network therapy sessions are $0*

Until you complete your Baseline Visit, standard contracted rates apply. We show your exact cost before booking. After completing your Baseline Visit, your copay drops to $0* for all in-network care, including therapy and psychiatry.

Yes! Curative covers all evidence-based therapy approaches at the same $0 rate* (after completing your Baseline Visit), including:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for emotion regulation

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for thought patterns

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) for values-based living

• IFS (Internal Family Systems) for parts work

• EMT (Emotional Focused Therapy)

Your therapist will use the approaches best suited for your specific needs and goals. All modalities have the same $0 copay through Curative* after completing your Baseline Visit.

Therapists must be licensed in the state where you're physically located during sessions. However, many Rula therapists hold licenses in multiple states, which helps:

• Frequent travelers who split time between states

• Remote workers relocating temporarily

• College students attending school in another state

• People living near state borders

Curative covers your therapy regardless of your therapist's home location, as long as both you and your therapist are licensed/located in the same state during the session. Search our directory for therapists licensed in your state.
