Provider Panacea (providerpanacea.com) is a HIPPA compliant Practice Management System for small group or solo mental health therapists. It supports appointment scheduling, appointment notes, and patient billing with Stripe. It uses state-of-the-art security features including Passkey authentication, strict data access policies at both the application and data layers, and multiple levels of encryption. There is also an integrated Project Management dashboard where users can direct the development of the platform by funding features or tasks that are valuable to them.
The first feature I worked on was health insurance claims management, looking into both direct integrations with health insurance companies like Harvard Pilgrim Health Plan and clearinghouse services such as Availity, Office Ally, claim.MD and Eligible. After evaluating the competitive landscape and the costs of implementing health insurance claims management for a bootstrapped solo founder, I decided that Sessions Health, a new Practice Management System for Mental Health providers, had implemented the same features, technology, and partners as Provider Panacea with the addition of health insurance claims management, (expensive) compliance certifications, and robust customer support systems and therefore was in a better position to succeed than Provider Panacea. I decided in June 2025 to stop working on Provider Panacea, and recommend any mental health providers who are seeking software solutions to explore Sessions at https://www.sessionshealth.com
