Sessions Health report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for insurance-based therapists who file many claims
Sessions Health is a browser EHR for therapists who bill insurance, with notes, a portal, scheduling and claims from 25¢ down to 19¢. Professional is $39 a month, but telehealth and AI notes are paid add-ons per practitioner, the free plan stops at 3 clients, and there's no mobile app.
Who Sessions Health is for
- Fits if you're an insurance-based therapist who files lots of claims and watches the per-claim fee
- Works for group practices with billers and admins, who cost nothing on Professional
Who Sessions Health is not for
- Tight if you're staying free: 3 active clients, one practitioner and no administrator accounts
- Pricey if you want telehealth and AI notes, at $10 and $35 a month per practitioner on top of the plan
- Skip it if you want a phone app, as it runs only in the browser
- Watch out: claims are 19¢ to 25¢ each, eligibility checks 15¢, and cards 2.9% + 30¢ through Stripe
- Watch out: text reminders sent outside the US may cost extra, and telehealth calls hold 4 people at most
Why Sessions Health gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyProfessional is $39 a month for the first practitioner and $29 for each after, right at this category's middle. Telehealth adds $10 and AI Assist $35 a month per practitioner, and claims are charged per use.
- CFree plan and trialFreemium keeps the full EHR for 3 active clients and 1 practitioner, with no admins; a fourth client moves you to Professional. There's also a 30-day trial with no card.
- BFeaturesNotes, auto-scored assessments, treatment plans, calendar sync, reminders, a portal with paperless intake and couples handling, card payments, batch claims, ERAs and eligibility checks. Telehealth and AI notes are there as add-ons.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. Forms, note templates and claims enrollment need setting up before the first claim goes out.
- CPlatforms and integrationsBrowser only, with no mobile apps listed, and Stripe is the one integration on record. Other video tools can go in a reminder as a link, which isn't an integration.

Keep Sessions Health, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Sessions Health you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 5 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software grade higher. It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Clinical notes and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Sessions Health’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
