Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 2 of the 12 other therapy and clinic software we grade
Sessions Health is a browser-based EHR for therapists and mental health group practices that bill insurance. It covers notes and assessments, scheduling with calendar sync, a client portal with paperless intake, card payments, and electronic claims with ERAs. Telehealth and AI note-writing are optional add-ons priced per practitioner.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Sessions Health, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Forms, note templates and claims enrollment need setting up before the first claim goes out.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Professional 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Freemium 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. |
| Features | B | Notes, 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. Forms, note templates and claims enrollment need setting up before the first claim goes out. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Browser 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Sessions Health is for

- Works for group practices with billers and admins, who cost nothing on Professional
Who it is not for

- Pricey if you want telehealth and AI notes, at $10 and $35 a month per practitioner on top of the plan

- Watch out: claims are 19¢ to 25¢ each, eligibility checks 15¢, and cards 2.9% + 30¢ through Stripe

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
