Built-In Telehealth for Behavioral Health Practices
Offering convenient, secure virtual care no matter where you are, all within a single platform designed for behavioral health, is the power of Valant Telehealth.
A disconnected telehealth platform adds another system to your workflow. With Valant, virtual care is part of the same behavioral health EHR you use for scheduling, documentation, billing, patient engagement, and clinical care. That gives clinicians and staff fewer systems to manage while keeping the virtual visit connected with the rest of the patient journey.
Group Scheduling and Attendance for IOP/PHP
Host recurring IOP/PHP group appointments via group telehealth, with integrated tools to document and bill for group sessions. Simplify managing multiple patients across structured programs with accurate, real-time attendance tracking, helping your team reduce administrative work while keeping recurring group care organized.
Valant also supports multi-participant virtual care with interactive whiteboarding, screen sharing, group documentation, and configurable billing workflows for behavioral health groups.
Create a Safe and Trusting Space in Telehealth
Providing behavioral health services through telehealth presents unique opportunities to connect with patients. Building a strong therapeutic relationship relies on trust and a sense of safety, and that remains essential in a virtual setting.
Platform security matters, too. When evaluating virtual-care technology, consider encryption, access controls, authentication, secure data handling, and how telehealth connects with the rest of your clinical workflow.
Collect Payment Before Delivering Care
AutoPay Pre-Visit enables your practice to collect copays before patients join their sessions. With integrated telehealth and credit card processing, you can ensure you are paid prior to delivering remote care.
Because payment collection and telehealth live within the broader Valant workflow, your team can reduce separate payment follow-up before or after virtual visits.
Host Secure, HIPAA-Compliant Virtual Visits
Using separate solutions for virtual visits creates extra steps and increases data liability. A purpose-built telehealth solution within your EHR keeps virtual-care workflows closer to the patient record and reduces the number of disconnected systems handling sensitive information.
Valant Telehealth includes authentication, access controls, and security features designed to support HIPAA-compliant behavioral health care.
Interactive Tools For Engaging Virtual Care
Go beyond the basics of virtual visits. Valant Telehealth allows you to host group therapy sessions, invite guests for couples or family appointments, turn on virtual backgrounds, collaborate on a digital whiteboard, and chat with patients during a session.
Patients can join the waiting room ahead of the session start from any browser or the MYIO mobile app. No matter your approach to virtual care, Valant adapts to your practice.
Give Patients Flexible Access to Virtual Care
Your clients want easy access to care. Valant gives patients multiple ways to enter a virtual session, including browser access, MYIO, and guest access links. The emphasis is on simple session access rather than requiring patients to manage a separate third-party telehealth account.
MYIO remains connected to the experience for patients who use the portal for scheduling, payments, forms, and other interactions, but telehealth access is only one part of the broader virtual-care workflow.
Telehealth for Individuals, Couples, and Groups
Offer individual and group telehealth without limitations. Valant Telehealth adapts to your practice, supporting individual therapy, couples therapy, family sessions, and group counseling with up to 30 participants.
Clients can join directly through their MYIO account or through a guest access link. For group care, clinicians can move between group and individual documentation while keeping attendance and billing workflows connected with the session.
Telehealth for Psychiatry and Medication Management
Psychiatry practices need virtual-care technology that fits into a larger medication-management workflow. With Valant, telehealth operates in the same behavioral health EHR environment as psychiatric documentation, scheduling, outcome measures, ePrescribing, EPCS, PDMP access, billing, and patient engagement.
That means a prescribing clinician or PMHNP can deliver a virtual visit without treating telehealth as an isolated video call. Clinical documentation and medication-management tools remain part of the broader workflow before, during, and after the appointment.
Telehealth prescribing requirements can change, particularly around controlled substances. Prescribing practices should monitor current federal and state requirements rather than assuming virtual prescribing rules remain static. For additional context, read our article on telehealth prescribing requirements.
How Valant Telehealth Integrates with the Rest of Your EHR
Valant Telehealth is built into the larger EHR workflow rather than operating as a standalone video application. That connection matters because the work surrounding a behavioral health appointment extends well beyond the video session itself.
