FAQs
What is the payment process when working with Pineapple Support?
Pineapple Support utilizes a co-pay system for payments. Prior to each session, the client will pay the therapist the agreed-upon amount. This amount will be specified in your initial communication from Pineapple Support. At the end of each month, you will submit an invoice to Pineapple Support for the remaining balance. Invoices will be paid within 30 days.
How will a client be referred to me?
Clients are matched with therapists based on location and areas of concern. You will receive an email containing the client’s details, at which point you will reach out directly to schedule the first session.
Please remember, clients must always be referred to by their allocated code (including in invoices) to maintain privacy and security.
What is the maximum number of sessions granted per client?
After the initial assessment, the therapist will allocate either 8, 12, or 16 sessions based on the client’s needs. The maximum number of sessions we can guarantee is 16.
What information do I need to release to Pineapple Support?
Pineapple Support does not require access to patient records. When you are connected with a client, we will provide access to a secure portal where you can record the dates of attended sessions or missed appointments. This is the only information we need related to the client’s treatment.
If a client has been unreachable for more than 30 days, please contact Pineapple Support, and we will reach out to the client directly. If you have concerns about the client’s well-being in a crisis, you are legally required to contact emergency services.
