OptiMantra Launches AI Scribe, Bringing Native AI Charting to Independent Practices

ATLANTA, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OptiMantra, the EHR and practice management platform built for integrative, functional, wellness, and behavioral health practices, today announced the launch of AI Scribe, a clinical documentation experience built directly into the OptiMantra chart. AI Scribe listens to the patient visit, with the patient's consent, and drafts a structured note in the visit record, ready for the provider to review, adjust, and sign.

For most independent providers, the workday has a second half that nobody scheduled. The last patient leaves, the clinic goes quiet, and the notes are still waiting. The day gets finished twice, once with patients and once alone at a screen.

The cost shows up inside the visit too. When a provider is drafting the note in their head while the patient is still talking, attention splits. Patients notice. And a note finished hours later leans on memory.

OptiMantra built AI Scribe to close that gap where the work already happens. There is no second application to open and nothing to paste between windows. The provider starts the visit, the scribe listens, and the draft is waiting after the visit ends.

Every note goes to the provider to review, edit, and sign, and nothing reaches the chart until they sign it. AI Scribe does not diagnose and does not finalize anything on its own. It captures what was said so the provider can add what they know.

"AI Scribe is making my day so much smoother. Thank you!"

"Charting after hours was the clearest problem our customers brought to us," said Nishant Phadnis, Chief Product Officer at OptiMantra. "So we built the scribe into the visit note rather than next to it, and we built it so the provider still reviews and signs every word. That's the bar for every AI capability we ship: solve something real, and never ask a clinician to hand over their judgment to get it."

"Independent practices are where personalized care actually happens, and providers deserve technology that gives back more than it asks of them," said Jeff Hindman, CEO of OptiMantra. "AI Scribe is one piece of a much longer commitment. We are building a platform that keeps taking work off our clinics' plates, so their time goes to their patients and to the practices they have worked hard to build."

• Attention where it belongs. The scribe listens so the provider doesn't have to split focus between the patient and a screen.
• A day that only has to be finished once. The visit ends and the draft is waiting. The provider reviews, signs, and goes home.
• A fuller account of the visit. The provider's memory plus a scribe that was listening too, so details that would fade by evening are already down on the page.
• The provider stays in charge. Every note is a draft. The provider reviews it, changes what they want, and signs.
• Right where the work already happens. No new application, no second login, and no outside workflow. AI Scribe is built into OptiMantra.

AI Scribe is available to OptiMantra customers beginning today and can be turned on by a practice administrator from within an existing OptiMantra account. Pricing starts at $19 per provider, per month, with an unlimited option for higher volume practices. Practices evaluating OptiMantra for the first time can try AI Scribe as part of a free trial.
