Today, national telehealth and online pharmacy provider RedBox
Rx announced the launch of online talk therapy services to its
platform. This service offering helps expand access to mental
health care treatment across the country.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one
in five U.S. adults are currently living with a mental health
condition. A 2022 report from Mental Health America states that
more than 27 million U.S. adults with a mental illness do not
receive treatment.
“Access to mental health care is crucial now more than ever,”
said Marshall Sanders, president of RedBox Rx. “At RedBox Rx, we
are focused on making mental health care therapy and treatments
more accessible and affordable for individuals nationwide. By
removing barriers to mental health care, we hope to help more
people get the treatment and support they need.”
RedBox Rx services are available to adults 18 years and older.
Individuals seeking online talk therapy services must complete a
short online assessment on mental health needs, location and
preferences. From there, the RedBox Rx team will match the
individual with a licensed therapist and schedule a live video
therapy session within 24 business hours. After the initial
appointment, the individual can schedule follow-up appointments
with their therapist as needed. Therapy sessions are available
daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CST and are eligible in 30 states.
RedBox Rx provides transparent, upfront pricing using a
pay-as-you-go pricing model. RedBox Rx also accepts FSA (Flexible
Savings Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) cards for online
therapy, and most HSA/FSA providers recognize these services as
eligible expenses.
Individuals seeking treatment can see a licensed RedBox Rx
therapist for the following conditions:
- Anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive
disorder and panic attacks
- Mood disorders: major depression, seasonal affective disorder
and bipolar disorder
- Substance use disorder: alcohol use, opioid use, other
substance use and compulsive behaviors
- Eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia and binge eating
- Trauma disorders: post-traumatic stress disorder, situational
trauma and grief/loss
- Other: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger
management, sleep disorders, stress management, conflict management
and more
In addition to online talk therapy, RedBox Rx can refer
individuals to one of the team’s licensed mental health medical
providers who can prescribe treatment for conditions like adult
ADHD, anxiety, depression and performance anxiety. Any prescribed
treatments will be discreetly shipped to the individual’s home.
Established in 2021, RedBox Rx makes it easy for patients to
access treatment from wherever they are. RedBox Rx is a low-cost
provider that offers nearly 30 treatments in a variety of areas,
including mental health, men’s health, women’s health, hair and
skin, primary care and more.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in a crisis, call
911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 988 anytime
24/7.
