Intake is paper-based
Patients fill out paper forms in the waiting room. You re-enter the data. PHI sits in a folder. HIPAA risk every step.
Therapists spend 8+ hours a week on intake forms, scheduling, and insurance billing. Vex automates it securely — so your time goes to your patients.
Paper forms. Missed appointments. Stalled insurance claims. Patient progress slipping between sessions. There’s a better way.
Patients fill out paper forms in the waiting room. You re-enter the data. PHI sits in a folder. HIPAA risk every step.
30–40% no-show rate without reminders. Each missed session is $120–200 you can’t bill. No way to fill the slot last minute.
CPT codes. Claim submission. Reimbursement tracking. Denials. Resubmissions. It’s a part-time job you didn’t sign up for.
You meant to send the worksheet. You forgot. Patient doesn’t practice. Progress stalls. Sessions become ground-zero again and again.
Secure. Simple. Built for the way you actually work with patients.
HIPAA-compliant intake forms. Patient fills out before the first session. Data encrypted in transit and at rest. No paper, no risk.
SMS and email reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before. Reduces no-shows 40–50%. Patient confirms with one tap.
Patients see appointments, billing balance, assigned exercises, and secure messages. HIPAA-grade access controls.
Assign worksheets, mood logs, CBT exercises post-session. Patient marks complete. You see compliance before next visit.
Submit claims directly. Track reimbursements. Auto-follow-up on denials and stalled claims. Less time on the phone with payers.
Copay collected at booking or after the session. Card on file. Patient never forgets. You always get paid.
