Outpatient Behavioral Health EHR for Therapy & Addiction Treatment
Trusted by behavioral health organizations nationwide:
What Challenges Do Outpatient Practices Face?
Excessive Documentation Burden
The Problem: Behavioral health clinicians spend significant time on documentation, often completing notes after hours instead of during scheduled work time. Administrative burden from charting, treatment planning, and compliance requirements is a leading contributor to clinician burnout and turnover.
Impact:
- Clinicians finishing notes outside scheduled hours
- Reduced patient capacity and longer waitlists
- High staff turnover disrupting continuity of care
- Experienced therapists leaving the field
Complex Compliance Requirements
The Problem: Behavioral health practices navigate overlapping requirements from state agencies, accreditation bodies, and payers. Missing a credential expiration, documentation deadline, or visit frequency requirement can trigger audit failures, claim recoupments, or lost contracts.
Impact:
- Staff hours spent manually tracking compliance deadlines
- Audit findings from missed documentation requirements
- Claims denied for non-credentialed providers
- Accreditation risks from inconsistent compliance
- Revenue loss from claim recoupments
Authorization & Payer Complexity
The Problem: Behavioral health practices manually track prior authorizations, session limits, and payer-specific requirements across multiple payers. Authorizations expire mid-treatment, session limits run out without warning, and each payer enforces different rules—mistakes mean denials.
Impact:
- Appointments scheduled after authorizations expire
- Sessions delivered beyond approved unit limits
- Claims denied for payer-specific documentation gaps
- Revenue lost when authorization renewals are missed
- Administrative time spent on manual authorization tracking
