Cost Share Terms and Conditions
(Copay / Coinsurance)

Last Updated: November 17, 2023

We want you to have a great experience with our products and services. To this end, we’ve provided the full Cost Share Terms and Conditions on this page. When you use our products and services, or see our providers, you are agreeing to all of the fine print. We encourage you to read the entire terms of use carefully.

  1. Medical Plan Access:
    1. In some instances, Lyra and your employer may make access to Lyra Providers available to participating employees and their dependents (collectively, “Members”) through the Medical Plan (“Plan”).  
    2. In such instances, the Member may be responsible to pay out of pocket for a share of costs (e.g., session fees) covered by the Plan (“Cost Share”). “Cost Share” generally includes any Copayment, Coinsurance, Deductible, or similar charges as described in the Plan. 
    3. Lyra’s services are not covered by Medicare, and Lyra does not accept Medicaid. If you have insurance coverage through Medicare or Medicaid, you are financially responsible for any costs that are not covered by your employer or another Medical Plan in which you are enrolled.
  2. Cost Share Charges:
    1. In the instance that you are a Member and are responsible for any Cost Share related to your Lyra sessions, Lyra will charge you these fees directly. 
    2. Amount of Cost Share: You acknowledge that you may be shown an estimated Cost Share that is generated in real time but is not a guarantee of the exact fees you will be responsible for. The exact amount of these fees is based upon the final services delivered as well as your specific Plan at the time the claim processes, including confirmation of your eligibility, whether or not any deductible applies, and status in reaching your deductible(s). If you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum for the year, Lyra will not charge you any additional Cost Share. This estimate does not take into account application of any funds in an HRA/ HSA/ FSA account or other payment mechanism that may automatically apply to the claim based on your employer’s benefits. You agree to direct any questions about the amount of Cost Share based upon your specific health plan with your health plan directly.
    3. Timing of Charges: A “Claim” is a request for payment that your Lyra provider will submit to Lyra following any session, visit, or provision of covered services. You will be charged once your session is completed, your provider submits a Claim, and that Claim is adjudicated by your Plan. In most instances, Lyra will not charge you more than 120 days after a session has occurred, and will usually charge much sooner. If you have concerns about timing, we encourage you to discuss with your provider the timing of when he/she will submit a Claim.
    4. Payment Method: When you register your Plan with Lyra, you will be asked to provide credit card information. Lyra will store this credit card on file and charge it for all Cost Shares for you and your minor dependents who are linked to your account. If at any time you wish to edit, delete, or update the credit card on file, you may do so online.
    5. Expired Payment Method or Failure to Pay: If at any point in time your credit card on file with Lyra expires and you do not update the information, or you otherwise fail to pay your required Cost Share, Lyra may refuse to cover sessions unless or until you satisfy any outstanding balance. If Lyra denies your provider’s Claim on this basis, your provider may charge you directly for any session fees incurred.
    6. Overcharges: If the amount charged to you varies from the amount you were expecting under your Plan, or you dispute that you were provided services, you have the right and responsibility to contact Lyra immediately.
  3. Authorization: Lyra will charge your Cost Share to your credit card on file, as described above. You agree to make the payment using your chosen payment method. IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS SUBJECT TO A COST SHARE, YOU AUTHORIZE LYRA TO CHARGE YOUR CHOSEN PAYMENT METHOD THE DESIGNATED COST SHARE, TYPICALLY AT THE TIME OF EACH CLAIM SUBMISSION OR ADJUDICATION BY YOUR PLAN. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR REGISTRATION AND DIRECT YOUR PROVIDER NOT TO SUBMIT CLAIMS TO LYRA IN ORDER TO AVOID OWING YOUR APPROPRIATE COST SHARE.
  4. Submitting claims to your medical plan:
    1. When you see a Lyra Provider through your Plan, Lyra may be required to submit a Claim to your Plan for reimbursement. This may occur either directly by Lyra, or by a subcontractor on Lyra’s behalf. 
    2. If Lyra submits a Claim related to your sessions, Lyra will provide all relevant information for the Claim to be processed by your Plan. This may include (but is not limited to) patient name, diagnosis, and services received. 
    3. If you do not want Lyra to submit a Claim to your Plan, you should not see Lyra Providers through your Plan.
  5. General Terms:
    1. Term and Termination: This agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Website, any Services and/or are a registered user (a “Member”).
