Is Navi really free?
Yes, 100% free! We're here to help you navigate the mental health system—no hidden costs, no catches. We make it easier for you to find care, and our partners pay us when we make a successful match.
Mental health practices join the Navi network so navigators can match callers to available clinicians. Consumers pay $0. When a match succeeds, the partner practice receives the patient. Request to join via the partner inquiry form.
Navi partners with trusted local practices and clinics so a navigator can match someone to real, vetted care — fast, affordable, and personalized.
Tell Navi about your specialties, locations, insurance you actually accept, and capacity. Navigators use that information when they match callers. They verify coverage; they do not invent network status.
A caller speaks with a navigator. If your practice is a fit and is accepting clients, Navi can make a warm handoff. Partners pay Navi when a successful match is made — that is how the consumer call stays free.
Call 888-505-NAVI (6284). Navigation is free for callers. Partner practices receive matched patients. For emergencies call 911; for a crisis call or text 988.
Navi is not a crisis service and does not provide clinical care. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
