SessionoteHIPAA-Compliant AI Scribe for Mental Health
Mental health data is some of the most protected information there is. Sessionote is built to HIPAA standards, with the safeguards and the awareness the field actually requires.
The concrete safeguards
Protected health information in Sessionote is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS, with KMS-managed keys, and every account is protected by two-factor authentication. A Business Associate Agreement is signed with every practice during onboarding, because any scribe that processes PHI is a business associate under HIPAA and a BAA should be in place before any audio is recorded. Access is invite-based and reviewed, keeping anonymous sign-ups away from a system that touches PHI.
Built with mental health's stricter rules in mind
Mental health records carry protections beyond standard PHI. HIPAA gives psychotherapy notes a separate, stricter shield, and substance use records fall under their own federal rule, 42 CFR Part 2. Sessionote is designed around producing a billable progress note rather than dumping raw session content into the chart, which respects the line those rules draw.
Your data stays yours
Notes are retained for 30 days so you can revisit recent sessions, then removed, and you can export any note to Word or PDF to keep your own copy. The goal is a short, controlled data footprint, not a permanent archive of your sessions sitting on someone else's servers.
Unlimited notes, one flat price
Sessionote is $79 per provider per month with unlimited notes. No tiers, no per-note fees, no paying more to use it fully. Many AI scribes do the opposite: a low entry price that caps how many notes you can write, with unlimited use locked behind a plan two to four times more expensive.
| Plan | Starting price | Notes included |
|---|---|---|
| Sessionote | $79/mo, flat | Unlimited, every plan |
| Typical tiered scribe | $39/mo to start | Entry plan capped (often around 40/mo); unlimited runs $119+ |
| Enterprise tools | $400–$700+/mo | Unlimited, but built for large systems with a sales process |
Your busiest month costs the same as your slowest. You never ration notes or watch a counter.
