Mental Health EHR, Practice Management and Billing in One Connected System
Keep the EHR you love, or use ours. Many modern mental and behavioral health EHR platforms are genuinely good products, and if yours is working there is no reason to replace it. What CareVixis adds is everything around it: billing, claims, denials, AR, eligibility, credentialing, telehealth, patient communications and reporting, run by people who are accountable for the result. If you do need an EHR or EMR, CareVixis provides one built for therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and PMHNPs, with the billing layer already connected.
Your EHR Might Not Be the Problem. The Gaps Around It Might Be.
Most practices we talk to are not running bad software. They are running good software that does not talk to anything else. The EHR is solid, the clearinghouse works, the phone system is fine, the website is up. Each piece does its job, and nobody owns what happens between them.
Where the work falls through
A claim rejects at the clearinghouse. The EHR shows it as submitted. Nobody is watching the gap between those two facts, so it sits.
Where the time goes
Eligibility in one system, authorization in another, documentation in a third. Your staff becomes the integration layer, between patients.
Where the money goes
A denial with no appeal filed. A partial payment closed out early. Aged AR nobody flagged. None of it is an EHR failure, and all of it is revenue.
What CareVixis does about it
We take the business side of the practice as one job: billing, claims, denials, AR, eligibility, credentialing, communications and reporting, with one team accountable for all of it.
That is why the question is not whether to replace your EHR. It is who is responsible for making the whole thing work together. Read how that plays out in mental health billing and revenue cycle management, in credentialing and payer enrollment, and for therapists, psychologists, psychiatric practices and PMHNPs.
Keep Your Current EHR or Upgrade to CareVixis: Either Way, We Connect
CareVixis does not force you to switch systems to work with us. If you are happy with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, TheraNest, Valant, or any other platform, we build our billing workflow around your existing system. If you want a fully integrated platform where documentation and billing communicate directly, the CareVixis mental health EHR is included in the Complete CareVixis Solution fee.
Integration with Your Existing EHR
CareVixis works inside the system your practice already uses. Our billing team takes the encounter data, session documentation and diagnosis codes from your EHR and drives the claim from there, so your staff is not re-keying anything into a second system and is not sending us separate files. Where a direct data connection to your platform is available, we will set it up at no cost to your practice. Where one is not, the work still gets done, because the accountability sits with our team rather than with your front desk.
- No system migration required
- Your team keeps familiar workflows
- CareVixis billing operates alongside your EHR
- No extra data entry for your staff
CareVixis Mental Health EHR
A fully integrated platform where clinical documentation and billing share a single data layer. Session notes pre-populate claims.

Everything talks to everything else, included in the Complete CareVixis Solution fee.
- Therapy-specific charting templates
- Direct billing integration, no re-entry
- Scheduling, portal, and communications included
- No EHR add-on charge, included in the Complete CareVixis Solution
What the CareVixis Mental Health EHR Includes
Practices use the terms mental health EHR and mental health EMR interchangeably, and so do we. Whichever you call it, every feature below is purpose built for the way behavioral health practices actually document and deliver care, not adapted from a primary care or medical specialty template.
Therapy-Specific Progress Note Templates
Pre-built note templates for individual therapy (structured for 90832, 90834, 90837), group therapy (90853), family and couples therapy (90847, 90846), psychiatric evaluations (90791, 90792), and medication management visits with psychotherapy add-on documentation. Templates include fields for time documentation, therapeutic modality, session goals, and progress toward treatment plan goals, all required elements for defensible billing documentation.
Treatment Plan Management
Build, review, and update treatment plans within the EHR. Treatment plans are linked to session documentation, making it easy to demonstrate progress toward goals when payers request clinical records for authorization or medical necessity reviews. For practices that complete treatment plans on a defined schedule, the system generates alerts when plan review dates approach.
Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management
Psychiatrists and PMHNPs have documentation needs that differ significantly from therapy-focused providers. The CareVixis EHR includes psychiatric evaluation templates (90792), medication management visit documentation, prescribing history, symptom tracking scales (PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, and others), and documentation workflows that support correct E/M level selection and psychotherapy add-on billing.
HIPAA-Compliant Scheduling and Patient Portal
Online scheduling with insurance and intake form collection built in. The patient portal allows patients to complete intake paperwork before their first appointment, view their upcoming appointments, securely message their provider, and access practice documents. All portal communication is HIPAA compliant. Reducing paper-based intake processes saves front desk time and gets better information into the chart before the first session.
