When a child or teen is struggling with autism and ADHD or their mental health, it impacts the entire family. That’s why Meliora Health takes a family-first care approach to support your child’s—and your family’s—wellness journey.
Our innovative online platform delivers immediate support and gives your entire family access to expert-led help whenever and wherever you need it, allowing your family to move forward together.
As part of the UK’s Healios Group, we’ve helped thousands of families struggling with mental health and neurodiverse conditions, and we can help yours too.
Meliora Health is committed to making behavioral healthcare accessible for all families. We offer different payment options allowing us to accommodate your family’s needs.
If you don’t see your insurer listed, we can still help your family. Your out-of-network insurance benefit may cover services from Meliora Health. Our team can provide you with the information you need to bill your insurer directly and receive a reimbursement.
We also provide a private pay option that allows you to get the care your child needs without insurance. Meliora Health’s services are eligible for reimbursement with your flexible spending account (FSA), so you can get paid back for your out-of-pocket expenses.
