Pricing Details
Patient-facing healthcare marketplace. NO INSURANCE ACCEPTED - cash pay only. Therapy $75-130/session. Psychiatry $100-175/session (initial up to $350). Mental Health Rx subscription $79/month for ongoing med management. Cannot prescribe controlled substances (no Adderall, benzos, opioids). Patients can submit bills to insurance for reimbursement.
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.
