ASAM dimensions are the intake, not an afterthought
Six dimensions have to justify level of care. A psych SOAP with ‘uses alcohol’ does not get PHP authorized.

Addiction Medicine
An AI medical scribe built for addiction medicine
ASAM levels, COWS/CIWA, and MAT visits — biopsychosocial intakes and PHP/IOP medical-necessity letters drafted from the encounter.
The problem
What slows addiction medicine down
Withdrawal scales change the plan hour to hour
COWS and CIWA scores, last use, and precipitated-withdrawal risk have to be in the note if MAT dosing is going to be defensible.
Higher-level-of-care letters are utilization review
Why IOP failed, what PHP will treat, and discharge criteria have to be explicit. Thin notes get 24-hour denials.
