Joint counts do not survive a generic SOAP
Tender and swollen joint counts, morning stiffness, and PGA are how RA activity is justified. A ‘joints hurt’ line cannot support a biologic.

Rheumatology
An AI medical scribe built for rheumatology
Joint counts, biologic infusions, and DMARD safety — DAS28-style detail and prior-auth appeal letters drafted from the visit, not rebuilt from last year’s note.
The problem
What slows rheumatology down
Infusion visits are a procedure plus a safety check
Pre-infusion vitals, screening labs, and reaction history have to live in the infusion note, not only in the quarterly clinic SOAP.
Biologic appeals are a paper war
Failed MTX, TB screening, and activity scores have to be assembled into an appeal. That packet is rarely finished on the clinic day.
How Augustun fits
Built for the way you actually work
Rheumatology-aware AI Scribe
RA, SLE, gout, and vasculitis visits capture extra-articular findings and activity measures from the conversation.
Infusion notes that stand alone
Biologic infusion procedure notes document drug, dose, vitals, and tolerance separately from the clinic follow-up.
M05/M06, M32 and infusion CPT
Inflammatory arthritis and lupus codes plus infusion administration CPTs are proposed from documented work.
Rheum template library
Infusion notes, MSK ultrasound reports, immunosuppression safety instructions, and biologic appeal letters.

FAQ
Rheumatology — common questions
Does Augustun capture joint counts and disease activity?
Yes. Tender/swollen joints, stiffness, and activity comments from the visit are structured into the rheumatology follow-up note.
Can it document biologic infusions?
Yes. Drug, dose, vitals, and infusion reactions are drafted into a procedure note.
Does it help with DMARD and biologic prior-auth appeals?
Yes. Failed therapies, screening, and activity scores discussed in clinic are drafted into an appeal letter you review.
