At Davner, we're revolutionizing out-of-network healthcare, starting with mental health. Our AI-powered platform eliminates pricing uncertainty and simplifies the entire payment process. We provide accurate cost predictions upfront and handle insurance reimbursement behind the scenes, making therapy more financially accessible while ensuring providers receive their full fee immediately.
The traditional out-of-network payment model creates unnecessary barriers for both therapists and clients. When starting therapy, clients with out-of-network benefits don't know their true out-of-pocket costs until after treatment, leading to anxiety and delayed care. Then, clients must pay your full fee upfront—often hundreds of dollars per session—and then navigate the complex insurance reimbursement process on their own. This financial burden frequently causes clients to delay seeking care or reduce their session frequency, even when they have out-of-network benefits that could cover much of the cost.
Meanwhile, as a therapist, you face the administrative challenge of providing superbills, responding to insurance queries, and managing payment documentation. Every minute spent on paperwork is time away from what matters most: supporting your clients' mental health journey.
We make it easy for potential client to understand their out-of-pocket costs before starting therapy. Our AI receptionist provides accurate cost predictions upfront, so clients know exactly what to expect. Our website add-on allows clients to check their insurance benefits and get an accurate cost prediction directly from your website's contact page.
We've reimagined out-of-network billing to work entirely behind the scenes. After a simple one-time consent process, everything operates seamlessly within your existing workflow. There's no separate platform for clients to learn, no new payment systems to manage, and no disruption to your therapeutic relationship.
You maintain complete control over your practice, choosing which clients can benefit from this streamlined billing approach. For these clients, we handle the insurance process invisibly in the background while you continue focusing on providing care. Your other clients can maintain their current billing arrangements exactly as they are.
Our billing process is designed to be nearly invisible to both you and your clients:
You continue operating your practice exactly as you do now. The only change is that selected clients pay a lower out-of-pocket amount while you still receive your full fee immediately.
For clients you select, we process their insurance claims behind the scenes. These clients simply pay their portion of the fee, and you receive your full fee right away. The entire insurance process happens seamlessly in the background.
We manage all communication with insurance companies invisibly, freeing you from the burden of following up on claims or responding to insurance queries. This gives you more time to focus on what you do best: providing exceptional care to your clients.
By partnering with Davner, you gain several immediate benefits while maintaining complete control:

As healthcare professionals ourselves, we understand the critical importance of maintaining patient privacy and security. Our process is built from the ground up to exceed HIPAA requirements, with comprehensive security measures including:
Davner was founded by Allan Fisch and Dr. Benjamin Lee, who deeply understand the challenges of running healthcare practices, particularly in mental health. Dr. Lee previously built a successful out-of-network pediatric psychotherapy practice, where he experienced firsthand how the traditional insurance reimbursement process created barriers for both his practice and his clients. This direct experience with the complexities and frustrations of out-of-network billing in mental healthcare inspired the creation of Davner.
Allan brings not only extensive expertise in healthcare law and HIPAA compliance, but also practical experience as the co-founder of a home healthcare practice. This combination of legal expertise and hands-on practice management gives him unique insight into the challenges mental health providers face with insurance and billing systems. Together, Allan and Dr. Lee combine their healthcare practice experience with deep knowledge of healthcare regulations and reimbursement systems, all focused on solving the specific challenges of mental health practices.
Having lived through these challenges ourselves, we understand the importance of maintaining independence in private practice while expanding access to mental healthcare. That's why we've built a solution that works invisibly in the background while putting you in control.
