CarePilot

CarePilot sells AI documentation, coding and order drafting to independent and community practices that run athenahealth. During the visit it writes the note into athenaOne's own SOAP fields, suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes, and pends labs, imaging, referrals and prescriptions in the order queue for the clinician to sign. A chart assistant called Amelia answers questions with the patient's record already loaded, and a separate inbox product triages results, refills and messages.

The company frames this as the work that comes after the note. athenahealth now includes its own ambient scribe, athenaAmbient, in athenaOne at no additional cost, and CarePilot argues it runs alongside that scribe rather than against it. More than 400 practices use CarePilot by its own count, including Astrana Health, Community Hospital Corporation and Independent Physicians of Wisconsin, and Privia Health has approved it for its care centers.

CarePilot also supports DrChrono. EverCommerce chose it as the AI partner behind EverHealth Scribe, the ambient scribe launched for DrChrono practices in March 2026, so a DrChrono practice can reach the same intelligence directly or through its EHR vendor.

DocuCare Inc. does business as CarePilot from Kansas City, Missouri. It was founded in 2023 and raised a $2.5 million seed round led by Mucker Capital in 2025.

Capability Axes

An AI Health Index grade measures what a buyer can verify from public sources on the date shown. It is not a rating of how good the product is. A vendor can build an excellent system and grade low on an axis because it publishes nothing an outsider can check. How grades read

AI Capability
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the model and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

CarePilot sells four model driven products on top of the practice's existing record system. Scribe turns the visit conversation into a structured note, Coder proposes diagnosis and procedure codes from what was said and done, Script turns spoken plans into pended orders, and Amelia answers questions against the loaded chart. The practice already runs athenaOne as its record, and CarePilot adds no record of its own. EverCommerce chose it in 2026 as the AI partner behind EverHealth Scribe for DrChrono practices rather than build that layer itself.

BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelThe oversight structure is described and one part is missing, commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Every output arrives as a draft. Notes, codes and orders open for the clinician to edit or discard, orders wait pended in the athenaOne queue until signed, and Amelia is described as drafting but never signing. In the company's own words, nothing reaches the chart without a clinician's signature. The inbox product follows the same pattern: it triages results, refills and messages, and each item ends at the clinician's sign off.

What is left open is the edge of the system's judgment. There is no stated point at which a draft is marked as low confidence, no description of how the inbox decides what is urgent, and no account of what happens to a rejected draft beyond the clinician's correction feeding calibration.

BB on Model and Technology TransparencyThe approach or the suppliers are named without the version and update discipline behind them. Naming a supplier is the entry to this band both here and on Model Supply Chain Disclosure, which ask different questions of the same disclosure: who receives the data, and what produces the output.
Vendor Published

The engines are named even if the models are not. CarePilot runs on large language models from OpenAI, used through Microsoft Azure, and from Anthropic, according to its security page, and its trust portal lists Deepgram, a speech recognition provider, among its subprocessors. Startland News reported in January 2026 that the company processed 100 billion OpenAI tokens in 2025.

Which models sit behind Scribe, Coder and Script, which versions are in use and how a change reaches customers are not described, so a practice cannot tell when the system drafting its notes has changed. There is no model card or account of how the work is divided between the speech and language models.

BB on Model Supply Chain DisclosureSubstantial partial disclosure, or a chain that is structurally short: an in house build, a cleared model that cannot be quietly swapped, or a deployment where the transfer does not occur at all. Naming the model provider exits the band below into this one; the axis rises from here on the completeness of the party list and on the terms that govern data once it arrives.
Vendor Published

Most of the chain is named. CarePilot's security page lists OpenAI, used through Microsoft Azure, and Anthropic as its model providers, with AWS as the host, and states that each model provider works under a business associate agreement, keeps nothing and trains on nothing.

The trust portal keeps a separate subprocessor list: AWS, Azure, Deepgram for speech recognition, Google Workspace and Intercom. It does not name OpenAI or Anthropic, and the security page does not name Deepgram, so neither list is complete on its own. Read together they give a practice every party the company acknowledges and the terms that govern patient data once it reaches the model layer.

