Pricing & Onboarding
Strategies to price a family support program and steps to onboard the family.
Overview
Pricing
Virtual Care pricing should be on a subscription basis with a recurring fee for on-going access to support resources, educational materials and content. Choose to offer a tiered pricing approach for specialized support groups or individual family counseling Telehealth appointments. In general, family support programs are not reimbursable by insurance so creating a pricing plan should keep that in mind. Programs generally range between $200-$1000 per month per family. Consider capping the number of individuals in a family with access to the program.
Onboarding
Onboarding a family into the program can involve the following steps to ensure families understand the value of family support,
the options that you are offering, and have a process to be added to the portal and get comfortable with the technology.
