The short version: Adentris and Solventum both improve documentation to protect revenue, but they are built for different settings. Solventum, formerly 3M Health Information Systems, offers the 360 Encompass platform for computer-assisted coding, CDI, and revenue integrity, widely used by large hospitals. Adentris is a revenue integrity and documentation compliance layer purpose-built for behavioral health and SUD, with rules like ASAM level of care and 42 CFR Part 2 and an appeals and denials module, running on any EHR. If you are a large acute health system, Solventum is built for that. If you run a behavioral health or SUD program, that specialty depth is the deciding factor.
Both improve documentation to protect revenue, so the comparison comes down to setting and specialty depth. 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 HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified, with 42 CFR Part 2 controls and BAAs in place.
What Solventum does
Solventum, the former 3M Health Information Systems, offers the 360 Encompass platform spanning computer-assisted coding, clinical documentation integrity, and revenue integrity, and its coding tools are used by many of the top-ranked hospitals in the US. For large acute health systems that want an established coding and CDI platform, Solventum is a strong, incumbent option.
Adentris vs Solventum at a glance
| Adentris | Solventum | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | BH and SUD programs focused on denials and compliance | Large acute health systems (coding and CDI) |
| Primary job | Catch and fix denial-driving gaps before the claim is submitted | Computer-assisted coding, CDI, and revenue integrity |
| Review timing | Real time, before the claim is submitted | Concurrent, across the mid-revenue cycle |
| Is it a scribe? | No, it reviews the note, however it was written | No, it is a coding and CDI platform |
| SUD depth | ASAM level of care and 42 CFR Part 2 built in | General acute inpatient focus |
| EHR fit | Any EHR via API, HL7, or a secure web agent (no migration) | EHR integrations |
| Compliance focus | Payer claim denials and revenue integrity | Inpatient coding and documentation integrity |

Which should you choose?
Both improve documentation to protect revenue, so the real question is setting and specialty depth. Solventum is built for acute inpatient coding and CDI at health-system scale. Adentris is built specifically for behavioral health and SUD, where denials turn on ASAM level of care, medical necessity, group therapy attendance, service units, and 42 CFR Part 2 consent. Adentris understands those rules, drafts the correction before submission, pairs review with an appeals and denials module, and runs on any EHR through a secure web agent, including systems that do not expose a clean integration. For a behavioral health or SUD program, that depth and reach are the practical differences.
- Choose Solventum if you are a large acute health system that wants an established computer-assisted coding and CDI platform.
- Choose Adentris if you run a behavioral health or SUD program and want documentation reviewed against the specialty rules that drive your denials, ASAM, medical necessity, and 42 CFR Part 2, with a paired appeals module, on any EHR.
Adentris as a Solventum alternative for behavioral health and SUD
If you are evaluating Solventum for a behavioral health or SUD program, the question is specialty fit. An established coding and CDI platform built for acute hospitals is valuable at that scale, 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, which makes it the purpose-built choice for behavioral health and SUD.
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
For acute inpatient coding and CDI at scale, Solventum is a strong fit. For a behavioral health or SUD program, Adentris brings the specialty depth, ASAM, medical necessity, and 42 CFR Part 2, drafts the fix before submission, and pairs it with appeals, on any EHR.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Adentris and Solventum?
Solventum, formerly 3M Health Information Systems, offers 360 Encompass for computer-assisted coding, CDI, and revenue integrity, used by large hospitals. Adentris is a revenue integrity and documentation compliance layer purpose-built for behavioral health and SUD, with ASAM and 42 CFR Part 2 rules and an appeals module, running on any EHR. The main difference is setting and specialty depth: acute inpatient coding and CDI versus behavioral health and SUD.
Can Adentris and Solventum be used together?
Yes. They solve different halves of the problem, so a program can use Solventum to run coding and CDI 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 Solventum.
Is Adentris a good alternative to Solventum?
For programs whose problem is denials and audit exposure rather than acute coding and CDI, yes. 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. Solventum is strong for established computer-assisted coding and CDI for hospitals. Programs that want SUD-specific compliance depth and denials support often lean Adentris.
