The listserv requires a yearly fee of $50 to participate for continuous management and upkeep. This is an automated annual fee, and you will be notified of the annual renewal 3 days prior for your review and decision to continue. This fee is subject to change as needed to maintain the operation of this listserv.

By using this listserv, members agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the listserv, its owner and affiliates, from and against all losses, claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs arising from any claims arising out of or resulting from any breach of these guidelines by the user or any omission or act taken by the user.

Per existing anti-trust laws, you cannot:

  • Discuss fees/rates with other providers.
  • Discuss rates negotiated with insurance panels with other providers.
  • Compare rates or percentages changed from insurance panels.
  • Group together or collude to leave panels based on rates.
  • Conspire to fix prices.
  • Boycott insurance companies collectively.

We cannot be viewed as collectively conspiring to fix rates.

When sharing information on the listserv, please keep the following in mind:

  • All communication should use professional language. Any communication using inappropriate language or swearing will be flagged by the administrators.
  • You may ask for recommendations for attorneys, physicians, billing specialists, software from other practitioners – All answers to these questions should be back-channel to that individual, meaning direct and not to the group.
  • If you would like to follow a particular conversation – Please email the person directly who originally asked and communicate that you would like that information.
  • Please be mindful of how you reply and do not reply all.
Client referrals are frequently shared on the listserv. It is our responsibility to keep the information to a minimum to protect clients. Referrals should be treated in the following manor:
  • For referral requests
    • Referrals should be limited to minimum details about the need and should never include any protected health information.
    • Do not copy and paste what a client states, or forward their email to the listserv, even with client permission.
    • Keep the subject line succinct so other members can decide quickly if they are a potential fit. For example: ISO Male Therapist for Teen, West Side, BCBS
  • For referral responses
    • Reply only to the person sending the referral
    • Responses to referrals must occur only when you match all requested criteria.
    • Do not assume there are out of network or sliding fee scale options when insurance is requested.
    • Referrals are for licensed clinicians only.
    • Referrals are for typically for members. Sharing non member clinicians may impact equal opportunity for members. It’s best to share non member clinicians when there may not be enough referrals for a request, or a specialization is needed.

We have a NO ADVERTISING policy except for the following:

  • New members introducing themselves and their practice
  • Office rentals or sublets
  • Therapeutic groups geared toward clients
  • Legislation pertaining to stakeholders in the field
  • Training opportunities for clinicians who have approved continuing education status
  • Peer led groups for consultation, supervision or support (this could be continuing
    education, process for your personal growth as a therapist, supervisor consultation
    group, etc)
  • Job openings for clinicians

Advertising is NOT allowed for any other reasons, including the following:

  • Marketing, business building, or monetizing of any kind
  • Any type of business unrelated to mental health, including coaching
  • Books, book signings, website or logo design and creation
  • Blogs, vlogs, podcasts, social media
  • Sales and solicitation of any kind.
  • Courses, seminars or retreats that do not qualify for clinician continuing education
  • Posts about client openings in your practice

The advertising policy is meant to keep posts within the scope of psychotherapy, and to prevent excess email. All members have the ability to introduce themselves and their practice.  Advertising client openings beyond your introduction is not allowed, thank you.

Note that advertising guidelines may change over time provided not all forms can be captured here.
