Finding an in-network therapist through First Choice Health can be more challenging than it should be. As a regional health network serving the Pacific Northwest — including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Wyoming — First Choice Health partners with local and regional employers to provide affordable healthcare coverage. But their provider directories don't always reflect current availability, and many therapists listed are no longer accepting new patients.
At Talk. Heal. Thrive., we're in-network with First Choice Health and actively accepting new clients. We verify your benefits before your first session so you know exactly what to expect — your copay, your deductible status, and what's covered.

First Choice Health is a regional health network based in the Pacific Northwest, offering PPO and network rental products through partnerships with local employers. Mental health benefits on First Choice Health plans are subject to Washington State parity laws, which require mental health coverage to be comparable to medical and surgical coverage. Here is what First Choice Health members typically have access to:
Individual therapy sessions. One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist are a covered benefit on most First Choice Health plans, billed at your in-network mental health benefit rate.
Telehealth therapy. Washington State requires insurers to cover telehealth mental health services — our 100% online format qualifies under this coverage.
No referral required. You can start therapy without a referral from your primary care physician. Washington State law allows direct access to mental health services.
Specialties we treat. Our therapists work with anxiety, depression, trauma (EMDR), relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and more — all within the scope of covered mental health treatment.
Coverage details vary by plan and employer group. We verify your specific First Choice Health benefits before your first session, so you will know your in-network copay rate and any deductible that applies. You can also check your benefits by calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card.
