Do I need an existing prescription to join Cerebral?

No, you don’t need an existing prescription to join Cerebral.

Our licensed prescribers will meet with you to give you a professional evaluation to determine a diagnosis (if any) and if medication is clinically appropriate for you.

Does Cerebral offer support for veterans and active military personnel?

Yes. Our Cerebral Heroes program offers veterans, active military personnel, and their families 15% off our subscription costs.

Clients who have TRICARE, CHAMPUS, and CHAMPA insurance do not need a referral to pay for our services out of pocket. Cerebral is not in-network and does not participate with those plans or any government payer plans (See terms).

Is Cerebral available in my state?

We have therapists and medication prescribers licensed in every U.S. state, including Washington D.C.

Therapists and prescribers can only provide care to clients who are residents of states where they are licensed. Scheduling capacity and availability for individual therapists and medication prescribers may vary depending on location.
