Case Study: Mount Diablo Unified School District Counseling Services saves time and streamlines billing with Valant Behavioral Health EHR

Mount Diablo Unified School District saves 80+ hours per month with Valant

Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) Counseling Services faced significant inefficiencies using a paper-based system for clinical documentation and billing. This process led to lost reimbursement, late payments, and clinicians spending excessive time on administrative tasks, draining their energy from student care. To solve this, MDUSD partnered with Valant to implement its Behavioral Health EHR.

Valant collaborated closely with MDUSD to create customized forms and automated reporting within the EHR. This solution streamlined documentation and billing, particularly through an automated report that pulls required data for Medi-Cal. The results were substantial time savings: billers saved 5-10 hours monthly, administrative staff saved 63 hours on productivity reports, and each clinician reclaimed about 15 hours per month. Valant's system improved accuracy, reduced stress, and allowed clinicians to focus more on student services.
