Frequently asked questions
Here are some commonly asked questions, or read all FAQs.
How much does Telehealth cost?
Telehealth by SimplePractice costs $10/month/clinician and is only available on the Professional Plan. So you’re all-in monthly cost as a solo practitioner would be $69 ($59 + $10).
How does billing for telehealth work?
When billing insurance, we recommend that you always check with the individual insurance payer to determine whether telehealth services are covered and, if they are, which codes or modifier should be used for different types of services.
It’s very important to check directly with the insurance payer because coverage for telehealth services is constantly changing.
I’m currently using a different EHR. Is it easy to switch to SimplePractice?
Yes. Our Switching Team can help you import your data from another system.
Is SimplePractice HIPAA-compliant?
Yes, we meet or exceed all the requirements of HIPAA as a business associate, including the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in which SimplePractice agrees to be responsible for keeping all client information private and to immediately report any breach of personal health information.
