About the company
Rula runs an online mental health practice that matches people across the US with licensed therapists and psychiatric clinicians who take their health insurance. Its network covers all 50 states and Washington, D.C., and treats individuals, couples, families, children and teens, with psychiatry and medication management alongside therapy. Patients search by need, specialty and insurance plan, book a clinician, and meet by video or, in some areas, in person. Rula is in network with many national and regional health plans, so patients pay their usual copay while Rula bills the insurer for each visit. Rula was founded in 2019 and is based in Los Angeles.
