Medicaid-first online therapy that works with your insurance

Lavni therapist

Medicaid-first online therapy that works with your insurance

Find a licensed therapist who understands you, takes your Medicaid plan, and is easy to reach by video or phone. You can also use Lavni with Medicare and major commercial plans.

If you rely on Medicaid, Medicare, or an insurance plan like Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, or Cigna, it should not take weeks of phone calls to get help. Lavni helps you find a therapist who is in-network, accepting new clients, and a good fit for what you are going through.

Right now, we support clients in North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia through online care, and we are adding new states over time.

You do not have to figure this out on your own

A woman is very happy to have found a therapist who accepts her insurance.

Maybe you have already tried calling numbers on the back of your insurance card. One office never calls back, another is not taking new Medicaid clients, and a third puts you on a waitlist with no clear date. By the time you hang up, it is tempting to give up and just push through on your own.

Lavni was built for people in that spot. Our platform is designed around Medicaid first, while still welcoming Medicare and commercial insurance. We help you understand your benefits, match with licensed clinicians who accept your plan, and book sessions that actually fit your life.

So far, more than 2,000 people with Medicaid have used Lavni to connect with 185+ licensed clinicians and complete thousands of therapy sessions. You can learn more about why we built Lavni on our About page.

Who Lavni is for

Lavni focuses on people who want real therapy, paid for by real insurance, without the maze of phone calls and dead ends.

People on Medicaid

If you have Medicaid and are tired of being told "we are not taking new patients," Lavni is for you. We work with therapists who are enrolled with Medicaid plans in your state and understand how to bill them correctly.

People on Medicare or commercial insurance

You can also use Lavni if you have Medicare or a commercial plan like Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, or Cigna. We help you check your benefits so you know what your costs will be before you commit.

Therapists who want an easier way to work with insurance

If you are a therapist, Lavni combines practice management, AI-supported documentation, and automated insurance billing so you can spend more time with clients and less time on paperwork.

Where we are today

Lavni currently serves clients in:

  • • North Carolina
  • • Georgia
  • • Virginia

Most visits happen online by secure video, so as long as you are physically in one of these states and your therapist is licensed there, you can meet from home, your car on a break, or another private space. As we grow into new states, this list will expand.

Our Insurance Partners

We partner with Medicaid, Medicare, and leading commercial insurers so you can use the benefits you already have to pay for therapy. Many Lavni clients with Medicaid pay between $0 and $3 per session, depending on their plan. Commercial plans and Medicare also often cover a large share of the cost.

Here are some of the plans our clinicians work with:

Why people choose Lavni

Medicaid-first, not Medicaid-last

Most platforms treat Medicaid as an afterthought. Lavni was designed with Medicaid at the center, while still working smoothly with Medicare and major commercial plans. We help you avoid surprise bills and confusing denials.
