A visit, end to end

What changes in a psychiatrist’s day

Before the visit

Last note and current meds in one pane

Previous plan, current medication list and last-visit findings in front of you — so the visit starts with context, not scrolling.

During

Ambient or dictated — your call per patient

Record the encounter, or dictate a summary after. MSE and medication changes populate as you go; nothing is stored.

After

Review, fix the two lines that need you, sign

Diagnosis-organized A&P, MDM summary for the E&M level, SI/HI structured. Copy into the EHR as structured text.

Capabilities

Psychiatric documentation, not generic medical notes

Every feature designed for how psychiatrists actually document.

MSE auto-population

Mental Status Exam populates from your session — appearance, behavior, speech, mood, affect, thought process, thought content, cognition, insight, judgment. Edit the abnormals, keep the rest.

Psychiatric pharmacology accuracy

Trained on psychiatric medications, dosages, titration protocols and drug interactions. No more AI hallucinating Lamictal 200 mg as 20 mg or confusing Seroquel 25 mg with 250 mg.

SI/HI documentation precision

Captures the clinical distinction between passive ideation, active ideation with plan, and denied ideation. Documents protective factors, means restriction and safety planning — the documentation that protects your license.

Assessment & plan by diagnosis

Each diagnosis documented with current status (improving / stable / worsening), clinical reasoning, medication changes and follow-up plan. Mirrors how you actually think about complex cases.

E&M leveling support

Documentation structured to support medical decision making (MDM) complexity. Captures the data reviewed, diagnoses managed and risk elements that justify your E&M level — 99213, 99214, 90833 add-on.

Post-session dictation

Many psychiatrists prefer not to record sessions. Dictate a 2-minute clinical summary after the patient leaves. Psynopsis structures it into a complete, diagnosis-organized note.

“The AI actually understands psychiatric terminology. Unlike generic scribes, it gets the nuances of mental status exams and treatment plans. I was skeptical, but this is the first tool that documents the way I actually think about my patients.”

Frequently asked by psychiatrists

Does it support 90792 and 99214 + 90833 visits?
Yes. Templates cover psychiatric diagnostic evaluations (90791/90792) and E&M follow-ups (99213/99214) with or without a psychotherapy add-on (90833/90836). MDM elements — problems addressed, data reviewed, risk — and psychotherapy time are surfaced in the draft so the note supports the level and add-on you select. Code selection remains the clinician’s decision.
Can I use it without recording the patient?
Yes. Psynopsis supports post-session dictation — dictate a 2-minute clinical summary after the patient leaves, and Psynopsis structures it into a complete note with MSE, A&P by diagnosis and appropriate documentation to support your E&M level. Nothing from the session is recorded.
What about SUD records?
42 CFR Part 2 handling is built in. Psynopsis maintains separation between psychotherapy notes and progress notes, with access controls for each record type, so substance use disorder documentation stays distinct from the general record.
How is Psynopsis different from Freed or Heidi for psychiatrists?
Freed and Heidi are general medical scribes covering many specialties. They use generic templates with no understanding of psychiatric MSE format, diagnosis-organized notes, SI/HI documentation nuance or 42 CFR Part 2 handling. Psynopsis was built exclusively for psychiatry by a practicing psychiatric clinician.
Does it support complex psychopharmacology documentation?
Yes. Psynopsis handles polypharmacy, augmentation strategies, cross-titration documentation and drug interaction notes. It doesn’t “correct” your prescribing — it documents it accurately, including off-label use with clinical rationale.
How much does it cost?
Free tier available with basic AI documentation. Professional at $75/month includes advanced AI features, custom templates, MSE integration and treatment-plan documentation templates. Enterprise pricing is available for group practices and health systems. No credit card required to start.