CC on Clinical and Operational EvidenceNamed customers, or vendor reported percentages with no method, denominator or reference standard. Scale of use is recorded here and is not treated as evidence of benefit.
Vendor Published

The headline figures come from CarePilot's own customer base: 78 minutes a day returned to each provider, 98 percent ICD-10 accuracy during the visit, a 32 percent rise in same day claim submissions and 65 percent fewer manual administrative tasks. The company says these are measured across its customer practices, with no period, sample, method or definition of accuracy attached.

The customer list is more concrete. Twenty organizations are named, among them Astrana Health, Community Hospital Corporation, Prism Health North Texas and TrustCare Health, which piloted in September 2025 and expanded five times over the next seven months. Clinician testimonials describe documentation falling from ten minutes a visit to one or two.

When EverCommerce launched EverHealth Scribe in March 2026 it reported eight minutes saved per visit, attributed to CarePilot data, alongside a 32 percent rise in same day claim submissions. No study or outside evaluation sits behind any of these numbers.

BB on AI Safety and PHI StewardshipCategorical commitments are published, such as no training on customer data, without the retention schedule behind them.
Vendor Published

Two commitments define how CarePilot handles patient data. Visit audio is deleted within 24 hours, and CarePilot states that it never uses customer health data to train or improve AI models, with its model providers bound to keep nothing and train on nothing. Each practice sets its own note retention and can request complete deletion at any time.

The edges are less clear. Transcripts have no stated retention window and de identification is not addressed. The FAQ says clinician corrections feed calibration without saying what is calibrated, and DrChrono's transparency note for EverHealth Scribe says de identified data may be used to improve the system, a use CarePilot's own pages neither confirm nor rule out. Guardrails against fabricated content, and how a safety event would be handled, are not described.

Regulatory and Compliance
BB on HIPAA and BAA PostureBusiness associate status is stated and supported by a substantive privacy document, with the agreement or its scope not fully published. For a vendor outside the United States, an equivalent regime documented to this depth grades here. A vendor whose product does not process protected health information grades here too when it says so plainly and explains the scope, with a service privacy document behind it: stating a position a buyer can rely on is the posture this axis grades, and the band above is closed to it because there is no agreement to publish.
Vendor Published

CarePilot acts as a business associate and signs an agreement with every customer before the first recorded visit, as well as with every subprocessor that touches patient data, model providers included. Its privacy policy places protected health information under that agreement and a separate master subscription agreement, and the security page describes how the data is encrypted, hosted, retained and deleted.

The agreement itself cannot be read before contracting, so its handling of subcontractors, breach timelines and the return of data at the end of a subscription can only be checked once a practice has a copy. The website terms carry generic language saying the services are not tailored to industry regulations; those terms cover only the marketing site, and the platform runs under the separate agreements.

BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification is named in the vendor own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise. A recognized certification here is an audit of how the vendor operates security, such as SOC 2, HITRUST or ISO/IEC 27001. A certification has a scope and a clock, and both are part of this grade. A certification the vendor attaches to its data center, hosting facility or cloud provider, rather than presenting as its own, is the host's and does not count here.
Vendor Published

CarePilot holds a SOC 2 Type II report from Prescient Assurance covering May to August 2025. Its trust portal lists the report alongside a cyber insurance document, and the full report is released under a nondisclosure agreement on request. The covered period ended in August 2025, and the company says a broader audit is already planned.

Around the report sit an annual penetration test by an outside firm, weekly automated vulnerability scans, required MFA for every user, SAML single sign on for practices with a central identity provider, and removal of access for departing staff within 24 hours. One detail does not line up: the trust portal says company policies are still being written with outside experts, while the security page describes more than 30 policies managed in Drata and reviewed each year.

CC on FDA and Regulatory StatusNo device claim is made and the product is scoped accordingly. Most administrative and operational products sit here and are not penalized for it, because this axis grades the appropriateness of the positioning rather than possession of a clearance.
Vendor Published

Documentation, coding and order drafting for clinicians who sign everything is how CarePilot presents its work, and none of the products is described as diagnosing or recommending treatment. No device claim is made.

What the company does not publish is a statement of intended purpose. The nearest one belongs to DrChrono: its transparency note for EverHealth Scribe scopes that product to outpatient documentation and says it does not diagnose, treat or recommend care. CarePilot has since moved past documentation. Script drafts prescriptions, labs, imaging and referrals from the conversation, and Amelia answers clinical questions against the chart, and nothing on CarePilot's own pages says where those features sit or what they must not be used for.

