Discover the potential of accepting insurance with Ethera’s program tailored to therapists at every stage of their private practice journey. Ethera has simplified the insurance process and we empower you to focus on what matters most – your clients.
(Ethera is currently only servicing providers in California)
*To participate in our insurance program, you must be a member of Ethera.
If your primary focus is solely on our insurance program, Ethera may not be the right fit. Our program is designed for providers who want to be part of a collaborative community that values professional growth and support.
At Ethera, we don’t just handle insurance claims for you—we empower you to understand the process. Our mission is to create a transparent, supportive environment for therapists, helping you become more self-sufficient while maximizing the benefits of insurance.
When you credential with Ethera, you receive the same benefits of being directly paneled, transparent communication, and the support of a dedicated billing and consulting partner.
Gain visibility and connect with clients in need of your services. Expand your reach effortlessly.
We believe transparency is essential. Unlike tech companies that manage your copays and billing behind the scenes without disclosing their rates and fees, we ensure you’re informed every step of the way. With Ethera, you’ll always have full visibility into our process.
We do things differently—our goal is to educate and empower you. By guiding you through the credentialing, billing, and claim submission process, we ensure you’re always informed and equipped to manage your practice with confidence.
Curious about the differences between Ethera, smaller group practices,
and insurance tech giants like Alma and Headway?
See how Ethera stands out:
Unlike traditional group practices, you maintain control of your clients. You decide who to see, how many clients to take on.
Our straightforward application makes it easy to get started.
We provide clear details on your payouts and fees. So you know exactly how much you’re getting and how much you’re paying for services.
We streamline benefits verification, claim submissions, and payment collection.
Focus on what you do best—therapy. We simplify the insurance process, so you can grow your practice without the hassle:
Say goodbye to the maze of insurance navigation. We’ll make it super simple to get credentialed with Ethera.
Access higher payout rates. Our Cigna Evernorth rates are significantly higher than Alma and Headway.
Verify benefits, submit claims, and collect payments with ease.
Accepting insurance opens doors to more clients.
Submit claims in seconds.
No binding contracts or commitments.
We work to secure higher rates from insurance companies.
If you supervise Associates, Ethera makes it easy to bill for their services. Our platform supports supervisory billing and allows you to grow your practice.
If you don’t find the answer to your question below, please feel free to contact us at hello@myethera.com.
This depends on the CPT code and insurance company. We have a great contract with Cigna Evernorth and our rates are significantly higher than Alma and Headway. We also negotiate rates every year and pass the increases to our Insurance Program members.
Credentialing typically takes around 12 weeks. You’re welcome to maintain your own credentialing—whether individually or through a group practice with your own tax ID—before or after joining Ethera. This won’t interfere with being credentialed under Ethera’s Tax ID. When you apply to our Insurance Program, you’ll be credentialed under Ethera’s existing contracts with Cigna and Aetna, which are tied to our Tax ID. If you’re already credentialed under a different Tax ID, joining our program won’t impact your existing contracts.
We’ve created a super simple claim form that is super quick to submit.
Associates must be members of Ethera. Supervisors submit claims just as they would for themselves. There’s no additional steps or paperwork. Cigna Evernorth and Aetna allows supervisory billing.
There is no cost to join for Ethera Members!
To participate in our insurance program, you must be a member of Ethera. Any associates you plan on billing for must also become a member. (Click here to learn more about our membership application process.)
If your primary focus is solely on our insurance program, Ethera may not be the right fit. Our program was designed for providers who want to be part of a collaborative community that values professional growth and support.
There is no commitment required for our Insurance Program—you can start or leave at any time. As long as you remain a member, we will process your claims under Ethera’s contract and rates.
You will get paid within 30 business days after you submit your claim.
Ethera simplifies the journey and makes credentialing and billing efficient so that you can maximize your reach.
While others hide the process, leaving you reliant on their platform, we believe in empowering providers to stand on their own. This makes a world of difference in how you control your practice and navigate insurance.
