How to Invite and Join as a Dependent

Overview

If it is included in your benefit plan, Modern Health allows you to invite dependents to access care. Dependents are defined based on the employer's definition. For dependents 18 or older, invitations can be sent through the app or dependents can join through self-registration. Minor dependents (under 18-years-old), have an alternate flow outlined in this article. After eligibility confirmation, dependents will receive a unique registration link and their own allotment of sessions once registered.

Note: Modern Health defines dependent eligibility based on how your employer defines “dependent.” Dependent eligibility and coverage will vary based on your employer's care plan with Modern Health. If you are unsure if you have dependent coverage or how your company defines dependents, please check with your Benefits Team or refer to your company's FAQ document.
