Here's my experience thus far, since I'm crazy and like to track things:

Teladoc is $65/session, $25 for no shows within their policy guidelines; BRIEF LIST OF CONS: limited referrals, lots of no shows, poor communication from the company, inability to stop no show patients from continuing to schedule; CURRENT STATUS: currently working with as they pay the best and I have established 18 clients there who I meet with weekly, biweekly, and monthly

BetterHelp is $30-$70 for every 5 hours from 5-45/hr per week, each session is a max of 45 minutes paid, 15 minutes paid for no shows within their policy guidelines, pay for indirect hours (messaging); BRIEF LIST OF CONS: pay, inability to remove clients from caseload; continuing to use for now and letting the clients terminate as needed, down to 20 clients on caseload; pay estimates based on real weeks I completed:
08 sessions 1 no shows paid 234.99 (about $29/session)
09 sessions 6 no shows paid 281.27
14 sessions 6 no shows paid 553.59
14 sessions 3 no shows paid 434.60
14 sessions 2 no shows paid 458.66
20 sessions 1 no shows paid 711.93
21 sessions 4 no shows paid 722.79
30 sessions 0 no shows paid 1200.19
30 sessions 0 no shows paid 1359.64 (about $40/session)

Calmerry is $40/week/client booked and $25/week/client messaged; BRIEF LIST OF CONS: bad platform, lots of outages, they suggested I meet with clients on Zoom or another platform when their own wasn't working consistently, poor communication from company; CURRENT STATUS: I no longer work with them, they wouldn't even take my resignation, they tried to argue with me over transitioning my clients to another therapist and in the end I transitioned my 2 clients to termination since they didn't want to continue with another therapist

Sondermind is basically $62/session with other types of sessions listed in their protocols at different rates, unknown no show policy; BRIEF LIST OF CONS: no con review yet; CURRENT STATUS: just starting with them

I've been with Sondermind 3 months, my wife 2 years. Pros- tons of referrals, rate excellent for Maryland, you are paid every 2 weeks by notes completed no waits for insurance to pay; EHR, scheduling easy, problems do seem to get resolved; Cons- very automated and therefore can be glitchy- refresh is your friend!; billing can take weeks to resolve things; they will let you take contract insurance clients before they put your name in ​the contract - you still get paid, but clients will get confusing insurance statements until resolved; 98% of new referrals are junk, just casual browsers - but I get over 40 a week, so I've been able to easily add 2-3 folks a week if I need to. My wife jumped from 12 appointments a week part time to over 30 in 6 weeks.

Overall- I'm little concerned about the billing slowness and overreliance on automation, but if those turn out to be minor issues than Sondermind will be pure gold in amount of referrals and way they pay. I'm also with Headway. They pay more- but almost zero referrals. And they are even worse with slow billing response. My wife has had few issues, which is promising!

PP will always pay better, but then you've got to deal with drumming up clients, marketing and overhead..sometimes these apps make a little more sense, even though they pay much less.

You will make more money per client elsewhere but all of you need to factor in availability of health insurance for those who be employer sponsored healthcare. That’s worth a mortgage payment vs. making more cash and getting crap insurance for 1300/month

I used to contract with Path, now Rula, and transitioned to HEADWAY full-time! Headway pays a licensed therapist in Virginia between $89 and $126 for a 60-minute (53+ minutes) session and is much more user friendly than Path/Rula! I've been with Headway for 3 years now and going strong! I LOVE HEADWAY! The $89 rate is not the norm and is for patients utilizing United Healthcare as their insurance provider, which only consists of a couple patients (roughy 3 out of 35) on my caseload. The compensation rates for a 60-minute (53+ minutes) session for the remaining insurance companies Headway provides credentialing for in Virginia are as follows: $121.74, $120.55, $120.55, $120.55, $126.00, $120.00, and $125.80. HEADWAY is the best platform I've worked with (out of the 3 I've tried). They all have their growing pains it seems, but HEADWAY beats the rest to date, hands down!

You also get paid your cash pay rates for no shows/late cancellations through Headway, which you set yourself up to $200/hour. Yes, you can see cash pay patients through Headway as well.

Sondermind paying 97 an intake, 90 per session, regardless of insurance. It's easy to get 120-135,000 a year or more, and still take 2 weeks off or more for vacation and be flexible.

Sondermind varies state to state- those are Maryland rates
