Pricing Details
Save 15% with annual billing. Therapist-specific bookkeeping + quarterly tax estimates. Monthly subscribers can cancel anytime; annual subscribers commit for full year.
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.
