Replaces · Your outcomes tool
An outcomes tool that can't reach your claims can't win you a rate.
Assessments go out, scores come back, and they live in a system that knows nothing about the episode of care, the level of care, or what any of it was billed at. Which is exactly what a payer conversation requires.
Twenty-four instruments included. Not a separate per-provider subscription.
The real invoice
What it costs, including the parts that never appear on one.
Unisona Health replaces a standalone outcomes tool with twenty-four standardized instruments built into the EHR. Assessments go out on a schedule, score themselves, trend against the patient's baseline on the chart, and roll up into a payer-facing program summary. They are included on every plan rather than priced per clinician.
The subscription is the visible line. Everything marked hidden below is paid in staff hours or in revenue that quietly never arrives.
Illustrative. Subscription ranges are typical rather than quoted, and the hour estimates come from the programs we built this with. Your numbers will differ — the point is which lines are on the invoice and which are not.
Where it breaks
Four seams, all of them at the same boundary.
A clinician reading a note cannot see the trend without opening another system.
Without admission and discharge dates in the same record, baseline-to-latest is a manual join.
Outcomes cannot be reported against level of care or payer, which is how a payer wants to see them.
Producing something a network manager will read means building it by hand every time.
Instrument libraries, scoring logic and patient-facing delivery are often excellent, and better than what most EHRs bundle. The gap is not measurement. It is that the measurement cannot be joined to the episode or the claim without a person doing it.
Switching
What moving actually involves.
No implementation fee on Solo or Group Practice. Larger migrations with historical data are quoted separately.
Most tools export instrument results with dates and identifiers.

Outcome measurement
Twenty-four standardized assessments go out before and after sessions, score themselves, and trend against the patient's baseline.

Treatment plans
Goals, objectives, and interventions live on the chart, not in a document someone re-types every review.

Payer contracts & rates
Contracted rates stored per payer and per service, so the expected payment is on the claim before it goes out and underpayments are visible the moment the remittance posts.
Read more →Collection was never the hard part
Everyone collects assessments. Turning them into evidence a payer will act on requires the scores, the episode and the claim to be in the same place.

Questions
Common questions.
Can an EHR replace our outcomes measurement tool?
Yes. Unisona Health includes twenty-four standardized instruments, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, DAST-10, PCL-5 and C-SSRS. They are assigned by patient, program or level of care, score automatically and trend on the chart, attached to the episode of care and the claim, which a standalone tool cannot reach.
Does outcome measurement cost extra per clinician?
No. The twenty-four instruments are included on every plan rather than sold as a separate per-provider subscription. Standalone outcomes tools are typically priced per clinician per month, before counting the staff time spent copying scores into notes and assembling payer summaries by hand.
How do we use outcomes data in payer rate negotiations?
Roll results up into a program-level summary: baseline against latest score, with counts, in a payer-facing format. Because scores, episodes and claims share one record, the summary needs no manual join, and individual trends can also attach to an audit packet to support medical necessity.
Can we bring our historical assessment scores with us?
Yes, if your current tool can export instrument results with dates and identifiers, which most do. Historical scores are matched to the patient and the episode of care they belong to. Assessment score history is an on-request item in the migration, sized with you before it is quoted.
How are assessments delivered to patients?
Before intake, on a schedule, or at discharge, via the portal, SMS or a tablet in session. Assignment rules set which instrument goes to which program on what schedule, so collection no longer depends on someone remembering and completion rates stop drifting.

Your admissions CRM
It captures the enquiry well. Then someone types everything it captured into the EHR a second time, and the two records begin drifting apart from that moment.

Your clearinghouse portal
Claim.MD is included in Unisona Health, so claims, remittances and eligibility run inside the EHR. No more checking status or keying 835s in a portal.

Your LMS
Every new hire is created twice and every departure remembered twice. Completion reports are reconciled against a staff list that lives elsewhere.

A whiteboard at the nursing station, a spreadsheet someone updates, and an EHR that learns about admissions later. Three records of the same census.
