Pricing Details
Pricing based on facility size (bed count), not per-provider. Customers report 40% average census growth and 99% clean claims rate. HITRUST certified. Implementation included in enterprise contracts.
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.
