Using your Lyra Health benefit with our psychiatrists

Bay Area Neuropsychiatry is a Lyra Health network practice. If your employer offers Lyra as a mental health benefit, you can see our board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians for psychiatric evaluation and medication management by secure video, anywhere in California, for everything from ADHD, depression, and anxiety to conditions that need subspecialty depth.

How your Lyra Health coverage works with us

Lyra is the mental health benefit your employer provides, and it connects you to network practices like ours. For most members, visits cost the same copay or deductible you would pay at any in-network office. Lyra is how you access care, and your health plan's usual cost-sharing applies (some employer plans differ; your Lyra account shows your plan's specifics). You can reach us through the Lyra platform, or request an appointment with us directly and note that you have Lyra. Your Lyra account shows your covered care and cost details. There is no referral requirement.

If your specific plan shows us as out-of-network

If you're unsure whether your employer offers Lyra, check with HR or sign in at lyrahealth.com and search for your company. If your employer doesn't offer Lyra, we also work with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, and Cigna, and offer transparent self-pay rates. See our Network Gap Exception guide and free template letters.
