“As private practitioners, our clinical work alone is full-time. Add in the unnecessarily difficult insurance billing system and we run the risk of working way over full-time. TheraThink provides an affordable and incredibly easy solution. My daily insurance billing time now is less than five minutes for a full day of appointments. My cost is a percentage of what is insurance-approved and it’s my favorite bill to pay each month! Denny and his team are responsive, incredibly easy to work with, and know their stuff. I cannot capture in words the value to me of TheraThink. Thank you. You free me to focus on the work I love!”
