What is documentation
costing you?
Plug in your clinician count, note volume, and hourly wage. See exactly what documentation costs your behavioral-health program every month β and what 80% of that looks like back. Numbers update as you type. Bridgeside Recovery clinicians each save 2+ hours a day on charting once they switch.

Conservative inputs.
Honest math.
The calculator runs on the assumptions below. Total cost reduction varies by note format, clinician experience, and program complexity β but the indirect savings live outside this spreadsheet.
- 01
80% time savings, baseline.
Conservative average pulled from production behavioral-health customers. Highest performers exceed 90%; we round down so the math stays honest.
- 02
AI usage cost, transparent.
Roughly $0.03 per progress note and ~$0.001 per BPS summary. Cost scales with volume, not per-seat. No surprise renewals.
- 03
What this number does not count.
Avoided burnout. Reduced turnover. Faster onboarding. Improved compliance posture. The indirect savings usually dwarf the direct labor line.
See it on your actual data.
Schedule a demo and we plug your real census, note volume, and staffing model into the calculator together. Thirty minutes. You leave with the actual number, not a rough estimate.
