What You Should Know:

Accurate and thorough documentation is essential in healthcare. It ensures that providers are reimbursed for their services and that patients receive appropriate care. However, inadequate documentation can have severe repercussions for provider groups, including prepayment reviews, insurance clawbacks (which can destabilize finances), misdiagnoses, inadequate treatment, and poor patient outcomes. 

The co-founder of Brellium experienced a personal medical misdiagnosis that led to two years of frustration, characterized by numerous specialist visits, ineffective treatments, and administrative burdens like insurance phone tag and billing issues. This experience revealed a critical flaw in the healthcare system: documentation oversights can trigger a cascade of negative consequences, impacting both patients and providers. Brellium was founded to address this systemic failure by providing providers with tools to deliver measurement-based, clinically accurate, and compliant care, ultimately leading to better and faster patient recovery.
