Deliver care where it’s needed most — we’ll handle the rest.

Rula is an inclusive mental healthcare organization redefining the mental healthcare system to improve accessibility, affordability, and quality of care.

We currently partner with Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Kaiser, Anthem, United Healthcare, and Oscar, and are continuing to expand our insurance partnerships.

To join our network, providers:

Must be licensed as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), or Licensed Psychologist

Must be able to provide telehealth

Joining and using Rula is completely free, with no minimum hours or caseload requirements. Our providers have the freedom to decide their client load and schedule.

This varies by license type and location. To get more specific details, complete our quick “get started” form above and schedule time to speak with one of our dedicated team members.

Medicare beneficiaries primarily consist of people over the age of 65 (but also include some people who are under 65 with certain conditions or disabilities). 

Medicaid beneficiaries primarily consist of low-income individuals.

These patients can encounter a limited pool of providers as not all providers are eligible to treat these beneficiaries or bill for services.

Expanding our services to this patient population is a continuation of Rula’s mission to make mental healthcare work for everyone.

Compensation will be the same when treating Medicare and Medicaid clients as it is for commercial clients.

Yes. Your benefits can be reassigned to more than one employer/group. You will receive a different PTAN for each case, and you will be able to see all the groups that you are linked to via your PECOS portal.
