What to check before signing up

To make sure a service fits your needs, verify:

  1. Your exact insurance plan is accepted — “accepts insurance” can mean only certain carriers or specific employer plans.
  2. Whether text messaging is included — some services use text mainly for between-session communication.
  3. Privacy policy details — look for:
    • HIPAA coverage
    • how messages are stored
    • whether data is shared with third parties
    • how they handle metadata and analytics

If you want, I can also make a short comparison table of the top options by insurance acceptance, texting features, and privacy transparency.
