Rula therapist rates
Rula (formerly Path Mental Health) pays a flat per-session rate regardless of payer: community reports put it at $90 in California and $70 in Georgia (December 2025). Referrals are steady and credentialing is fast. Rula appears in the portfolio of the Blue Venture Fund, the BCBS-affiliated venture fund. Referral flow is governed by a 'therapeutic alliance' score out of 12, where anything under 11 is treated as poor.
Reported rates: median $80, range $70–$90 (3 reports, all CPTs pooled — filter by CPT)
