In-Network First Choice Health Therapists in Washington State

As an in-network First Choice Health provider, your sessions are billed at your plan's in-network mental health rate. You pay your in-network copay; we bill First Choice Health directly for the covered portion. We verify your specific benefits — including any deductible and copay — before your first session, so there are no surprises. Your cost will depend on your specific plan, your employer group, and your deductible status. You can also check your benefits by calling the member services number on your insurance card.

No referral is needed. Washington State does not require a primary care referral for outpatient mental health services. You can contact us directly to begin your intake — we'll verify your First Choice Health benefits and match you with a licensed therapist. No extra steps or approvals from your primary care doctor.

First Choice Health is a regional health network headquartered in the Pacific Northwest, serving members in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Wyoming. Unlike large national insurers, First Choice Health partners primarily with local and regional employers to provide PPO and network rental products. This means your employer may offer a First Choice Health plan even if you haven't heard of the name as a major insurer. The good news: our practice is in-network with First Choice Health, and your mental health benefits work the same way as any other in-network plan — we verify, you pay your copay, and we handle the billing.

Yes. Washington State law requires insurers, including First Choice Health, to cover telehealth mental health services on par with in-person care. All of our sessions are conducted via secure HIPAA-compliant video — meaning you can access therapy from anywhere in Washington State using your First Choice Health in-network benefits. No office visit required.
