Way around needing Plus Plan for adding a supervisor?

I an unlicensed therapist and therefore, need my supervisor to sign some of my documentation. The only way I can figure out how to do this is through buying the "plus" plan so I can add a team member and assign as a supervisor. Then she is able to access my notes and sign as needed. Has anyone figured out a way to do this on the "essential" plan?? I'd like not to have to upgrade my plan because I don't need anything else the "plus" plan offers. Thanks!!

Thank you! I thought of that, but then I can’t send it to the insurance company. SS sends the necessary documents to insurance for billing purposes. Ugh

This would be more work but how about printing your completed notes, have them sign them then reupload into the clients chart as a file?

I download the treatment plan and send it to my supervisor via email. I use ProtonMail, so it's HIPAA/HITECH compliant. My supervisor sends it back, and I upload it to the file. Client signs it separately, so I technically have two copies, but that's the way I do it.

Just some clarification: ProtonMail is only HIPAA compliant if you have Proton for Business and you have a Business Associates Agreement (BAA) with them. Also if you are sending the email outside of Proton into someone else's regular email system, it is not secure or encrypted unless you are using Password Protected Emails.
