How to join at the Organizational Level to bundle up to four clinicians for one low price
1. Join at the "Organizational," rather than the "Individual," Level of membership. If you are already an Individual Member, contact Jim De Santis at JJDeSantis@aol.com to change your membership from Individual to Organizational Membership. The fee will be $125 instead of $60. With this, you can bundle a total of up to four individuals for one price.
2. Have each of your other three clinicians fill out their own individual member profile, but not pay for the membership when asked by the application. Each will then be able to have their own phone number, photo, video introduction, e-mail address, insurances accepted, specializations, etc.
3. When they have done so, you can place the three additional profiles under your Organizational Membership as a "bundle." You will be the “bundle administrator.” So, the $125 Organizational membership fee will cover up to 4 people.
Bundling can save you up to $115 over the total separate rates for four licensed mental health professionals.
