Telehealth for Groups
Telehealth sessions can accommodate group sessions with up to 7 participants. Simply schedule group telehealth sessions as you would an individual session.
Billing note: How group session minutes are calculated
| Based on number of participants | Therapyzen counts meeting minutes based on the number of participants in a group session. Put simply, a minute is tracked for each participant during a meeting. Here are a couple of examples of how to estimate group meeting minutes used. The following algorithm describes the calculation:
|
| 2 Clients & 1 Clinician / 50 Minute Session | 50 Minutes X 3 Participants X $0.005 = $0.75 |
| 4 Clients & 1 Clinician / 50 Minute Session | 50 Minutes X 5 Participants X $0.005 = $1.25 |
*Group meetings will use more of your monthly minutes than standard one-on-one sessions.
Scheduling a group/couples telehealth appointment

Good to know:
- Each group member will receive telehealth meeting links in their email appointment reminders
