Effective Date: 12/01/2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Therapy Coverage website, platform, and related services ("Therapy Coverage," "Platform," "we," "our," or "us"). By creating an account, accessing the Platform, or using any Therapy Coverage services, you ("Clinician," "you," or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.

1. Nature of the Platform

1.1 Matching Platform Only

Therapy Coverage is a technology enabled facilitation platform designed to connect independently licensed mental health clinicians seeking temporary client coverage with clinicians who may be available to provide such coverage. Therapy Coverage does not provide clinical services, supervise care, participate in treatment, or make clinical determinations.

1.2 Not a Provider, Employer, or Agency

Therapy Coverage is not a mental health provider, clinic, group practice, managed care entity, staffing agency, employer, or joint venture partner. The Platform does not provide therapy, determine clinical appropriateness, employ clinicians, supervise clinicians, bill for clinical services, or control treatment decisions.

1.3 No Agency Relationship

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, employment, or contractor relationship between Therapy Coverage and any Clinician.

2. Independent Clinicians

2.1 Independent Professional Status

Clinicians use the Platform as independent licensed professionals. You are not an employee, agent, contractor, or representative of Therapy Coverage.

2.2 Full Responsibility for Care

Clinicians are solely responsible for all aspects of client care, including treatment decisions, documentation, informed consent, crisis management, continuity of care, legal compliance, and HIPAA compliance. Therapy Coverage has no involvement in the therapeutic relationship.

3. Licensure and Insurance Representations

3.1 License Warranty

You represent and warrant that you hold an active, unrestricted professional license in each jurisdiction in which you offer services and that you are legally authorized to provide telehealth or in person services in those jurisdictions.

You agree to immediately notify Therapy Coverage of any investigation, disciplinary action, suspension, restriction, or revocation of your license.

You represent and warrant that you maintain active professional liability insurance with coverage limits appropriate to your jurisdiction and scope of practice. You agree to maintain such coverage during any coverage engagement initiated through the Platform.

4. No Verification or Credentialing

4.1 No Credentialing

Therapy Coverage is designed as a self reported profile platform. We do not independently verify licensure status, disciplinary history, identity, malpractice coverage, background checks, or qualifications.

4.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy

We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or ongoing validity of information provided by clinicians.

All Users are solely responsible for independently verifying the qualifications and suitability of clinicians with whom they engage.

5. No Guarantee of Matches or Outcomes

Therapy Coverage does not guarantee matches, client volume, referrals, income, placement, or specific results. We do not guarantee that a connection will result in a finalized coverage agreement.

Therapy Coverage is not responsible for clinical outcomes, financial arrangements, documentation practices, or disputes between clinicians or clients.

6. Fees and Non Circumvention

6.1 Platform Fees

Therapy Coverage may charge match fees, transaction fees, or other platform fees as disclosed separately. Clinicians are responsible for all applicable taxes.

6.2 Non Circumvention

If a match or professional introduction occurs through the Platform, Clinicians agree not to circumvent Therapy Coverage to avoid applicable platform fees. Any professional relationship initiated through Therapy Coverage remains subject to applicable platform fees for the duration of that coverage engagement.

This obligation survives termination of the account.

6.3 Fee Enforcement

Therapy Coverage reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts for nonpayment, fee avoidance, or circumvention and may pursue collection of unpaid fees to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. User Conduct

Clinicians agree to provide accurate information, maintain licensure and insurance, uphold professional ethics, refrain from uploading Protected Health Information, verify eligibility of other clinicians before engaging, communicate professionally, and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

10. Disputes Between Clinicians

Therapy Coverage is not responsible for disputes between clinicians. We may, but are not obligated to, facilitate communication, suspend accounts, or intervene in our sole discretion.

11. No Professional Advice

Nothing on the Platform constitutes clinical, legal, ethical, or supervisory advice. All decisions are made independently by the Clinician.
