Frequently asked questions
About Sesame
Why is Sesame different?
Sesame is the first direct-to-patient care marketplace that connects patients with real, quality doctors.
Are doctors on Sesame board-certified?
Yes, all doctors on Sesame are board-certified.
Does Sesame work with insurance?
Sesame services are paid directly, separate from health insurance.
If your insurance includes a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), you can use your funds from these accounts to pay for care on Sesame. Some of these plans include a debit card you can use to pay up front, and others require you to submit your receipt after your purchase.
If your insurance includes out-of-network coverage and/or a deductible, you may be able to submit your receipt from Sesame for reimbursement. Eligibility is determined by your insurance company and will vary depending on your plan. Our team is here to help you - call us at 1 (877) 947-6411 with any questions.
Is my payment and medical information safe?
Sesame uses Stripe, the most trusted, secure third-party payment platform in the world. Stripe is used by large technology platforms like Lyft, Etsy, and Open Table.

Sesame’s systems and platforms are all HIPAA compliant.
