Kipu Health

What Kipu Health does

Kipu Health, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, is a privately held behavioral health technology vendor that provides an integrated AI-native cloud platform spanning customer relationship management (Kipu CRM), electronic medical records (Kipu EMR), revenue cycle management (Kipu RCM), and governance, risk, and compliance (Kipu GRC). The platform is purpose-built for behavioral health providers, with particular depth in substance abuse treatment, mental health, eating disorder, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) settings, and is anchored by Kipu Helix, launched in January 2026 as the company's intelligent operating system that consolidates patient outreach, care delivery, clinical documentation, RCM, compliance, and analytics on a single AI-powered data model. The product surface includes 41 APIs, HL7-compliant data exchange, ~1 million daily messages with non-Kipu systems, ONC Health IT V15 certification (Jan 20, 2026), HITRUST CSF certification, EU-U.S./UK/Swiss Data Privacy Framework certifications, and HIPAA-compliant handling of protected health information, including 42 CFR Part 2 workflows.

Kipu monetizes primarily through quote-based SaaS subscriptions billed monthly or annually, supplemented by implementation and onboarding services, compliance consulting, and usage-based fees for population-level EHI exports. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise and mid-market direct motion, supported by inside sales, certified partner resellers, an API/developer ecosystem, and an annual customer conference (Elevate 2026 in Carlsbad, CA). The company has executed three acquisitions — Avea (September 2021, now Kipu RCM), Hatch Compliance (July/September 2024, now Kipu GRC), and Team Recovery Technologies (April 16, 2026) — to expand capabilities, and has raised venture capital including a $19.5M round in November 2019 and a TCV-led Series D in June 2021. Kipu serves over 6,000 facilities and 150,000 users across the United States, powering more than 5 million episodes of care annually, processing ~1.5 million claims per year with up to 99% Perfect Pass rate, and admitting over 100,000 patients annually through Kipu CRM. Named customers span enterprise operators (Banyan Treatment Centers, Monte Nido & Affiliates, Center for Family Services) to mid-market and SMB providers.

Core offering

Kipu Health provides an integrated AI-native cloud platform purpose-built for behavioral healthcare, combining CRM (admissions and alumni management), EMR (clinical documentation), RCM (revenue cycle management), and GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) into a single intelligent operating system branded Kipu Helix. The platform serves over 6,000 behavioral health facilities and 150,000 users, powering more than 5 million episodes of care annually across substance abuse treatment, mental health, eating disorder, and medication-assisted treatment providers.

Product overview

Kipu Health is a single integrated behavioral healthcare technology platform (the "first intelligent operating system for behavioral health," branded Kipu Helix) that combines several core products into a unified AI-native cloud-based solution. Its portfolio consists of five core product modules: Kipu CRM (customer relationship management and admissions), Kipu EMR (electronic medical records and clinical documentation), Kipu RCM (revenue cycle management, powered by the 2021 acquisition of Avea), Kipu GRC (governance, risk, and compliance, derived from the 2024 acquisition of Hatch Compliance), and Kipu Intelligence (KIP), an AI-powered add-on layer for clinical documentation and insights. Built on top of these modules is Kipu Helix, the 2026-launched intelligent operating system that integrates patient outreach, care delivery, clinical documentation, revenue cycle management, compliance workflows, and analytics into a single AI-powered data model. The platform also includes the Team Recovery Technologies patient engagement and alumni recovery solution (acquired April 2026), a specialty MAT solution for opioid treatment programs (launched November 2024), a public API with 41 endpoints supporting HL7-compliant data exchange, and an integrations marketplace with 16+ named partners. The platform serves over 6,000 facilities, 150,000 users, and powers more than 5 million episodes of care annually across the U.S. behavioral health ecosystem.
