Built Medicaid-first, from visit to remittance.
A true native mobile app
Field staff get a real iOS and Android app with offline visit capture and GPS EVV - not a dated mobile add-on bolted onto a documentation suite.
Modern UI, fewer clicks
Therap reviewers describe a clunky, dated interface and a lot of clicking and scrolling to finish a note. Statewise is a modern, AI-native system built to take clicks out of everyday documentation.
EVV built in, not a module
GPS EVV is part of the core system and submits to your state's aggregator - not a separate licensed module to add on and reconcile.
AI scrubbing straight to the 835
Claims are checked against per-state Medicaid rules before submission and reconciled on remittance, which is how Statewise providers reach 99.6% clean-claim acceptance.
Forms in a week, changes in days
New custom forms in about a week and state-rule changes shipped in days, not months. Statewise keeps your documentation and billing current as Medicaid rules move.
