Aera captures the visit ambiently and builds the record in real time, with the patient’s history, plan of care and payer requirements already in context. The therapist reviews and signs instead of writing, so documentation that used to take 15 to 20 minutes after each session becomes a quick review. ### Do I start each visit from a blank chart? No. The referral, surgical notes, prior visits, goals, outcomes and authorization status are assembled and summarized before you walk in, so the first minutes of the visit go to the patient, not to catching up. ### Does Aera check compliance and coding before I sign? Yes. Compliance and coding are checked as the note is written, in your own workflow, so documentation gaps, coding mismatches and record conflicts are corrected before you sign instead of becoming denials weeks later. ### Does Aera sign notes for me? No. Aera never signs a clinical note. It drafts and checks the note; only the licensed clinician reviews and signs.
