Fee-for-service model encourages burnout

Therapist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Local leadership incredibly supportive. Colleagues are wonderfully helpful and supportive. You get to set your own schedule and determine your own hours. Dedicated billing team handles ALL the insurance stuff - you get paid even if insurance hasn't coughed it up yet.

Cons

Read the fine print on the Clinician Advance -- I thought I'd be paying it back in across 9-12 months but they took it out in 2 lump sum payments I'm still trying to recover from a year later. No PTO or holiday pay - if you don't work, you don't get paid. No base salary so you're punished for client cancellations/no-shows. Have to spend multiple hours a month on mandatory training without pay.

Management is really bad

Mental health therapist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, clients are great, office spaces are nice

Cons

Management is clueless and painful to work with. Billing is an absolute nightmare and causes clients unnecessary stress. They do shady things like start charging the client $315 out of pocket for a 53+ minute session without notifying the clinician or client ahead of time. Then they claim “it’s on the patient to know there insurance.”

Pros

The clinicians in my office treat me with respect and they are very kind.

Cons

The workload is high and the responsibilities are extensive, but the pay does not reflect the level of effort or skill the position demands. Several coworkers have either resigned or moved to other positions due to issues by management. HR doesn’t care
