For clinicians
A short list of insurance panels, an EHR, a notes tool, bookkeeping, payroll, a business bank, and a directory. These are tools Mason refers. That is not a claim he uses every one of them, and it is not a claim any of them is right for your practice.
Some links on this page are referral links. If you sign up through them, Mason may receive a bonus or credit from that company. You do not pay extra because of the link. Offers change. This is not an endorsement that a tool is right for your practice.
Bonus amounts below are what Mason reported. Each one is written as Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this). That is not a guarantee. Read the company’s current terms.
Heard, Rula, Grow Therapy, and Psychology Today are manual in different ways. This page will not put a fake “click here to enroll” button on those. If you have to enter an email, an NPI, or send Mason a name, the card says so.
For the conceptual review of paneled networks — speed versus control, who bills — read Headway and companies in that category. This page is the disclosed link list, not a rewrite of that article.
These companies sit between a clinician and commercial insurance. The honest trade is usually speed (you can show as in-network faster than a solo packet) versus control (you are often on their roster, and they often bill). Ask whose NPI and tax ID go on the claim before you upload a PDF. Details live on paneled networks.
A paneled network. They help clinicians get onto commercial plans faster and usually run a lot of the claims traffic under their infrastructure.
Who it is for: clinicians who want insured volume sooner than DIY credentialing, and who can live with less ownership of the payer relationship.
The trade: speed versus control. They typically bill. You are often rendering through their contracts, not holding those contracts yourself.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $350.
How you actually sign up: use the referral link. The rest happens on Headway’s site.
Another company in the same category: insurance access packaged with some mix of credentialing, billing, and a clinician-facing front end. Not the same contract as Headway.
Who it is for: clinicians comparing a network seat to holding payer contracts directly.
The trade: faster onto plans; less of the contract is yours. They typically handle billing. Read their agreement, not a screenshot of someone else’s rate.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $500 after 60 days.
How you actually sign up: use the referral link. The rest happens on Alma’s site.
A therapist-facing insurance platform in the same breath as Headway and Alma. They sit between you and commercial payers and usually run billing.
Who it is for: clinicians who want a platform to carry part of credentialing and claims, and who will read the actual agreement before treating it as land they own.
The trade: speed versus control. Who bills, and what happens if you leave, are the questions. This page will not invent your employment classification on their paperwork.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $500.
How you actually sign up: this is Rula’s referral-program page, not an auto-apply button. You must enter your email and NPI on Rula’s page.
A provider marketplace in the insurance-access family. They credential, typically match clients, and typically bill through their side.
Who it is for: clinicians looking at another insured-volume door besides Headway, Alma, or Rula.
The trade: same speed-versus-control question. Who is the billing provider, and what travels with you if you resign.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $100 gift card.
Grow Therapy provider referrals
How you actually sign up: manual. Grow’s provider-referrals page explains their path. It does not auto-apply a bonus from this site.
An EHR is software you run the practice in. A paneled network is a middleman on the payer relationship. Do not mix those up. See SimplePractice and insurance.
An EHR and practice tool: calendar, notes, documents, invoicing, a client portal, and, if you turn it on, claims and superbills. It is not a payer. It will not credential you.
Who it is for: solo and small-group clinicians who want the chart, the calendar, and billing in one product they log into.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $200 or 3 free months.
How you actually sign up: use this primary referral link. The rest happens on SimplePractice’s site.
An AI notes tool. It helps draft clinical notes. It is a notes tool, not a therapist, and not a substitute for your judgment. You still review and sign what goes in the chart.
Who it is for: clinicians who want help getting a note started and who will still own the chart.
Mason did not report a signup bonus for Mentalyc. This page will not invent one.
How you actually sign up: use the registration link. There is no payout amount on this page because Mason did not give one.
Bookkeeping, payroll, and a business bank. None of this is the clinical hour. All of it decides whether the practice still has a clean week.
Bookkeeping aimed at therapists. The money after the session, not the clinical hour.
Who it is for: clinicians who want a bookkeeper that already speaks private-practice money.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $400.
How you actually sign up: go to Heard’s rewards page and enter your email there. This site does not enroll you. There is no auto-apply button here.
Payroll. If you have people to pay — or you are about to — that is the job.
Who it is for: practices that run payroll and do not want that living in a spreadsheet plus a hope.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $800.
How you actually sign up: use the referral link. The rest happens on Gusto’s site.
Business banking. A practice operating account, not a therapy tool.
Who it is for: clinicians opening or moving a business checking account for the practice.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): $100.
How you actually sign up: use the referral link. Chase’s current terms decide whether the bonus applies.
A listing is a door, not a personality. How a profile actually converts is a separate article: Psychology Today profiles.
A public therapist directory. People skim the photo, the first paragraph, the insurance line, and whether you write back.
Who it is for: clinicians who want inbound inquiries from people searching for a therapist, and who will answer those inquiries.
Mason’s current referral offer (the company can change this): give a friend 6 months free; Mason gets 1 month free.
How you actually sign up: manual. Send Mason the friend’s information. There is no affiliate URL on this card and no button that pretends it auto-enrolls anyone.
A referral link will not choose a stack for you. If you want someone to sit with the actual practice — insurance, systems, which of these doors even belong in the week — that is paid 1:1 help at Advantage Coaching. No patient care. No diagnosis. No clinical records. Prices are not listed here.
