It ensures that providers are reimbursed for their services and that patients receive appropriate care. However, inadequate documentation can have severe repercussions for provider groups, including prepayment reviews, insurance clawbacks (which can destabilize finances), misdiagnoses, inadequate treatment, and poor patient outcomes.

This experience revealed a critical flaw in the healthcare system: documentation oversights can trigger a cascade of negative consequences, impacting both patients and providers. Brellium was founded to address this systemic failure by providing providers with tools to deliver measurement-based, clinically accurate, and compliant care, ultimately leading to better and faster patient recovery.Brellium’s AI-Powered Solution: Proactive and Comprehensive ComplianceBrellium offers an AI-powered clinical compliance platform designed to ensure that every patient visit meets payor and clinical quality standards while minimizing the manual workload for clinical teams.
