The short version: Chart Flow and Adentris both touch the chart, but they do different jobs. Chart Flow, an AI documentation agent from Onpoint Healthcare Partners, captures encounters and preps charts with summaries, care gaps, and HCC capture across the patient journey. Adentris is a revenue integrity and documentation compliance layer purpose-built for behavioral health and SUD that reviews the note before the claim is submitted, with rules like ASAM level of care and 42 CFR Part 2 and an appeals and denials module, running on any EHR. If your problem is documentation and chart prep, Chart Flow is built for that. If your problem is behavioral health denials, that is where Adentris focuses.
Both touch the chart, but for different ends, so the comparison is about which job you need done. Here is an honest comparison.
What Adentris does
Adentris is an AI platform for revenue integrity and documentation compliance built specifically for behavioral health and SUD programs. It works on top of the EHR you already run, connecting through an API or HL7 where one exists (for example Alleva, Pimsy, Kipu, Epic, or Athenahealth) and through a secure web agent where it does not, so there is no migration. It reviews notes in real time and flags the elements that get behavioral health claims denied before the claim is submitted: medical necessity, ASAM level-of-care justification, treatment plan updates, group therapy attendance, service units, signature timing, and 42 CFR Part 2 consent. When something is missing, it drafts the correction for the clinician to accept, and it pairs documentation review with an appeals and denials module. Adentris is not a scribe: it does not write the note, it makes sure the note will get paid. Adentris is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified, with 42 CFR Part 2 controls and BAAs in place.
What Chart Flow does
Chart Flow is an AI voice-to-chart documentation agent from Onpoint Healthcare Partners that captures encounters and preps charts, generating summaries, surfacing care gaps, and supporting HCC capture across the patient journey, with coding handled by a sibling agent. For organizations that want AI chart preparation and documentation support across specialties, Chart Flow is a capable option.

Which should you choose?
Chart Flow is built to capture the encounter and prepare the chart. Adentris is built for a different job: making sure behavioral health and SUD documentation supports the claim before it is submitted. It flags a missing medical necessity statement, an unjustified ASAM level of care, or a missing 42 CFR Part 2 consent, drafts the correction, and pairs review with an appeals and denials module, running on any EHR through a secure web agent. For a behavioral health or SUD program, that specialty depth and pre-submission timing are the practical differences.
- Choose Chart Flow if you want an AI agent that captures encounters and preps charts with summaries, care gaps, and HCC capture across specialties.
- Choose Adentris if you run a behavioral health or SUD program and want the documentation checked against the specialty rules that drive denials, ASAM, medical necessity, and 42 CFR Part 2, with drafted fixes and appeals, on any EHR.
Adentris as a Chart Flow alternative for behavioral health revenue integrity
If you are evaluating Chart Flow for a behavioral health or SUD program, the question is what job you need done. Capturing the encounter and prepping the chart is useful, but behavioral health claims are denied for field-specific reasons: an unjustified ASAM level of care, a missing medical necessity statement, group therapy attendance and service units that do not line up, or a 42 CFR Part 2 consent that was not captured. Adentris is built around those rules, drafts the fix before submission, pairs it with an appeals and denials workflow, and runs on any EHR through an API, HL7, or a secure web agent, so it complements a documentation agent or stands in where behavioral health revenue integrity is the gap.
How Adentris helps
For behavioral health and SUD organizations, the biggest revenue leak is documentation, and it is specific: medical necessity that was never shown, missing ASAM justification, a Part 2 consent that was not captured. Adentris reviews every chart in real time inside your existing EHR and flags exactly those gaps before the claim is filed, then drafts the fix, and it pairs that with an appeals and denials module so compliance and revenue integrity live in one place. In practice that means fewer denied claims, less audit exposure, and far less time spent reworking documentation after a payer pushes back. Adentris is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified, with 42 CFR Part 2 controls and BAAs in place. To see it on your own charts, book a 30-minute call with our team.
The bottom line
Chart Flow captures and preps the chart; Adentris makes sure behavioral health and SUD documentation gets paid. For a SUD program, Adentris brings ASAM and 42 CFR Part 2 depth, drafts the fix before submission, and pairs it with appeals, on any EHR.

Yes. They solve different halves of the problem, so a program can use Chart Flow to capture and prep the chart and Adentris to verify the documentation supports the claim and to handle appeals. Adentris reviews the note however it was written, so it fits alongside Chart Flow.
Is Adentris a good alternative to Chart Flow?

Adentris focuses on catching and correcting the behavioral health and SUD gaps that drive denials before submission, with ASAM and 42 CFR Part 2 built in and an appeals and denials module, and it runs on any EHR without a migration.
Which is better for a substance use disorder program?
For SUD, the claims that get denied usually turn on ASAM level of care, medical necessity, and 42 CFR Part 2, which Adentris is built around with real-time, pre-submission review and drafted corrections. Chart Flow is strong for AI chart capture, summaries, and HCC preparation. Programs that want SUD-specific compliance depth and denials support often lean Adentris.
