FOR CALIFORNIA CALAIM COMMUNITY SUPPORTS & ECM PROVIDERS

Your Staff Shouldn't Need 5 Systems To Deliver One Community Support Service

Most Community Supports providers manage documentation, authorizations, signatures, unit tracking, and billing across spreadsheets, PDFs, email chains, and disconnected software.

CareAutomate brings everything into one platform — so every visit, authorization, signature, unit, stay, and billing record stays connected from intake through reimbursement.

Operational Drag

What Running Community Supports On Spreadsheets Is Really Costing Your Team

Every week Community Supports providers lose valuable staff time to manual administration. When documentation, units, signatures, and billing live in separate systems, mistakes become expensive and audit risks rise.

Every week Community Supports providers lose valuable staff time to:

Tracking authorizations manually
Monitoring remaining units in spreadsheets
Chasing signatures after services
Re-entering documentation for billing
Reconciling notes, authorizations, and invoices
Preparing records for health plan audits

CareAutomate keeps everything in one member record. When documentation, units, signatures, and billing live in different systems, mistakes become expensive.

Operational Readiness

How Billing-Ready Is Your Community Supports Program?

Most Community Supports providers believe they're audit-ready and billing-ready. Many discover critical gaps in documentation, authorization tracking, utilization management, Transitional Rent workflows, and billing preparation.

Our Mission

Why We Built CareAutomate

California's Community Supports programs introduced entirely new operational challenges. Organizations suddenly needed to manage authorizations, documentation, signatures, utilization tracking, and billing while continuing to deliver exceptional care.

Most providers were forced to rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, email chains, and generic healthcare software that wasn't designed for Community Supports workflows.

We believed providers deserved something better.

CareAutomate was built specifically for California Community Supports providers—streamlining intake, documentation, authorizations, utilization tracking, billing, and reporting into one connected platform.

Every workflow we build has one purpose: reducing administrative burden so staff can spend more time helping members—not managing paperwork.

Why Community Supports Providers Switch To CareAutomate

Most providers start with disconnected tools, but eventually run into the same friction points that delay billing and lead to compliance issues.

Most providers start with:

  • spreadsheets
  • PDFs
  • Google Forms
  • Shared drives
  • generic case management software

Eventually, managing multiple tools introduces data siloing, lost units, missing signatures, and billing reconciliation delays.

Documentation Lives In One Place

Authorizations live somewhere else. CareAutomate links both to the member record.

Billing Requires Duplicate Entry

Staff document services twice in old systems. With CareAutomate, they document once and it’s billing-ready.

Signatures Become A Bottleneck

Paper forms and missing signatures delay submissions. Electronic signatures are captured at point of service.

Managers Lack Visibility

No easy way to see utilization or authorization status. Get real-time utilization stats instantly.

Reporting Takes Too Long

Preparing reports becomes a monthly project. CareAutomate keeps compliance and reporting automated.

CareAutomate brings everything together.

Caseload tracking, member authorizations, e-signatures, per-diem stays, and direct-to-plan billing in a single secure environment.

Community Supports Coverage

Every Community Support,and exactly where we fit.

Fully supported and built end-to-end for the services below. Documentation, authorizations, signatures, unit tracking, stay tracking, and billing all live in one workflow.

The Platform

Your signed visit note does the work. Everything else follows.

No more reconciling an intake packet to a notes doc to a units spreadsheet to a signature app to a billing portal. In CareAutomate the member's record runs the whole lifecycle — intake and onboarding, every visit, the units or stay, the proof, and the claim or invoice all live in one place, built from your own forms and your signed notes.

01

Member Intake & Onboarding

Build your own intake, consent, release-of-information, assessment, and onboarding forms with a drag-and-drop builder. Staff and members can complete and e-sign forms directly in the platform, and everything flows into the member record automatically.

02

Visit Note Documentation

Staff document any supported Community Support — plus ECM — from their phone. Voice-to-text, offline-capable, and automatically tied to the correct member record.

Real-Time Visit Capture

Staff clock visits from the field with automatic timestamps and location verification tied to the member record. Live proof the visit happened, when and where, without end-of-day reconstruction.

04

Real-Time Unit & Stay Tracking

Each visit draws down authorized units in real time, while facility and bed-based services track per-diem stays. Staff always know what's left before scheduling and over-authorizations are flagged automatically.

Scheduling Tied to Authorizations

Schedule member visits and staff caseloads in a calendar that understands remaining authorized units. Schedule confidently without creating visits that can't be billed.

06

Electronic Signatures with Timestamps

Members sign directly on the device at the point of service. Every signature is time-stamped, linked to the visit, and stored permanently on the member's record.

07

Note → Claim or Invoice

A signed, checked note becomes a submission-ready record in the format your plan accepts — 837P, 837I, CMS-1500, or plan-specific invoice forms. Correct codes and modifiers are applied automatically.

Unit Billing & Expense Claims

Most systems only support unit billing. CareAutomate handles both unit-based services and itemized expense claims for deposits, transitional rent, and transition costs from the same platform.

09

Services, Codes & Plan Configuration

Each member is configured to the correct Community Support, HCPCS code, modifier, and Medi-Cal plan rules. Because modifiers define the service, CareAutomate applies the right configuration automatically.

ECM + Community Supports

ECM and Community Supports are different benefits.We run both in one record.

Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is whole-person care coordination — care plans, populations of focus, and monthly per-member billing. It's a separate benefit from Community Supports, but the same organizations often deliver both.

Transitional Rent also requires ECM enrollment. Instead of managing multiple systems, CareAutomate keeps a member's ECM care plan and Community Supports services together in one record, so multi-program and behavioral health providers can run one platform instead of three.

The Insight

"Accepted" is not "paid."
CareAutomate closes that gap.

When a plan's portal accepts your file, it only means the format was valid — not that you'll be paid. Payment needs the right code and modifier, an active authorization, units inside the cap, and a note that backs it all up.

Because every CareAutomate record is built from a signed, checked, correctly-coded note, those are in place before it leaves your hands — so you submit clean the first time and rework fewer denials.

CareAutomate bridges the gap

Mandatory as of January 1,2026

Transitional Rent is here. Bill it cleanly from day one.

Transitional Rent is now mandatory for every Medi-Cal managed care plan — up to six months of rental assistance for members with significant behavioral health needs experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and it requires ECM enrollment. CareAutomate ships pre-configured for Transitional Rent, with the payment/disbursement tracking it needs, next to Navigation, Tenancy & Sustaining, and Deposits.

Why Generic Software Falls Short

Most case management or healthcare EHR platforms stop at documentation. CareAutomate is built specifically around the unique billing and tracking rules of California Community Supports.

Generic Healthcare/Case Management

  • Built for Home Health, Medical, or Behavioral Practices
  • Stops at documentation — no unit tracking
  • Requires duplicate entry for Medi-Cal billing
  • No support for itemized Housing Deposits or Transitional Rent tracking
  • Licensing priced per seat — gets expensive as staff scales

CareAutomate

  • Built specifically for California CalAIM workflows
  • Connects documentation, authorizations, and billing in one flow
  • Auto-generates clean 837P, 837I, or plan-specific invoices
  • Itemized per-diem stay and expense claim tracking built-in
  • Priced around active members with unlimited staff users
