What happens after you exhaust your 8 free sessions?

Through Lyra's Health Plan Integration (HPI) feature, you have access to continued care and medication management with Lyra after exhausting your 8 free sessions. Employees and eligible dependents who are enrolled in NU's Blue Shield health plan may continue their care with their Lyra therapist as an in-network provider, but the co-pay will be determined based on the medical plan that you're enrolled in.
