“Can a behavioral-health-native EHR own the operating and revenue-cycle stack for outpatient/IOP/PHP mental health practices?”
Valant was founded in 2005 as a behavioral-health-specific EHR, born from a practicing psychiatrist's frustration with generic EHRs. Over 20 years it has layered practice management, billing, telehealth, patient portal (MYIO), and integrated credit card processing on top of the clinical core. The embedded finance angle is narrow and payment-centric: Valant is a Registered Partner/ISO of Elavon for card acceptance, with no evidence of banking, lending, or payroll extensions.
Valant processes payments through Elavon.
Valant was founded by David Lischner and is founded in 2005, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States.
Valant has raised $26.3M in total (latest round: Debt Refinancing).
