# Stable

> Stable builds AI tools for behavioral health practices. Its AI front desk answers every patient call, handles text and iMessage, and gives patients a portal to manage their own care. Its AI billing specialist submits clean claims, diagnoses denials, and resubmits them. HIPAA-compliant and integrated with leading EHRs (athenahealth, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Tebra, AdvancedMD, TheraNest, NextGen Healthcare, Epic).

Stable leads with the AI front desk, because front desk coverage is the constraint most behavioral health practices hit first: calls go to voicemail, texts go unread, and patients who cannot reach a practice go elsewhere. Every channel books into the practice's existing EHR. Stable also runs an AI billing specialist for behavioral health, especially psychiatry and addiction/substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, where claims are denied at higher rates than almost any other specialty.

## Core pages
- [AI Front Desk](https://stablehealth.io/ai-front-desk-behavioral-health): The full front desk for a behavioral health practice. Answers every call 24/7, handles patient text and iMessage, and runs a patient self-service portal. Books appointments, verifies insurance, completes intake, escalates crisis conversations to staff, and writes everything to the EHR.
- [AI Receptionist](https://stablehealth.io/ai-behavioral-health-receptionist): AI voice receptionist that answers every call 24/7, books and reschedules patients, collects and verifies insurance, and writes directly to the EHR.
- [Patient Messaging (Text & iMessage)](https://stablehealth.io/behavioral-health-patient-messaging): Two-way patient messaging over SMS and iMessage. Answers every message around the clock, books and reschedules inside the thread, verifies insurance, and escalates crisis language to on-call staff. Matters in behavioral health because phone anxiety keeps a meaningful share of patients from calling at all.
- [Patient Portal](https://stablehealth.io/behavioral-health-patient-portal): Self-service portal where patients book and reschedule, complete intake and outcome measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7), see and pay balances, message the practice, and follow their treatment plan. Opens in a phone browser with no app download, which is where behavioral health portal adoption usually fails.
- [Behavioral Health Scheduling Software](https://stablehealth.io/behavioral-health-scheduling): AI patient scheduling that answers calls 24/7, offers online self-scheduling, matches patients to the right clinician and insurance panel, verifies benefits at booking, refills canceled slots from the waitlist, and syncs two-way with the EHR.
- [AI Behavioral Health Billing](https://stablehealth.io/behavioral-health-billing): AI billing specialist that submits clean claims, diagnoses denied claims, and corrects and resubmits them. Built for behavioral health's time-based codes, medical-necessity rules, and prior authorizations.
- [AI Psychiatry Billing](https://stablehealth.io/psychiatry-billing): Psychiatry billing for E/M coding, psychotherapy add-on codes (90833/90836/90838), medication management, telepsychiatry modifiers, and denial management.
- [AI Addiction & SUD Treatment Billing](https://stablehealth.io/addiction-treatment-billing): Substance use disorder and addiction treatment billing — IOP/PHP and level-of-care billing, ASAM documentation, authorizations, and denial management.
- [AI Business Development](https://stablehealth.io/ai-behavioral-health-business-development): AI patient acquisition that responds to every inquiry in seconds, nurtures leads who aren't ready yet, qualifies their needs, and books new patients into the EHR — turning more inquiries into kept first appointments.
- [AI Reporting](https://stablehealth.io/ai-behavioral-health-reporting): Describe any report in plain English and Stable builds it from your EHR data — operations, revenue cycle, and clinical outcomes, with no SQL or analysts.
- [Missed Call Cost Calculator](https://stablehealth.io/missed-call-cost-calculator): Free calculator that estimates what unanswered calls cost a behavioral health practice per year, from call volume, missed-call rate, new-patient share, and course-of-treatment value. Every assumption is editable.
- [Home](https://stablehealth.io/): Overview of Stable's AI tools for behavioral health practices.
- [About](https://stablehealth.io/about): Founders (Nick Manzek and Nikhil Kulkarni) and company mission.
