Intake Agent
Structures intake notes and flags missing data before a request ever enters clinical review.
The agent workforce for behavioral health
Less paperwork.
More patient care.
Authora Health automates the clinical documentation, service authorizations, and payer communication that delay care and burn out clinicians — so your team spends its time treating patients, not re-typing the same form.

The point of it all
More time in the room. Less time in the paperwork.
Every hour Authora saves on documentation is an hour back for sessions, supervision, and the people waiting for care. That’s the whole product.
- Sessions stay about the client, not the keyboard
- Clinicians leave on time with notes done
- Clients feel the difference in every visit