E-Prescribing (Psychiatrists and PMHNPs)
Electronic prescribing integrated directly into the patient chart. Includes electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) where state regulations and DEA requirements are met. Prescription history is linked to the medication management documentation and visible across the care record. Drug interaction checking and formulary lookups are included. E-prescribing eliminates paper scripts, reduces pharmacy errors, and creates a clean audit trail.
Direct Billing Integration
When the CareVixis EHR is in use, session documentation flows directly into the billing workflow. The clinical note populates the charge with the CPT code corresponding to the documented service type and time, the ICD-10 codes from the patient's active diagnosis list, and the modifier requirements based on session delivery method (in-person or telehealth). The billing team reviews and submits. No manual charge entry. No transcription errors between clinical and billing systems.
EHR Features Configured for Every Mental Health Provider
The CareVixis EHR is not one-size-fits-all. It is configured based on your license type, your practice type, and how you deliver care.
EHR for Therapists: LCSWs, LMHCs, LPCs and LMFTs
Note templates optimized for individual, couples, family, and group therapy. Time documentation fields aligned to psychotherapy CPT code thresholds. Treatment plan structure matching payer medical necessity documentation requirements. Session rating scales and outcome measures for documentation of clinical progress.
EHR for Psychologists and Testing Practices
Psychological and neuropsychological testing documentation workflows. Testing battery tracking and report generation support. Integration of testing results into the longitudinal patient record. Documentation templates for 96130-96146 series codes with time tracking for testing and interpretation components.
Psychiatry EHR and E-Prescribing
Psychiatric evaluation templates (90791, 90792) with MSE and risk assessment components. Medication management documentation supporting E/M level selection. Psychotherapy add-on documentation for 90833 and 90838 within the same visit record. E-prescribing with EPCS and drug interaction checking.
PMHNP EHR and Practice Management
Prescribing-focused medication management documentation. Incident-to billing support documentation when applicable. NPI-specific configuration for billing under individual versus group NPI. Integration of prescribing history with ongoing clinical documentation and billing records.
EHR and Practice Management Questions
Straightforward answers about EHR options for mental health practices and how CareVixis handles technology.
Yes. CareVixis works with the EHR you already have at no additional cost. If you prefer to keep SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, TheraNest, Valant, Luminare or any other platform, we build our billing workflow around it rather than asking you to migrate. Our team is experienced in the platforms mental health practices actually use, and where a direct data connection is available we will set it up at no cost to your practice. Nothing is off the table.
Yes. The CareVixis mental health EHR includes purpose-built charting templates for individual therapy (configured for 90832, 90834, and 90837 time documentation), group therapy (90853), family and couples therapy (90847, 90846), psychiatric evaluations (90791, 90792), medication management visits with psychotherapy add-on documentation, and crisis assessments. Templates can be customized further to match your specific clinical workflow and documentation style.
Yes. E-prescribing is included for psychiatrists and PMHNPs, including electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) where state and DEA requirements are met. The prescribing module integrates with the patient chart so prescription history is linked to the clinical record. Drug interaction checking and formulary lookups are included. Practices must meet specific DEA and state requirements for EPCS separately, CareVixis guides providers through that process.
Yes. The CareVixis EHR is HIPAA compliant at every layer: data storage, transmission, patient portal communication, and internal access controls. All data is hosted in US-based data centers with encryption at rest and in transit. CareVixis maintains Business Associate Agreements with all practice partners. For mental health practices, where extra sensitivity around patient records is warranted, we apply the strictest access controls and audit logging as standard practice.
When a practice uses the CareVixis EHR, session documentation flows directly into the billing workflow. The system reads the documented service type, time, and diagnosis and pre-populates the claim with the correct CPT code and ICD-10 code for billing team review and submission. This direct integration eliminates the manual charge entry step, reduces transcription errors between clinical and billing systems, and ensures the billed service always matches what was documented, which is the foundation of defensible behavioral health billing.
No. The CareVixis mental health EHR is included in CareVixis pricing (6% to 8% based on the level of service your practice needs, plus a monthly platform fee per provider). There is no separate EHR subscription, and the platform fee is charged per provider rather than per user. The full platform: EHR, billing, credentialing, communications, marketing, and operations reporting, is covered by your chosen CareVixis pricing tier. If we do not collect, you do not pay the collections fee on it.
