Clearpath was founded on one simple realization: the biggest challenges in behavioral healthcare aren’t billing problems—they’re operational problems.
Long before launching Clearpath, we spent years building treatment organizations from every angle. Michael led admissions, business development, executive leadership, and call center operations, while Austyn led revenue cycle management, payer contracting, compliance, and operational strategy. Working together across 38 states, countless payer relationships, and every level of care, we learned that every part of an organization—from marketing and admissions to documentation, licensing, staffing, and reimbursement—is connected.
One night, it clicked.
Instead of offering another billing company, we could build the partner we always wished existed.
Today, Clearpath helps organizations do far more than submit claims. We guide providers through licensing, Medicaid enrollment, payer contracting, accreditation, survey preparation, admissions workflow design, EMR configuration, AI automation, software integrations, documentation templates, operational optimization, and complete revenue cycle management, all under one roof.
Austyn’s background in Chemical Engineering brings a systems-based approach that is rare in healthcare. By combining workflow engineering, predictive analytics, automation, and AI with years of executive leadership in behavioral health, she designs solutions that improve efficiency, maximize reimbursement, and eliminate operational bottlenecks before they happen. Her clinical foundation is equally unique, having received advanced ASAM Levels of Care training directly from one of the co-authors of the ASAM Criteria.
AI-Powered Revenue Cycle Management
At ClearPath, we believe the future of revenue cycle management is the combination of advanced technology and experienced human expertise. Under Austyn Sanchez’s leadership, ClearPath is actively integrating artificial intelligence and intelligent automation throughout the billing process to increase speed, accuracy, and visibility while allowing our team to focus their expertise where it matters most. Our AI initiatives are designed to streamline traditionally labor-intensive processes such as insurance verification, payment and remittance posting, accounts receivable analysis, and collections prioritization. By using technology to identify patterns, surface discrepancies, organize work queues, and accelerate repetitive administrative tasks, our team can respond faster and devote more time to complex claims, payer issues, denials, and revenue opportunities that require human judgment. AI does not replace the ClearPath team—it makes our team more powerful. The result is a smarter, faster, more proactive revenue cycle built to help our clients collect the revenue they have earned.
What truly sets Clearpath apart isn’t our titles; it’s our experience solving the exact problems our clients face every day.
Whether you’re opening your first facility or expanding across multiple states, we’ve likely been where you are. We’ve built programs from the ground up, prepared organizations for accreditation, optimized admissions departments, negotiated payer contracts, reduced denial rates to industry-leading levels, and created scalable systems that support healthy payer mixes, strong staff morale, sustained census growth, and long-term financial success.
Our philosophy is simple: meet every client where they are. We believe exceptional patient care and exceptional financial performance should never compete, they should strengthen one another. That’s the standard we built Clearpath on, and it’s the standard we bring to every organization we serve.
