Pricing Details
APA members receive preferred rates. Premiums vary by state, procedure mix (ECT, ketamine), forensic work, and coverage limits. Psychiatrist premiums are generally higher than non-prescriber mental health professionals due to medication liability.
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.
