Submitting a help request from the Help Center

While you can submit a help request using the ? icon when signed into your SimplePractice account, you can also submit them directly through the Help Center. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click Get more help at the bottom of your page

• From the Submit a request page, select the topic of your question

• Then, you'll be given a list of resources that may help answer your question

• If these resources don't answer your question, continue entering the description, client URL if applicable, and any other information you'd like to include, and click Submit

• To respond to your specialist or add more information, select the request, and enter a response in the Add to conversation box

Note: When submitting a help request, make sure to include the secure URLs for any client(s) or claim(s) in question. This can significantly decrease the amount of time it takes for us to be able to dig into your question. To learn more about secure client URLs, please see this guide: How to include a secure client URL with your help request.

Can I submit PHI in my help request?

Yes, you have the choice to safely and securely submit PHI to our team if needed. To do so, you will have to select the Submit PHI with my request question topic at the top of the form.

• This is the view from your SimplePractice account

• This is the view from the Help Center

• Only include PHI in the Securely submit PHI here box below the description

Note: Because most email correspondence is not HIPAA-compliant, you will only be interacting with our team through your secure Help Center portal for requests that involve PHI.  This is to ensure the security of your and your clients’ data.

Marking your request solved

Once you hear back from one of our Customer Success representatives, we want you to have the power to determine if the help request you made was solved. If your request has been answered appropriately, you'll want to follow these steps to mark the request Solved:

• Log into the Help Center and select My Activities

• Select the request you'd like to mark solved
• Click the Mark as solved button

If you still need help, do not click the Mark as solved button. Instead, send a follow up message to our Customer Success team asking for more clarification or providing additional information so that they can continue working with you.

Sending in requests as a future or potential SimplePractice customer

For future or potential SimplePractice customers, you can select the Not a Customer? Ask us a question option from the sign in page.

• You'll be directed to enter your information and your question on a form tailored specifically for you
