RedBox Rx Launches Online Talk Therapy Services to Increase Access to Mental Health Care

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.
