Business/Product Breakdown

Rula Health operates a teletherapy platform that facilitates virtual mental health services, including individual therapy for ages 5 and up, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric services such as medication management. The platform allows patients to input preferences?suchlike specialty, gender, or cultural background?and matches them with in-network, licensed providers who are accepting new patients, often scheduling appointments within 48 hours. Rula supports over 120 million covered lives through partnerships with major insurance networks, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Kaiser, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. For providers, Rula offers administrative support, handling marketing, credentialing, billing, and scheduling, enabling therapists to focus on clinical care while operating as independent contractors. The company's services are available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. for therapy, and in 31 states for psychiatry as of 2024. Rula emphasizes evidence-based, outcome-driven care, using measurement-informed practices to improve clinical outcomes, and has facilitated millions of therapy hours since its inception.
