Yes! Through Alkeme, you can get credentialed and accept insurance clients anywhere you’re already licensed.
You do not need to submit claims to insurers when working with Alkeme. Our therapists get paid by entering the relevant session codes and hitting send. Alkeme takes care of invoicing your clients and collecting copays and you are paid within 2 weeks of the session.
Therapists need to be credentialed under Alkeme’s Tax ID, regardless of their current individual credential status. Once you’ve been credentialed under Alkeme's Tax ID, you can add your eligible clients to the Alkeme portal to access our rates for their sessions.
When working with Alkeme you can choose to benefit only from our listing service, or to experience the benefits of full practice management. When only utilizing our listing service, it is not a requirement that therapists take insurance. However, in order to use our full practice management we require that therapists get credentialed with at least one of our payer partners. We only compensate providers for sessions run under Alkeme’s Tax ID.
No. At this time, Alkeme is only available to clinicians who are fully licensed in the state of Illinois (including multi-state licensed therapists).
Your practice is your own, and how you run it is always up to you. Our membership structure is built around how Alkeme can serve you — not the other way around. You’ll have complete control over your practice and can decide on areas like:
- The number of clients you see each week
- Your out-of-pocket rates
- Therapy modalities
- To further our mission of simplifying access to affordable mental health care, all new members are required to join our insurance program and get credentialed with at least one of our payer partners.
Fill out the sign-up form on our website to set up a call with a member of our team. We’ll share more information about Alkeme and answer any question you may have about joining the network. There are two ways to join Alkeme: 1) As a listing-only therapist who is accessible via the directory but does not benefit from Alkeme’s scheduling, contracting, EHR, or billing services; or 2) as a full practice management therapist who utilizes Alkeme’s full scope of services.
