Path Mental Health vs Oura

About

Path Mental Health is a San Francisco-based mental health platform that matches patients with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists who accept insurance, addressing the core access barrier in mental healthcare. Path handles the insurance verification, paperwork, and administrative overhead of connecting patients to in-network mental health providers, offering both individual therapy and medication management services. The platform targets the large population of individuals who want to use their health insurance for mental health care but struggle to find providers who are accepting new patients and take their specific insurance plan. Path works with major commercial insurers and provides access to licensed providers via telehealth and in-person sessions depending on location. Founded in 2019, Path raised over $120M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Foresite Capital. The company competes with Alma, Headway, and Grow Therapy in the therapist network and patient matching market.
