Schedule the appointment as a telemedicine visit on the Althea Smart EHR calendar. The patient receives a secure meeting link automatically with their appointment confirmation. They tap the link to join directly in a browser. You join from the appointment on your schedule, the visit runs inside the patient chart.

Billing is built directly into the chart. The moment a provider closes a progress note, a claim is automatically generated with the visit’s ICD-10 and CPT codes attached. Billers see the claim, the source note, and the codes side-by-side, and can add, edit, or remove codes before the claim is scrubbed and submitted. No double entry, no separate billing software, no waiting on superbills.

Payments are built directly into the chart, schedule, and check-in workflows. Charge a card at the front desk with or without a reader, send a secure text-to-pay link, accept payment at the kiosk during check-in, let patients pay through the Althea Health Patient Portal, or charge a saved card-on-file directly from inside the patient’s chart. Every transaction posts back to the patient ledger automatically.

You tap once to start the ambient session on your iPhone or iPad. Althea Smart EHR listens through the device microphone, identifies speakers (provider vs. patient), transcribes the conversation, and generates a structured SOAP note, all in real time. You review and sign. No separate recorder, no scribe.
