For Your Practice · Compare Althais

Built for the claim,
not just the chart.

Most EMRs were built to store records. Althais was built to turn a visit into a clean, paid claim, with the note, the codes and the checks in one flow.

A traditional EMR, typically
NoteTyped, or a separate scribe add-on
CodesPicked by hand or a coding vendor
ChecksOften at the clearinghouse

The reasons

Ten reasons practices
choose Althais.

01 · One flow

Note, codes and claim
in one place.

In many EMRs the scribe, the coding and the claim scrubber are separate modules or separate vendors. In Althais a signed note becomes suggested codes and then a claim, without retyping anything.

02 · Explainable coding

Every code shows
its reasons.

Each suggested code comes with a confidence score and the words in the note that support it, so your team can defend it. Nothing is billed until a person approves it.

03 · Checked first

Problems caught
before the payer sees them.

Claims are checked against CMS NCCI bundling edits, code formats and required fields before sending. If the practice isn't set up to bill a payer yet, the claim is held with the exact reason instead of bouncing back weeks later.

04 · Althea

An assistant that
scribes the visit.

Say “scribe my visit” and Althea listens to the encounter, writes the note into the chart, gets the codes and takes your sign-off by voice. She also reads back allergies, medications and claim status on request.

And six more

Built for the work,
not around it.

01

Keep your EHR, or replace it

Add Althais on top of the EHR you already use, or run everything on the Full Suite. No rip-and-replace required.

02

Denials come back ready

The payer's reason is shown and an appeal letter is drafted from it and the note.

03

Time-based codes, exactly

Critical care thresholds, office time ranges and prolonged services are computed, not guessed.

04

Staff onboarding built in

Invitations, credentials, Althais Training and role-based access, instead of separate HR tools.

05

Live in weeks, with a pilot

Most practices are live in 30 to 60 days, starting with a provider pilot on real visits.

06

Priced by claim volume

Not a flat fee per seat. Implementation, training and support are included.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Do we have to replace our EMR?

No. Althais can sit on top of the EHR you already use and handle notes, coding and claims, or you can run the whole practice on the Full Suite.

Does Althais work with Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks or NextGen?

Althais connects to major EHRs and the clearinghouse you already use. Tell us your setup in a demo and we'll show you exactly how it fits.

Who is responsible for the codes?

Your team. Althais suggests codes with reasons; a person approves every one before it reaches a claim.

Can we try it first?

Yes. Start with a pilot on your own documentation before rolling it out.
