FAQs

What does Mentalyc do with the recording?
Once the transcript is generated, we promptly delete the recording from our system.
How does Mentalyc help with Insurance audits?
Mentalyc is a powerful tool designed to assist with insurance audits by focusing on the concept of medical necessity. When writing notes, it is crucial to ensure that your client's presentation clearly indicates a diagnosis based on a set of symptoms that are currently occurring. These symptoms should be both frequent and intense, and they should lead to impairments that make normal functioning impossible. We strongly recommend double-checking your notes, especially for any interdependencies between sessions. Please note that Mentalyc is currently capable of analyzing only one session at a time.
What is the significance of anonymizing notes in Mentalyc?
Anonymizing notes involves the removal of client-specific details, such as names and locations, ensuring that the identity of the session participant remains undisclosed. This allows for seamless sharing of notes with colleagues and supervisors, without compromising client confidentiality. Additionally, it prevents anyone from requesting the presentation of transcripts in a legal proceeding.

I'm a therapist considering using Mentalyc, but I'm concerned about security. How does Mentalyc's security compare to other therapy note-taking platforms like Upheal?
Mentalyc places a high priority on security and compliance to ensure a safe and reliable environment for psychologists. While Mentalyc & Upheal are both compliant with various regulations like HIPAA, PHIPAA, PIPEDA, and DPA, Mentalyc follows a more robust security practices and is committed to meeting or exceeding industry standards.

It's important to note that compliance certifications often involve a third-party issuing “stamps,” and some companies may invest heavily in obtaining these stamps such as SOC2, HIGHSTUST, and ISO, for which the users will have to pay via high subscriptions. Mentalyc is compliant with all those but does not have paid certifications. 

In general, the key differentiator is that Mentalyc delivers excellent security and other features without the need for therapists to pay additional costs. We believe in providing superior features and security such as using full anonymization, more note options (PIRP, GIRP, SIRP, PIE etc.) including group and supervision management features, creating custom templates, and supporting dictation across formats, all while maintaining an affordable cost for our users.
How does AI (Artificial Intelligence) determine significance?
Our AI algorithms are trained on extensive datasets of therapy conversations and notes, as well as therapy literature such as the DSM-5 manual and treatment planners. By analyzing conversation patterns, the algorithms are able to draw insightful conclusions that can contribute to your case conceptualization. However, it's important to verify their findings independently. Clinical practice encompasses more than just statistics.
