OptiMantra launches built-in AI Scribe for independent practices
OptiMantra has launched AI Scribe, a clinical documentation tool built into its electronic health record platform for independent practices. The tool listens to a patient visit with consent and drafts a structured note for the provider to review, edit, and sign.
- AI Scribe drafts structured clinical notes directly in OptiMantra's chart.
- Providers review, edit, and sign every note before it reaches the chart.
- The tool is available from November 11, 2026, to OptiMantra customers.
- Pricing starts at $19 per provider, per month.
- New OptiMantra practices can try AI Scribe during a free trial.
AI charting inside the existing visit record
AI Scribe is designed to remove a separate step from clinical documentation. A provider starts the visit in OptiMantra, the scribe listens, and a draft is available in the visit record after the encounter ends. The workflow does not require another application, a second login, or copying text between windows.
OptiMantra said the tool is intended to address the time independent providers spend finishing notes after patients have left. The company also says that listening during the visit can help providers avoid dividing their attention between the patient and a screen.
Each note remains a draft until the provider reviews it, makes any changes, and signs it. AI Scribe does not diagnose or finalize documentation on its own. Nothing reaches the chart until the provider signs it.
Pricing and availability
AI Scribe is available to OptiMantra customers beginning November 11, 2026. A practice administrator can turn it on from within an existing OptiMantra account.
Pricing starts at $19 per provider, per month. OptiMantra also offers an unlimited option for higher volume practices. Practices evaluating the platform for the first time can try AI Scribe as part of a free trial.
OptiMantra serves independent and multi-disciplinary practices, including integrative and functional medicine, behavioral health and psychiatry, direct primary care, medspa and aesthetics, musculoskeletal care, and acupuncture.
OptiMantra positions the tool as part of a wider platform
Nishant Phadnis, Chief Product Officer at OptiMantra, said the company built AI Scribe into the visit note after customers identified after-hours charting as a clear problem. “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,” Phadnis said.
CEO Jeff Hindman described AI Scribe as part of a longer product commitment aimed at reducing administrative work for clinics. The company said additional AI solutions are coming soon, without providing further details in the announcement.
OptiMantra combines scheduling, charting, telehealth, patient engagement, point-of-sale, inventory, insurance billing, and reporting in one platform. According to the company, the platform supports more than four million booked appointments and over $230 million in point-of-sale transactions for practices across North America.
