New research adds to the body of evidence that employees value mental health services covered by their employer-sponsored health benefit plan, and that they appreciate accessing psychotherapy through telehealth.

Research from AHIP’s Coverage@Work campaign shows that nearly 1 in 4 Americans – 41 million people – received mental health support in 2020 though their employer coverage. During that year, almost 40 percent of psychotherapy visits were conducted via telehealth.¹

Employer-sponsored, self-funded health benefit plans administered by Star Marketing and Administration, Inc. offer telehealth for general medical and mental health services through Teledoc^®.
