I'm planning on starting a virtual support group and will be billing insurance for this. Three questions:

1) Does SimplePractice's Telehealth Platform support a group of 10 participants from different locations?  I don't see how it does, but I thought I'd ask. 

2) I will be billing insurance for this - so how will I indicate it will be a telehealth session if I'm not using the SP telehealth platform for this? 

3) What else do I need to know about adding notes regarding this issue?

  All great questions.

  I have been wondering if SP telehealth can accommodate group therapy, too. (last year, I tried on Doxy and it was terrible, and I don't want to pay Zoom so that I can run a group that goes longer than 45 minutes.

  I too would like to know the answers to the above questions and also how do I set up telehealth group wherein more than one client at a time can be seen/log in?

  Hi everyone, you can share the link with multiple people manually, either through secure messaging, or outside of SimplePractice. Create overlapping appointments with each individual client you'd like to include in the session, but only make one of the appointments a Telehealth appointment. Click on the Telehealth appointment > Share Link > Copy Link and send it to the other participants. If all participants are set up correctly, you should be able to hold a group Telehealth call. Feel free to include this guide on getting ready for a Telehealth appointment to your clients: https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003183011-Telehealth-FAQs-for-clients ! Since you've created overlapping appointments for each client, you'll be able to bill and write notes for each of them separately. We're currently working on a feature that would better facilitate group sessions, but for the time being, many clinicians are using this alternative workflow!
