Growing Your Private Practice

Multi-state credentialing made easy

Alma and the ability to accept in-network insurance benefits has grown my practice exponentially. I was initially credentialed on May 1st 2022, and around the middle of that month, I had a full caseload. It was all through the fact that I could accept multistate in-network coverage.

Getting credentialed with insurance is one of the most effective methods to grow your private practice. By accepting insurance, you open your practice up to a larger, more diverse group of clients who may otherwise not be able to afford therapy. In fact, around 90% of clients come to Alma specifically searching for in-network care.

Alma knows the importance of insurance credentialing for therapists looking to expand their private practice. We also recognize that many providers deal with various points of frustration when it comes to credentialing that make the process tedious, time-consuming, and just frustrating overall. Alma addresses these issues by:

  • Offering a quick, streamlined credentialing process that’s less than 45 days (3x faster than individual applications)
  • Handling all complicated paperwork from eligibility checks to claims submissions
  • Guaranteeing payment within two weeks of each appointment — for consistent, reliable income
  • Providing enhanced reimbursement rates

Providers licensed in multiple states can look forward to an easier credentialing process in every state where they’re licensed and broad exposure within Alma’s directory that’ll advertise their practices to clients across their licensed areas.

I am licensed in New York and Texas and Alma really helped me build my caseload to the max. I’m not taking any new clients anymore in New York. And when I moved to Texas in 2020, I had zero clients and was really struggling to get clients. Now I’m at the point where I’m not taking any new referrals.
