A Modern Approach to Remote Therapy
No need for clinic visits. Get therapy at home without sacrificing most of the benefits of in-person sessions.
Here's how it works for your patients
1. They'll connect with a Better Health team member for an initial evaluation.
2. They receive the VR Device, covered by Medicare, in the mail, just like any other medical device.
3. They will follow easy, step-by-step therapy programs for your therapy.

Our headset has structured, evidence-based programs for:
Chronic pain Anxiety and stress Cognitive or neurological conditions Functional mobility and balance Mindfulness and relaxation
All programs are clinically developed and preloaded onto your headset, ready to use.
VR CBT Therapy is designed for people who want to manage physical or emotional symptoms from home—including older adults, those recovering from surgery, or anyone struggling with pain, stress, or mobility. If you’re unsure if VR CBT Therapy is a fit, our care team can help assess your eligibility.
Once you’re approved, we ship your VR Therapy CBT device directly to your home. You’ll start with introductory VR CBT programs preloaded onto the headset—so you can get familiar with the experience and begin exploring at your own pace.
As the next step, we’ll match you with a VR Therapy coach who will personalize your care plan, unlock additional therapy content, and guide you through your treatment journey.
If you have insurance:
Medicare Part B: Often covers the full cost of treatment, and many patients have little to no out-of-pocket expense. Some may have a small copay depending on their secondary insurance.
Medicare Advantage commercial insurance (e.g., BCBS Medicare Advantage, Aetna Medicare Advantage, etc.): Coverage varies by plan, but we’re happy to verify your benefits and let you know exactly what’s covered and what your responsibility (if any) would be.
Yes. The VR CBT device is covered under Medicare Part B as Durable Medical Equipment (DME), using CMS Code E1905. Once approved, the device is shipped to your home and your device and therapy is covered by Medicare—aside from your usual deductible or copay.
We’ll help verify your coverage as part of the onboarding process.
Yes, absolutely—you can do this treatment alongside in-person care! We would need to focus on something different from what you're actively working on in-person so there is no overlap with insurance billing. This might include:
Targeting a secondary condition (e.g., balance, posture, or stress management)
Addressing pain relief or mobility in a different area
Working on mental health or mindfulness support alongside physical rehab
In most cases, you do not need a referral or prescription from your doctor to get started — especially if you're using Medicare Part B or a Medicare Advantage commercial insurance plan that allows for direct access to physical or mental health services.
However, there are a few exceptions:
Some insurance plans or states may require a referral or signed plan of care.
If you're hoping to have the VR headset covered as durable medical equipment (DME), you will need a prescription from your doctor, however our team can assist you with obtaining one.
We provide a medical-grade VR headset that’s specifically configured with our therapy software and secure platform, which allows your clinician to monitor your progress and adjust your program remotely.
Using your own headset isn’t an option because:
Our software isn’t available through public app stores.
The headset needs to meet specific technical and medical standards.
We preload and configure everything for ease of use and HIPAA-compliant care.
No. VR Therapy is designed to be done entirely from home.
