ProblemOutpatient mental health clinics lose 15-20 hours per week per intake coordinator manually verifying insurance, chasing prior auth, and reconstructing paperwork across payer portals and spreadsheets. Mental health claims face 85% higher denial rates than medical/surgical (EasyPA 2025), and 42% of providers cite PA as a high burnout contributor (PMC 2023).
SolutionA read-only morning clearance board that ingests the clinic schedule and flags which patients are truly intake-ready and which are blocked by missing insurance verification, expired prior auth, incomplete paperwork, or benefit gaps. No EHR replacement — sits on top of SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or Valant.
Market opportunity12,142+ mental health clinics (IBISWorld 2026) plus 200,000+ solo/group therapy practices in the US. Behavioral health EHR market at $4.09B (2025) growing at 14.85% CAGR. At $200-500/clinic/month, a focused intake-clearance wedge addresses a $30-60M TAM in year one, expanding to $150M+ as group practices adopt.
