Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover RISE Sleep Clinic in my state?
RISE Sleep Clinic is available in 43 states and accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield across our service area. During your assessment, we verify your specific Blue Cross Blue Shield plan to confirm coverage in your state.
Do I need a referral for CBT-I?
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield plans do not require a referral for behavioral health services like CBT-I. However, some plans vary. We verify your specific requirements during the intake process so there are no surprises.
What's my copay with Blue Cross Blue Shield?
Copays vary by Blue Cross Blue Shield plan. Many patients pay $20-50 per session, similar to other specialist visits. Some plans have no copay for behavioral health. We verify your exact costs before treatment begins.
How many sessions does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover?
Blue Cross Blue Shield typically covers the full course of CBT-I treatment (6-10 sessions) under mental health or behavioral health benefits. We verify your specific session limits during intake.
Is virtual CBT-I as effective as in-person?
Yes, research shows virtual CBT-I delivers comparable outcomes to in-person treatment. That's why insurance providers cover telehealth sessions at the same rate as in-person visits.
What if my Blue Cross Blue Shield plan doesn't cover CBT-I?
If your specific plan doesn't cover CBT-I, we offer self-pay options. We can also provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find that 6-10 sessions provide lasting improvement worth the investment.
How long does treatment take?
CBT-I typically involves 6-10 sessions over several weeks. Most patients notice significant improvement within 2-4 weeks. The skills you learn continue working long after treatment ends.
Is CBT-I better than sleep medication?
The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. Research shows CBT-I produces longer-lasting results than medication, without side effects or dependency risks.
Do I have to use the RISE app?
The RISE app is recommended but not required. It helps track sleep patterns and provides daily guidance, but you can receive effective CBT-I treatment without it.

For the first time, I had a safe place to talk about why I wasn't sleeping and someone who could show me exactly how to fix it. By improving my sleep, positive changes in the rest of my life just started stacking up.
