Self-pay sessions, invoiced

Counseling invoicing software

Counseling invoicing software for therapists with self-pay clients. Each session is invoiced when it ends, or a month of sessions goes on one bill, and the client pays privately from a link instead of handing over a card at the end of an emotional hour.

“We run every customer conversation through Smarfle. Texts, emails and reminders are in one place, our customers love paying with Apple Pay, and when we are busy or closed the text bot answers new leads for us.”

Billing out of the room

The session ends without a payment conversation. The invoice arrives by email afterwards, and the client pays from the link when they are ready.

Payment links

A month on one bill

Put a client's sessions from the whole month on one invoice, which suits clients who prefer one charge and one statement over a weekly bill.

Invoicing

Saved card with consent

Clients who want it can save a card through a secure link. The practice then charges the session invoice from the invoice page instead of sending it out.

Payments

Sliding scale by client

Keep a sliding-scale fee as its own service, such as a reduced 53-minute session, and use it on that client's appointments so the invoice is right every week.

Questions therapists ask about session invoices

Is there invoicing software for therapists in private practice?

Yes, for self-pay clients. Sessions are invoiced and paid by card from a link.

Does it create superbills?

No. Clients who need a superbill for reimbursement get one from your EHR.

Can I bill a month of sessions together?

Yes. Choose the month's sessions for that client on one invoice.

Can I charge a saved card after each session?

Yes. With the client's card saved, charge each invoice from the invoice page.

Can I offer a sliding scale?

Yes. Create a reduced-fee service and use it for the clients who qualify.

Does it provide Good Faith Estimates?

No. Prepare them in your practice system as the rules require.

Does it store therapy notes?

No. Clinical notes belong in your EHR, not in Smarfle.

Can a parent pay for a teen's sessions?

Yes. Bill the parent as the client, with the sessions recorded under that account.
