About thera.news

Weekly digest of US behavioral health policy, regulation, payer changes, and clinical research. Built for clinic owners, billers, and behavioral health professionals who need to know what changed this week, what is coming next quarter, and what to ignore. Every item links to a public primary source. No engagement farming, no AI summaries pretending to be analysis.

What we cover

thera.news tracks US behavioral health policy, regulation, payer changes, and clinical research. We focus on the items that change how a practice bills, hires, and operates: parity enforcement, 988 and crisis response, Medicaid and CCBHC, telehealth, prior authorization, AI scribes, integrated care, workforce licensure, and youth mental health.

Why we started

Behavioral health professionals spend too much time sorting through press releases, social media threads, and SEO content to figure out what actually changed this week. thera.news was built to do that triage once, in one place, with every item linked to the public source it came from. We are not a newsroom chasing clicks; we are a reference desk for people running practices and making clinical decisions under shifting rules.

How the content is produced

Drafts are sometimes assisted by AI for summarization of long public documents. Every item is reviewed and edited by a human before publication, and every claim that can go out of date is tied to a citable public source. We do not publish AI-only items, invented citations, or engagement-bait summaries.

Our sourcing standards are simple: if a number, deadline, or rule is included, it must trace back to a public document, agency announcement, statute, or court filing. When we are uncertain, we say so. When we are wrong, we correct the record and note the correction.
