Pricing Details
100% free for therapists with no hidden fees. Client fee is 5% per claim (e.g., $200 session = $10 fee). Therapists can absorb the fee to offer free claim submission. 100% refund guarantee if claim cannot be successfully submitted.
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.
