Most clients cannot afford cash sessions and need to access therapy using their insurance.
Associates cannot normally accept insurance payments from their clients. However, we have multiple insurances which you can bill for through our contracts.
-
SimplePractice EHR practice fee.
You get access to our group EHR and insurance contracts through the most popular private practice EHR.
-
Billing service fees.
We contract with a billing service for a special rate of just 6% of the billed encounter fee.
For example, for a $150 cash payment, there would be a $9 billing fee for claim processing and payment collection. If the client pays via credit card, there may be a 3% fee charged by merchant banking to process those.
