Malpractice Insurance – Important to have regardless of your employer offering it!
I have purchased insurance through a few other companies that are more well known before CPH was recommended to me by a dear colleague. CPH is run by a small company and because of that, they offer personal customer service. The few times that I needed to make changes, I called them and they were able to recall my email thread with them, and get me what I needed for an office lease within a reasonable amount of time. Strong and knowledgable resource you may want to have on your side – their rates are very competitive if not better than others!
Simple Practice – a HIPAA-compliant and all-in-one Client Portal. By using the link below, you can sign up for a free trial. If you then start a paid subscription for at least 3 months, we’ll both get $200 in account credit towards a future bill.

Headway – contractor opportunity
Headway can help you get credentialed with at least 5 insurances fast The number depends on the state you are in, and if you are licensed in multiple states they can work on all of those too! They require a CAQH profile but no minimum commitment on clients. They have an EMR and video tech if you wish to use it. It is “free” because they take their cut from their negotiated rates before you even get paid. Some clients will register on this site and book directly with you, however, you must do your own marketing and have the clients register here – that will likely be the bulk of your clients! They currently offer some CEUs through Headway Academy – where they also partner with PESI and Violet for their offerings.
Having been working with Headway for over 2 years now, I now let clients know that I partner with them and they do my billing. That’s really the nature of our business relationship at this point. If you sign up with my link, we both get a little something (varies depending on current offer at the time).
Rula – contractor opportunity
Rula is another site that helps get you credentialed and require most of what Headway does. However, they require you to use their EMR and video tech. They also only support a primary state license at this time. They currently offer some CEs through Clearly Clinical.
Important note** This contractor sometimes supports employers during strikes, so if you are not into that, prepare to decline the work (they will try to convince therapists by offering small $$ incentives for strike breaking). If you sign up with my link, I will get a credit (sometimes the new provider will get one but it depends on the current offers and I won’t usually know about that).
