It can also manage the logistics of toxicology screening reminders and bridge the gap between counseling sessions, which is critical for maintaining stability in recovery.

Patients with bipolar disorder require monitoring for early signs of manic or depressive episodes. The AI uses natural language processing to detect changes in speech patterns or reported activity levels during routine CCM calls, flagging potential mood shifts for early intervention before a crisis occurs.

Our AI can conduct PHQ-9 or GAD-7 screenings via phone. The patient's verbal responses are converted into numerical scores and integrated into the patient record. This ensures that standardized assessments are completed at regular intervals, satisfying both clinical best practices and the documentation requirements for BHI and APCM billing.

Yes, Tile Healthcare’s platform is fully HIPAA compliant. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we execute Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all behavioral health clients. Our AI is designed to handle sensitive psychiatric data with the highest level of security and privacy protocols.

Safety is our priority. The AI is programmed with keyword detection for crisis indicators. If a patient mentions self-harm or suicidal ideation, the system immediately executes a crisis protocol, which includes transferring the patient to a live crisis line or alerting the on-call clinician instantly while providing the patient with immediate resources.

While the AI doesn't prescribe, it supports compliance with DEA regulations for controlled substances by automating the scheduling of required in-person or synchronous telehealth visits. It ensures that patients on medications like buprenorphine or benzodiazepines are seen within the legally mandated timeframes.

Yes. If a patient indicates they cannot make an appointment during a CCM check-in call, the AI can access your EHR's real-time availability and offer alternative slots. This immediate rescheduling prevents patients from falling out of care and keeps your providers' schedules optimized.

By automating the 20+ minutes of monthly outreach required for APCM and BHI, practices can generate an additional $60-$150 per patient per month in revenue without hiring more staff. For a practice with 500 qualifying patients, this represents a significant increase in annual net income while improving clinical outcomes.

Consistent contact is the key to adherence in behavioral health. By providing regular, low-friction touchpoints, the AI reinforces the treatment plan, reminds patients of the importance of therapy and medication, and makes them feel supported, which leads to higher retention rates and better long-term recovery metrics.
