PMHScribe generates a complete, insurer-ready prior authorization letter from your session transcript. Clinical rationale, medication trial history, and supporting studies built in seconds. Your patient’s trauma history and substance use records stay private.
No credit card required.
When an insurance company requests prior authorization for a psychiatric medication, they ask for chart notes. What they are entitled to is evidence of medical necessity: the diagnosis, the treatment history, and the clinical rationale for the chosen medication. What they are not entitled to is your patient’s trauma history, family psychiatric history, or substance use records. A pharmacy benefits manager does not need any of that to determine whether an ADHD diagnosis justifies a medication.
42 CFR Part 2 protects substance use disorder treatment records specifically. But the broader principle applies across psychiatric documentation: patients share their most sensitive information in a psychiatric session on the understanding that it will not be handed to a third party without specific consent. Sending a full chart note to an insurance reviewer violates that trust, even when it is technically permissible.
PMHScribe generates a prior authorization letter that gives insurers exactly what they need and nothing they don’t.
No extra data entry. No separate workflow.
Run your session normally. PMHScribe records and documents the visit, including medication discussions, trial history, and clinical decision-making.
After the session, select Prior Authorization from your note options. PMHScribe reviews the transcript, identifies the medication and indication, and builds the letter.
The PA letter is ready in seconds. Review, edit if needed, and send. Staff can submit. Done.
Everything the insurer needs. Nothing they don’t.
PMHScribe reviews the session transcript and constructs the clinical argument for the prescribed medication: diagnosis, symptom burden, functional impairment, and why this drug class is appropriate for this patient at this time.
Prior authorization almost always requires documenting what was tried first. PMHScribe pulls medication trial history from the session and formats it the way payers expect to see it: drug, dose, duration, outcome, reason for discontinuation.
PMHScribe identifies applicable clinical research supporting the medication choice and includes citations in the letter. Most providers don't have time to pull literature during a session. PMHScribe does it automatically.
Substance use history, trauma details, and sensitive psychiatric content that have no bearing on the medication authorization are not included in the PA letter. Insurers get what they need for a coverage decision. Your patient's private history stays private.
Administrative staff in group practices can generate the PA letter from within the same session note workflow. Provider reviews before submission. No separate system required.
PMHScribe generates the complete prior authorization letter in seconds from the session transcript. Review it and send it. No manual drafting.
