Valant Brings New Capabilities to Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Programs

Audio By Carbonatix

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 2, 2025--

Valant, the leading EHR platform for behavioral health, today announced the launch of its new solution designed specifically for Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP).

IOP and PHP programs play a critical role in bridging the gap between weekly outpatient therapy and inpatient care. But the operational demands—managing daily schedules, tracking authorizations, submitting complex claims, and proving medical necessity—often overwhelm providers, resulting in lost revenue and administrative burden.

Valant’s IOP/PHP solution was built to directly address these challenges, positioning utilization review as the backbone of compliance while uniting institutional billing and level-of-care management in one integrated, HIPAA-compliant system.

“IOP/PHP providers need more than scheduling software; they need a system designed to handle the complexity of structured outpatient care specific to their operational nuances,” said Ram Krishnan, CEO of Valant. “Valant was built with that complexity in mind, making it possible for IOPs and PHPs to grow sustainably while maintaining a patient-first focus.”

Tackling the Hardest Operational Challenges

Running an IOP or PHP means overseeing high volumes of sessions every week, keeping up with strict payer rules, and managing a substantial volume of documentation. Valant is differentiated in the marketplace by addressing these challenges directly in an integrated system by:

• Simplifying scheduling & attendance tracking to reduce no-shows and improve engagement.
• Automating billing & utilization reviews to stay ahead of payer requirements, reduce errors and minimize denied claims.
• Streamlining discharge workflows to ensure complete documentation for each patient journey.

Valant’s solution helps providers stay compliant, reduce costly errors, and give staff more time with patients.

Closing the Care Gap

Historically, EHR platforms have been designed for either private outpatient practices or residential programs, leaving IOP/PHP providers to work with disconnected, third-party tools. Valant’s solution fills this gap in one fully integrated system, helping providers manage programs smoothly, meet payer expectations, and reduce staff burnout.

“Most clinicians enter the behavioral health field out of passion—they believe deeply in the work they do,” said Trey Carter, Valant Executive Chairman of the Board and former CEO of Acadia Healthcare and Summit Health. “Yet every administrative burden that pulls clinicians away from patient care erodes that passion. IOPs and PHPs are incredibly effective programs, but they involve complex business components. Valant’s solution is to take care of those business components so providers can run sustainable programs and continue doing what they love: helping patients.”

With Valant’s expansion into the IOP/PHP market, providers gain operational clarity, financial stability, and the ability to spend more time leading groups and less time chasing paperwork, resulting in delivering smoother, more cost-effective programs for providers and better outcomes for patients.
