The company keeps costs low while putting the majority of the fee into the clinician’s pocket, ensuring clinicians are ethically and fairly compensated for their education and experience. This service is aimed at those with extended health benefits as our clinician’s credentials ensure that your therapy will be covered by most extended health benefit plans.
