Medical Decision Logic (MDLogix)

What Medical Decision Logic (MDLogix) does

Medical Decision Logic (MDLogix), founded in 1997 in Baltimore, Maryland, develops and operates bhworks, a web-based SaaS platform purpose-built for K-12 school behavioral and mental health management. The platform consolidates 14 functional modules — evidence-based screening (anchored by the proprietary Behavioral Health Screen covering 16 risk domains), electronic consent, plans of care, referral and services tracking, telehealth, attendance referral, Medicaid billing integration, real-time data and reporting, and school nursing workflows — into a single HIPAA- and FERPA-compliant system that integrates via HL7 FHIR APIs and SAML/JWT/Smart-on-FHIR SSO with district EHRs, Student Information Systems, and billing platforms.

The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting school districts, Intermediate School Districts (ISDs), and state education and health agencies, with significant procurement influenced by federal grant programs (SAMHSA Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention, CMS, disaster-relief funding) and state Medicaid-expansion pathways for school-based services. Pricing is quote-based and structured as annual per-district or per-student subscriptions. Customers include Michigan's Department of Education (statewide, 74% of 56 ISDs), Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services (500+ schools, 100,000+ youth screened), the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Solano County Office of Education (California, 64,000 students), Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Einstein Medical Center — collectively spanning 18 U.S. states.

MDLogix monetizes through recurring SaaS subscriptions, with revenue augmented by the value of embedded Medicaid-billing integration (delivered via state-specific billing-vendor partnerships) and by sales velocity generated through the Behavioral Health Learning Collaborative (BHLC), a community of practice co-hosted with academic partners Drexel University and Thomas Jefferson University that functions as both demand-generation and stickiness infrastructure. The company is privately held, founder-influenced (Allen Tien serves as President & CSO; Aaditya Goswami as CEO), and operates with a 51–100 employee base.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription Licenses: MDLogix operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, offering bhworks on a subscription basis to K-12 schools, school districts, and state education agencies. Pricing is likely annual/school-year based, with multiple tiers for districts vs. statewide deployments. Revenue is derived from seat/device-based or site-based licensing.
2. Grant-Funded Procurement: A significant portion of adoption is funded through federal grants (SAMHSA Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention Grants, CMS-funded projects, federal disaster relief grants) and state Medicaid expansion programs. MDLogix actively positions bhworks within grant proposals submitted by state agency partners and school districts.
3. Medicaid Billing Integration Revenue: The platform enables local educational agencies (LEAs) to bill Medicaid for behavioral health services rendered to students. MDLogix partners with billing vendors in multiple states for Medicaid eligibility verification and billing functionality, generating indirect revenue through increased client value and retention.

Direct peers

• Gaggle: Gaggle provides K-12 student safety and mental health monitoring by scanning school communication channels for signs of self-harm or harm to others - a direct peer in school-based behavioral health monitoring that targets the same district and state education buyers as bhworks.
• Qualifacts: Qualifacts is a behavioral health software company offering EHR and care coordination platforms (CareLogic, Credible, Exym) that compete for behavioral health screening, documentation, and referral workflow contracts with community mental health clinics and state agencies that overlap with MDLogix's healthcare provider segment.
• Streamline Healthcare Solutions: Streamline Healthcare Solutions provides an EHR and practice management platform purpose-built for behavioral health and human services agencies, overlapping with MDLogix's referrals, care coordination, and behavioral health documentation workflows across community providers.
• RethinkEd: RethinkEd provides K-12 behavioral health, SEL, and MTSS software to school districts, including evidence-based screening, intervention tracking, and professional development - a direct competitor in the same K-12 behavioral health software category as bhworks.