BB on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureA governance framework with named process behind it, such as certification to an artificial intelligence management standard, or material written for a customer own review committee to evaluate the product with. A framework covering the vendor whole portfolio counts when its scope reaches this product; what it cannot supply is the product specific evaluation the band above asks for. Published results within the one group where the performance of this product is most at risk also sit here: evaluation on the question this axis asks, short of the comparison across groups the band above requires. A medical device clearance or certification, and the quality system behind it, does not reach this band on its own; it is graded under regulatory status. A regulator reviewed plan governing how the model may change does reach it.
Third Party Estimated

The evaluation material comes from the distribution side. DrChrono's published AI transparency note for EverHealth Scribe, which names CarePilot as the builder, says the engine is assessed on accents alongside provider feedback, note completeness and usage, that monitoring runs continuously, and that a detected disparity leads to changes in prompts, pipeline, tooling and model tuning. It also lists audio quality, overlapping speech, accents and medical jargon as conditions that degrade output.

The commitment arrives without results: no groups tested, no figures by accent and no definition of what counts as a disparity. CarePilot's own pages are silent on evaluation by group, including for the 54 languages it says it transcribes.

CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms exist that let someone challenge an output, such as audit trails, source traceability or review before commit, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the harmed party.
Vendor Published

The protection CarePilot offers against a wrong output is the review step. The clinician edits or discards each draft before signing, and the company describes that as the design rather than the exception, with corrections feeding back into calibration.

Nothing stands behind the output itself. The 98 percent coding accuracy figure comes without a method or denominator, and the subscription agreement that would carry any warranty or indemnity is not public. The website terms, which govern only the marketing site, cap liability at $100 and run indemnity from the user to the company. A patient who finds an error in a note corrects it through the practice; there is no route to CarePilot directly.

Integration and Deployment
AA on EHR and Interoperability DepthNamed bidirectional integrations with major record systems, verifiable in marketplace listings or integration documentation, with evidence the connection runs in production.
Vendor Published

The athenaOne connection runs both ways at field level. CarePilot reads the schedule, demographics, problem list, medications, chart history, provider lists and the fee schedule with payer rules, and writes back discrete SOAP fields, problem list changes, ICD-10 and CPT codes, and orders into the right athenaOne queue for signature. It is listed on the athenahealth Marketplace with a five star rating across more than 55 reviews, and the company reports more than 400 practices charting on it.

DrChrono is the second record system, reached through its own marketplace listing with each provider authorizing access using DrChrono credentials, and the same engine sits inside DrChrono's EverHealth Scribe. No other system is supported, which the company presents as a deliberate choice to go deep on athenahealth rather than chase every EHR.

BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyOptions and residency are stated with isolation or the processing path left open.
Vendor Published

Hosting is cloud only, on AWS across four United States regions, with a commitment that patient data is processed and stored only in the United States. Data at rest is encrypted with AES 256 through AWS key management, data in transit with TLS 1.2 or later, and every database holding patient data is backed up daily with recovery tested.

The company also publishes a 99.9 percent monthly uptime commitment and disaster recovery plans tested each year. How one practice's data is kept apart from another's is not described.

Commercial
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and the posture is discoverable: a buyer can establish how the product is sold and what drives the cost before contacting the vendor. Most of the index sits here.
Vendor Published

A practice can learn how CarePilot charges before calling, but not what it charges. The core platform, covering Scribe, Coder and Script, is one price per provider per month, set by practice size and visit volume. The inbox product is sold separately per seat, and Amelia usage is included, with add on credits for heavy use.

There are no implementation, per patient or per note fees. A two week free trial covers the full platform, billing starts only when the practice decides to roll out, and a practice that walks away keeps its data. The figure itself arrives in a quote, and Dictate appears in the product list with no word on whether the provider price covers it.

BB on Setting and Specialty CoverageCoverage is named with validation behind part of it.
Vendor Published

Ambulatory practices on athenaOne are the home market, with DrChrono as the second record system. The listed specialties are family medicine, primary care and internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics and urgent care, and the named customers reach further: neurology, dermatology, pain and spine, telehealth primary care, house calls, and rural and community hospitals through Community Hospital Corporation, including swing bed care.

Those named practices show the product running in several of the settings it claims. The language claim has less behind it. The company says it transcribes visits in 54 languages and translates patient instructions, and lists the languages, but names no customer using them and publishes nothing on how well the notes hold up outside English.
