A general AI scribe writes SOAP shaped for primary care. A psychiatric follow-up is not shaped like that. Neither is a therapy session. Every note becomes a reshape job.

The shape of the note

Same patient. Three different notes.

What a general AI scribe produces. What a BH-specific scribe produces for the same patient. The difference is not opinion. It is what the payer expects to see.

BH-trained, not adapted

The vocabulary, the screeners, the modalities. Built in.

A scribe trained on primary care does not know what akathisia sounds like in a conversation. It does not know that PHQ-9 score deltas belong in the note. It does not know how to structure a risk-of-self-harm assessment that holds up to chart review.

01 Validated screeners, scored and structured

Numeric scores enter the note in the shape payers expect. Score deltas across sessions are tracked. 96127 is billable up to four measures per visit.

PHQ-9 GAD-7 PCL-5 MDQ AUDIT ASRS C-SSRS

02 Therapy modality awareness

The model recognizes interventions by name and writes them into the note in modality-correct language. No "client appears to have engaged in coping strategies." A name is named.

CBT DBT ACT IFS EMDR MI Psychodynamic Couples / family Child & adolescent

03 Format choice for therapists

SOAP, BIRP, or DAP. Choose once, the note arrives in that shape every visit. Switching formats does not require rebuilding the template.

SOAP BIRP DAP

04 BH vocabulary the model knows

A general scribe mishears or omits these. JotPsych writes them. By name. With the correct clinical implication carried into the note.

Akathisia (vs anxiety) Countertransference Parasuicidal behavior Dissociation episodes EMDR phases IFS parts language DBT skills by name MI stance + reflections CBT distortions by name TD vs EPS Anhedonia gradient SI ideation vs intent vs plan

05 Risk language built for defensibility

Suicide and homicide risk assessments are not free text. They are structured into ideation, intent, plan, means, protective factors, and disposition, in the shape a chart review or audit reads.

Ideation Intent Plan Means access Protective factors Disposition + safety plan

06 DSM-5 specificity, not ICD shorthand

F33.1 not F33. F31.81 not F31. The diagnosis arrives at the level of specificity the payer actually pays. Severity, recurrence, and specifier captured every time.

F33.1 MDD recurrent moderate F31.81 Bipolar II F41.1 GAD F43.10 PTSD F90.2 ADHD combined
Forms we send. Forms we ingest.

The paperwork around the note, not just the note.

Pre-visit screeners, AI-scribe consent, prior auth, education letters, superbills. Sent to the patient, surfaced for the clinician, attached to the chart.

What patients see

Sent by text or email before the session. Returns to the chart by the time the visit starts.

Pre-visit intake
Demographics, insurance, current meds, prior treatment, presenting concern. Conditional logic shows or hides fields based on prior answers.
async
AI-scribe + recording consent
Plain-language disclosure of what is recorded, what is destroyed, what the AI generates. Signed once, attached to the chart, valid across sessions until revoked.
e-sign
Validated screeners
PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, MDQ, AUDIT, ASRS, C-SSRS. Scored automatically with cutoff interpretation. Score enters the note as a number, not a sentence.
96127
Release of information
Patient picks the parties (PCP, prior therapist, payer). The ROI lives with the chart and triggers the requested send when signed.
e-sign
Telehealth consent
State-specific by clinician license. Captured before the first virtual session, valid for the duration of the treatment relationship.
e-sign
Treatment plan signoff
Required by some payers. Sent when the plan is built. Patient signature lands in the chart.
e-sign

What clinicians generate

Drafted from the note. Editable. Always reviewed by the clinician before send.

Prior authorization request
Drafted with medical necessity language pulled from the note. Diagnosis, treatments tried, severity markers, requested service. Edit, sign, send to the payer portal.
PA
Client education letter
Plain-language explanation of diagnosis, medication, side effects, or treatment rationale. Tailored to the specific session you just finished.
letter
Superbill / CMS-1500
Drafted with CPT, ICD-10, modifiers, units, and provider info already populated from the note and the chart.
superbill
School / FMLA / disability letter
Templates per common request type. Pulls diagnosis and clinical recommendation from the chart, leaves space for the human language only the clinician can write.
letter
Referral letter
To the PCP, the specialist, or the therapist taking over the case. Pulls the most recent note plus diagnosis and active medications.
letter
Treatment plan
Goals, objectives, interventions, frequency, target dates. Drafted from the intake. Updated when goals are met or revised.

Audit-defended

The audit letter arrives. You are already ready.

Before a note ships, JotAudit checks it against the published documentation rules of every major payer that pays behavioral health. Missing time. Missing risk language. Missing MDM elements. Missing specifier. Caught before signoff, not in a clawback.

Privacy posture

Privacy built for therapy. Not borrowed from medicine.

Therapy sessions are the most sensitive class of clinical data that exists. The posture below is the standard for every JotPsych customer, not the enterprise tier and not a paid add-on.

01
Zero model training
Your clinical sessions are never used to train or fine-tune AI models. The subprocessors do not train on this data either.
02
Audio destroyed at transcription
The original recording is permanently deleted the moment transcription completes. No backups. No cold storage.
03
BAA standard
A Business Associate Agreement is signed with every customer. Standard, not paid. Standard, not tier-gated.
04
Optional PII redaction
Strip patient identifiers from the transcript before the AI ever sees it. Toggle on or off per clinician, per session.
05
You control deletion
Delete a note at any time. When you delete, it is gone. No backups, no cold storage tricks.

Note memory

It learns how you document.

Section order, phrasing, level of detail, what you bold, what you abbreviate. The note memory holds these across sessions. The third note arrives closer to your style than the first. The thirtieth arrives in it.

1 Per-clinician preferences. Two clinicians sharing a chart see two differently-shaped notes.
2 Per-visit-type templates. Your med-mgmt note style does not collapse into your therapy note style.
3 Per-payer adjustments. If your Optum chart-review history flags certain language, the note compensates next time.
4 Template upload. Bring your own. JotPsych writes inside its shape.

From clinician forums

What clinicians say when we are not in the room.

Paraphrased from public Reddit threads in r/PMHNP and r/Psychiatry. Posted unprompted, by clinicians comparing six or more AI scribes.

JotPsych is my favorite, having tried about six options.

PMHNP r/PMHNP · returning recommender

I really enjoy JotPsych. I edit every note and add what I want, but the AI is great. They also provide a transcript so I can revisit and add what I forgot.

PA r/Psychiatry

It is the best of the ones I have tried.

PMHNP r/PMHNP

Whatever code I use, the note will be more than sufficient to support it.
