Thrizer is meant to alleviate the financial burden of out-of-network therapy and make the complex world of insurance super simple. Therapists find that letting clients know that they have partnered with Thrizer can help convince clients to begin or stay in therapy.

Explaining Thrizer on your website

Feel free to customize this verbiage for the Fees & Insurance or FAQ section of your website to help clients understand how Thrizer can help them save upfront on your sessions!

For those who are fully private-pay

I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be. ‍

For those who are in-network with some insurances

I currently accept these insurances: [Insurances]. For all other insurances, you may have out-of-network benefits, which means that insurance will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost.

To existing clients

Hi there,

I found a new resource that I think will be very helpful for you to pay for and save money on our sessions. It is called Thrizer, a service that handles the out-of-network process automatically for you (no more superbills!). They allow you to only pay a copay for my sessions after you meet your deductible. This means you don’t have to pay my full rate upfront, submit a superbill, and wait for the reimbursements.

We will first check to confirm you have out-of-network benefits. If so, I will use Thrizer so that you are only charged your copay for sessions post-deductible.

How it works:

1. I will email you a link to create your Thrizer account
   ‍
2. Add your insurance information and a payment method to set up your account
   ‍
3. Review your out-of-network benefits and estimated co-insurance to clarify any questions you have
   ‍
4. I will charge you via Thrizer for our appointments

Here is a resource to help with your setup process.

Please note: They charge a 5% fee (of my rate) if you would like to just pay a copay; you will pay that fee at the time of our session along with your copay. If you are okay paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursement, you have the option to choose that route instead for just a 1% fee. That fee gets deducted from the reimbursement that comes to your bank account. If you are still working towards a deductible, you do not pay any fees.

If this service looks helpful to you, I will use Thrizer to charge you for our sessions moving forward. I hope that this switch will help make our sessions more affordable upfront. Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

[YOUR NAME]
