Steven Cavan, founder of CriteriaIQ
Who you're buying from
Built by a UR professional, not a software company.

Steven Cavan has worked in behavioral health since 2004 and in utilization review full time since 2012. He built CriteriaIQ RCM after years of watching facilities lose authorizations to documentation gaps and missed review dates. CriteriaIQ is new, so during your trial you work with Steven directly: setup, questions, and feedback go straight to him.

✓ 20+ years in behavioral health ✓ 12+ years in utilization review ✓ BA, Applied Clinical Psychology ✓ MS, Information Assurance and Cybersecurity

"The goal has always been simple: make the documentation reflect the clinical reality."

CriteriaIQ RCM is new. Help shape it.

We're looking for 5 behavioral health facilities or billing companies to use CriteriaIQ RCM in their real UR workflow and tell us what works and what doesn't.

What you get
  • ✓ Today's list price, locked for 2 years
  • ✓ Free setup help from Steven: connecting Kipu or BestNotes and entering your first authorizations
  • ✓ Your feature requests go to the front of the line
  • ✓ Steven's direct phone and email
What we ask
  • → A 30 minute feedback call once a month
  • → After 60 days, we'll ask for an honest review on G2. Your pricing doesn't depend on it.
  • → If you're happy after 60 days, permission to quote you. No obligation.

Cancel anytime · billed securely via Stripe
