Reading this table. A platform's rate depends on the payer contract behind it, the state, and sometimes the license level, so compare like with like. Where a platform pays a flat rate regardless of payer (Rula, SonderMind), the payer column says so. Rates marked cut record a reduction where the new dollar figure varies by contract.

Scope. This table shows what platforms and payers pay clinicians. It takes no position on what independent practices charge clients.
