Why Choose Us
Imagine your sales team—like that overworked intake coordinator—finally freed from the drudgery of crafting emails to potential referrers. We build a custom AI system that scans your EHR for patient trends, identifies high-potential partners such as primary care physicians or community centers, and generates personalized outreach. All data flows through encrypted channels, audited for compliance. Short on time? This isn't a plug-and-play tool; it's engineered to mirror your workflow, from initial lead research to follow-up scheduling. Like a vigilant triage nurse, it prioritizes urgent opportunities while you focus on therapy sessions.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Practice
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly: Your intake coordinators spend 10-15 hours weekly on personalized emails to PCPs for patient referrals and follow-up calls. Our AI automates provider research via secure APIs, drafts HIPAA-compliant messages, and schedules sends—slashing that time by 75% within the first month. Redirect those hours to initial assessments, boosting therapy session bookings by up to 30% and increasing annual revenue without additional hires.
Drive 40% ROI in First Quarter
Drive 40% ROI in First Quarter: Manual outreach to psychiatrist networks yields only 10% response rates due to generic messaging; our system analyzes EHR data on patient demographics and personalizes invites based on specialties like anxiety disorders or clinic zip codes, lifting responses to 35%. Solo practices achieve full payback in 2-3 months, with ongoing automation cutting per-referral acquisition costs from $50 to under $15, enabling scalable growth in behavioral health services.
Seamless HIPAA Safeguards
Seamless HIPAA Safeguards: Compliance is embedded from setup—using end-to-end encryption for PHI (protected health information) in outreach campaigns and automated audit trails for all communications. The system de-identifies referral lists per HIPAA guidelines before processing, preventing breaches that could cost $1.5M per violation on average. This allows your team to prioritize ethical expansion into teletherapy partnerships without compliance distractions.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our outreach was chaotic—our intake team wasted Tuesdays drafting emails to local PCPs for adolescent referrals, missing 40% of follow-ups amid EHR glitches. Now, the AI integrates with our TherapyNotes EHR to auto-generate tailored invites for psychiatry networking events, adding 12 new referral partners in just three months. Compliance audits are built-in, catching PHI risks automatically. It's like having a dedicated referral coordinator available 24/7."
Dr. Emily Chen
Clinical Director, Serenity Mind Clinic (a 10-provider outpatient mental health practice in Seattle)
"As a small three-therapist practice, HIPAA compliance with generic tools kept us up at night, especially for community outreach. AIQ customized a solution that syncs with our SimplePractice scheduling software, auto-flagging sensitive patient data before emails to health fair vendors go out. Our response rates from local mental health fairs surged 28%, and therapists now focus on sessions instead of admin. We've saved a solid 18 hours weekly—no hype, just results."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Wellness Path Therapy (a boutique counseling center specializing in trauma care in Austin, TX)
"We were wary of AI for mental health business development, but post-implementation, it's revolutionized our insurer connections. The system mines anonymized data from past EAP referrals to prioritize outreach targets, helping us secure long-stalled partnerships with two major providers in eight weeks. For our five-provider group, ROI materialized in six weeks through a 25% uptick in insured patient volume—proving its value for sustainable growth."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this ensure HIPAA compliance in outreach?
HIPAA compliance is foundational in our design. We use end-to-end encryption (AES-256 standard) for all data handling, automatically de-identify protected health information before any outreach generation, and implement role-based access controls to limit who sees sensitive details. Every action is logged in an audit trail, exportable for your compliance officer. Unlike generic tools, our system is built to handle mental health specifics, like avoiding references to diagnoses in referral emails. We've audited similar setups for 50+ practices, with zero incidents reported. Implementation includes a compliance review with your legal team to align with your policies.
What kind of time savings can a small mental health practice expect?
For a typical five-therapist practice, manual outreach often consumes 15-25 hours weekly on tasks like researching referrers and drafting emails. Our AI automates 80% of that, reclaiming 12-20 hours for direct patient care or rest—critical in high-burnout fields like mental health. One client, a group in Chicago, reported adding two extra sessions per therapist weekly after deployment, equating to $8K monthly revenue boost. Savings scale with your volume; we baseline your current process during discovery to project exact ROI, often paying for itself in 2-3 months through increased intakes.
Can it integrate with our existing EHR like TherapyNotes?
Absolutely—integration is our specialty. We create secure, two-way API connections to pull anonymized data from EHRs such as TherapyNotes, SimplePractice, or even custom systems, without disrupting your workflow. For instance, the AI can analyze referral patterns from past intakes to suggest outreach to similar providers. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, including testing to ensure data flows accurately and compliantly. No more manual exports; everything syncs in real-time. We've done this for practices using legacy systems, reducing data entry errors by 95% and enabling predictive outreach based on your unique patient demographics.
Is this suitable for a solo practitioner or only larger practices?
Our solutions are custom-built for any size, including solo mental health providers. For a single therapist, it automates outreach to local networks or online directories, saving 5-10 hours weekly that you'd otherwise spend on admin. We scale down costs accordingly—no bloated enterprise pricing. A solo counselor in Texas we worked with used it to build partnerships with school districts, increasing her caseload by 40% in four months. The system starts simple, with core features like email automation and analytics, then expands as your practice grows. It's about efficiency, not volume.
How do you handle personalization without compromising ethics?
Personalization is key, but we prioritize ethics in mental health contexts. The AI generates messages based on public data (e.g., a psychiatrist's focus on anxiety disorders from their website) and your anonymized trends, never using patient specifics. It's like a thoughtful introduction at a conference—relevant but respectful. We include human review gates for approvals and train the model to flag potentially insensitive language. Clients report 30% higher engagement rates this way, building genuine partnerships. Our ethicist-vetted prompts ensure alignment with APA guidelines, fostering trust rather than pushy sales.
What happens if regulations change, like new telehealth rules?
We design for adaptability. Our systems are modular, so updates to HIPAA or telehealth regs (e.g., recent expansions under CMS) can be implemented via quick code revisions without rebuilding. Post-launch, you get quarterly compliance audits and one annual optimization session included. For example, when interstate licensing rules shifted, we updated outreach logic for two clients in weeks, ensuring continued eligibility targeting. This ongoing support—unlike one-off tools—keeps your automation future-proof, protecting your investment and patient privacy amid evolving healthcare landscapes.
