Be present for the conversation.We'll help with the documentation.
Zera Scribe keeps you focused on your patient while it turns psychiatric evaluations, medication-management visits and psychotherapy into clear, structured notes — and before you sign, it helps you catch the details that are easy to miss.

Mood improved since sertraline increase; sleeping better. PHQ-9 11 (prior 16). Denies SI. CBT focused on behavioral activation.
Major depressive disorder, improving. Engaged and responsive to interventions.
Continue sertraline 100 mg. Follow up in 4 weeks.
Psychotherapy time isn't documented separately from medication management.
Why it matters: Psychotherapy add-on codes are billed by time, documented separately from the E/M visit.
Your attention is your most valuable clinical tool.
In psychiatry, every conversation matters — the pauses, the shifts in mood, the details patients share when they feel heard. But between evaluations, medication adjustments, psychotherapy, risk assessments and treatment plans, documentation stretches well past the visit.
Zera captures the encounter when appropriate, or takes your dictation afterward, and organizes the clinical details into the format you prefer. You review the note, change what you need, and decide what becomes part of the record.
Different visits. Different notes. One simpler workflow.
A comprehensive evaluation, clearly organized.
Turn your clinical interview into a structured evaluation: presenting concerns and history of present illness; psychiatric, medical, substance-use and social history; mental status examination; risk assessment; diagnostic assessment; and treatment plan.
Document the clinical decisions, not just the prescription.
Current symptoms and functional changes, medication effectiveness and tolerability, adherence and side effects, your assessment and medication decisions, and the monitoring and follow-up plan — in a concise, clinically meaningful note.
Capture the therapeutic work without interrupting it.
Whether you use CBT, supportive psychotherapy or another approach, Zera organizes the interventions you used, your patient's response, and progress toward treatment goals — including psychotherapy provided during a medication-management visit, with its time documented separately.
Formats: SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP, or your practice's own template. Switch formats without re-recording; every format works with dictation as well as recording.
From conversation to completed note. In three simple steps.
- 1
Record or dictate.
When recording is appropriate and consent requirements are met, capture the encounter with Zera. For a conversation that shouldn't be recorded, dictate your observations and findings after the session instead. You choose, patient by patient — and both give you the same structured note and the same gap checks.
- 2
Zera writes the note.
In SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP or your own template. Review the draft and edit any section until it reflects the care you delivered.
- 3
Catch the gaps, then sign.
Before you sign, Zera checks the note for missing or inconsistent documentation and explains why each gap matters. Make a correction, request Professional Review, or proceed on your clinical judgment. Then copy the note into your EHR.
A well-written note isn't always a complete note.
Most AI scribes stop at a polished note. Before you sign, Zera checks it for details that are missing, unclear or inconsistent — and shows you why each one matters.
Psychotherapy time isn't documented separately from medication management.
Psychotherapy add-on codes are billed by time, documented separately from the E/M visit.
Major depressive disorder is documented without episode or severity.
Episode and severity determine the specific ICD-10 code.
The note describes the intervention but not the patient's response.
The response shows what happened in treatment and informs the next visit.
Guidance, not guesswork.
Zera never invents a missing clinical fact or makes a clinical decision for you. It points to what needs a look, and you decide what belongs in the record. No forced corrections, no automatic sign-off.
Coding guidance, without the complexity.
Zera suggests ICD-10, CPT and E/M codes from what's documented — including the psychotherapy add-on that matches the minutes you recorded. Review them, change them, and decide what to use.
Works with your EHR from day one. No integration project.
Copy completed notes into the EHR you already use — behavioral health systems such as Valant, Osmind, AdvancedMD or SimplePractice, or any other. No IT project is needed for copy and paste.
Keep the EHR you trust. Make the documentation easier.
Structured formats when you need them
Beyond copy-and-paste, Zera can export each note as an HL7, C-CDA or FHIR file, so a compatible EHR interface can bring it in automatically.
Sometimes a second set of eyes makes all the difference.
Send a selected note to a US-based documentation specialist. They review it, identify issues, and return recommendations or questions. You verify the clinical details and sign the final note.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zera built for psychiatric practice?
Yes. Zera documents psychiatric evaluations, medication-management visits and psychotherapy, with formats and documentation checks built for psychiatry.
Can I use Zera without recording my sessions?
Yes. Dictate your findings after the session, and Zera organizes them into your preferred format.
Does Zera support SOAP, DAP, BIRP and GIRP?
Yes — or use your practice's own template.
Can Zera help document psychotherapy add-on services?
Zera highlights missing psychotherapy time and other details relevant to add-on codes such as 90833, 90836 and 90838, and suggests the code that matches the minutes you documented. It doesn't determine that a service was performed or that a code will be paid.
Does Zera create treatment plans?
Zera organizes the treatment goals, interventions and follow-up plans you document into the note. Treatment decisions and clinical accuracy remain yours.
Will Zera record every session?
No. You decide whether to record or dictate each encounter, subject to applicable consent and privacy requirements.
What if Zera misses something?
You can edit the note before signing. Zera's gap checks catch common issues, but they don't replace your review.
What is Professional Review?
An optional service: US-based documentation specialists review the notes you send for documentation issues. $5 per submitted note.
Is Zera suitable for solo practitioners?
Yes — for individual clinicians and group practices alike.
When does Zera Scribe launch?
Soon. Join early access and we'll email you the day it opens, with your 14-day free trial ready to start. No demo or sales call needed.
Can I cancel?
Monthly subscriptions can be canceled before the next renewal. Annual subscriptions run for the prepaid term.
Give your patients your attention. Give yourself your evenings back.
You went into psychiatry to care for people, not to finish notes after hours. Zera handles the documentation, points out what's missing, and leaves the final word to you.
