About
Valant is a market-leading Behavioral Health EHR designed exclusively for mental health and behavioral health practices of all sizes — from solo practitioners to large multi-site organizations and franchise groups. Unlike general-purpose EHR platforms, Valant is purpose-built for the unique workflows and compliance requirements of behavioral health, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP). On the clinical side, Valant provides AI-powered Notes Assist for narrative-generating documentation, integrated outcome measures, ePrescribing, PDMP access, eLabs, and group therapy software. The platform also supports telehealth directly within the EHR, reducing the need for third-party tools. For practice management, Valant streamlines patient scheduling, prospective patient management, consent and intake forms, eligibility checking, and integrated credit card processing. Its Revenue Cycle Management services, claim assistance, and integrated clearinghouse solution simplify the entire billing lifecycle. Patients benefit from a dedicated portal offering online bill pay, telehealth access, and integrated communications. Administrators gain access to performance reporting, utilization review, and clinical reporting dashboards to monitor both financial and clinical progress. Valant is trusted by psychiatry clinicians, therapists, practice managers, billing agencies, and practice owners who want to reduce operational friction, stay compliant, and scale their behavioral health practice efficiently.
