Pricing Details
No free trial. Alma often negotiates $10-30 higher per-session reimbursement than solo credentialing. At 20 sessions/week, even a $10 rate improvement generates $800/month in additional revenue—more than covering membership. $500 referral bonus for each provider referred.
Free to join—no membership fees. Grow Therapy retains a portion of insurance reimbursements as an administrative fee. Providers do not always receive full transparency on exact insurer-to-Grow reimbursement before payout. Claims are guaranteed.
