    Do not use Simple Practice as your biller, it is a headache.

    Your videos have helped me so much! Im a seasoned clinician with 10 years experience but have never had to do my own credentialling or billing. Question that might be stupid but hey, gotta ask: if I were to use Alma to get credentialled then terminated their services, would I stay credentialled if I switched to another platform, or would I have to start from scratch?

      Amazing. I am so glad you have found the videos helpful. You are correct. If you leave ALMA or Headway you will no longer be credentialed.

    Hello if I have a small contracting company with a few independent contractors/practitioners, which platform would you recommend for filing claims or billing? Thanks.

    • @matthewryanLCSW
      @matthewryanLCSW  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, ALMA has started to say that they don't work with group practices, which only leaves Headway. This is if you are also looking to be credentialed. If just for billing, it may make more sense to just use your EHR like SimplePractice.

    Hi Matt, thanks for the video. I’m interested in your experience with payout time frame for Alma vs Headway? I known Headway has a two week payout period but I heard that Alma has quicker payouts. What’s your experience been?

    • @matthewryanLCSW
      @matthewryanLCSW  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, Headway pays out biweekly while ALMA pays out weekly. Both are consistent in that cadence

      Alma has some good features but there are some very poor features as well. Alma charges you per month, it is not robust enough to be considered a stand alone EHR, referrals are very erratic, and if clients do not pay their invoices with in 60 days Alma deducts that from your estimated pay out. The forums for therapists are very helpful. I've not gotten any referrals from Headway but it's a lot more stable. Neither platform have ROI's in them

      @matthewryanLCSW I'm very excited about it. I recently passed the LCSW exam, so I'm in the research phase. What Headway has to offer gives me great relief.

    The group im with is using headway; however, I like the simplicity of simple practice. The EHR intake forms are amazing and assigning homework through the platform . Can I use Simple Practice for the EHR and Headway for the billing?

    With Alma, since they credential me, would I be able to see clients in person from my area or just ones they send my way? I haven’t started a private practice yet but trying to learn everything I can! Thank you in advance 🫶🏻

      You can see anyone you want through ALMA. It's just a billing tool
