Do I Need This?

Not every therapist needs full payment management. Some prefer keeping finances separate from their session management tool. That's perfectly fine!

Ask yourself:

  • Do I want to track which sessions are paid/unpaid?
  • Do I want to send payment reminders to clients?
  • Do I want to accept online payments through Mindora?
  • Do I need to generate Superbills for insurance reimbursement?

If you answered yes to any of these, keep reading. Otherwise, you can skip payments entirely and use Mindora just for sessions, notes, and calendar.

Two Approaches

Mindora offers two levels of payment management for US therapists:

1

Simple Tracking

Just mark paid or unpaid

Track payment status without any integrations. Mark sessions as paid when you receive payment outside Mindora.

  • Requires no setup.
  • Works with any payment method (cash, check, Zelle, etc.).
  • Get a quick overview of who owes what.
Best for: Therapists who handle payments separately but want basic tracking

Create payment links and send them to clients via text or email. Payments are tracked automatically.

  • One-click link creation
  • Automatic payment confirmation
  • Built-in reminders
  • Bulk links for multiple sessions
Best for: Therapists who want convenient online payments
Requires: Stripe integration

What About Insurance?

Insurance Reimbursement

Generate Superbills for your clients

If your clients have out-of-network benefits, you can generate Superbills they can submit to their insurance for reimbursement.

  • Uses a professional Superbill format.
  • All required fields come pre-filled.
  • Easy to download and share.
Superbills work with any payment approach - you don't need Payment Links to use them.

Which One Should I Choose?

Here's a simple decision guide:

I just want to know who paid→Simple Tracking
I want clients to pay online easily→Payment Links
