Healthcare professionals spend nearly two hours on documentation and desk work for every hour of direct patient care. Tell us about your week and we will estimate the hours BastionGPT could hand back to you, and what those hours are worth.
Typical for therapists and counselors: 15 min per session note
Treatment plans, letters, prior auths, patient education, emails
Defaults come from published compensation data for your field
Our default of 60% assumes BastionGPT drafts and you review and sign
For a caseload of 25 sessions a week, most of the win comes from progress notes that draft themselves from your template, ready for your sign-off.
Estimates use the assumptions shown here and explained below. BastionGPT drafts, you decide: it is designed to support your professional judgment, never to replace it, and you review everything it writes.
The estimate is deliberately simple, and every assumption is visible and adjustable above.
Visits per week × minutes of documentation per visit, plus your other clinical writing hours. Defaults for each practice area come from published time studies and conversations with working professionals.
We model a 60 percent reduction in note time when BastionGPT drafts from your template or dictation and you review, edit, and sign. Published evaluations of AI documentation assistants report reductions from roughly half to three quarters, so 60 percent is a middle estimate.
We model a 40 percent reduction for treatment plans, letters, prior authorizations, and patient education: you still shape the content, you just skip the blank page.
Hours saved × the value of your time. Defaults use published compensation data for your field; set your own rate for a personal figure. The payback tile compares against BastionGPT at $20 per month.

Using the calculator's default assumptions, a full-time caseload could get back roughly 5 to 10 hours of writing time each week with BastionGPT.
| Practice type | Typical week | Hours saved / week | Hours saved / year | Value / year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Therapist or CounselorLPC, LMFT, LCSW | 25 sessions · 15 min notes | 5.0 h | ≈ 228 h | ≈ $17,100at $75/h |
| Psychologisttherapy and assessment | 22 sessions · 18 min notes | 6.0 h | ≈ 274 h | ≈ $27,400at $100/h |
| Psychiatrist or Psychiatric NP | 45 visits · 10 min notes | 6.1 h | ≈ 281 h | ≈ $42,100at $150/h |
| Primary CareMD, DO, NP, PA | 85 visits · 9 min notes | 10.1 h | ≈ 462 h | ≈ $57,800at $125/h |

Note drafting is where the hours show up first. The rest of your writing week comes along with it.

Hours of EHR and desk work for every hour of direct patient care
Annals of Internal Medicine, 2016 (Sinsky et al.)Average time per week US physicians report spending on paperwork and administration
Medscape Physician Compensation ReportDocumentation consistently ranks among the leading drivers of burnout for healthcare professionals
AMA burnout researchTime-motion research puts it near two hours of EHR and desk work for every hour of direct patient care. For a full behavioral health caseload, notes and other clinical writing commonly take 6 to 10 hours a week.
Using this calculator's assumptions, a full-time caseload typically lands between 4 and 8 hours a week. Your number depends on visit volume, note length, and how much other writing your week carries, which is why every assumption above is adjustable.
Yes. BastionGPT is built for HIPAA compliance, includes a Business Associate Agreement, and your data and PHI are never used to train AI models.
An AI scribe listens to a visit and drafts the note. BastionGPT does that work and keeps going: treatment plans, prior authorization letters, patient education, clinical questions, and the rest of the week's writing, in one HIPAA-compliant assistant.
Plans start at $20 per month. Using the calculator's defaults, most full caseloads recover the annual subscription cost within the first week or two of use.
No new systems are required. BastionGPT runs in your browser and works alongside the tools you already use. You choose what to bring into it, and you review everything it drafts.
Start with the note you dread most. BastionGPT drafts it from your template in seconds, and you stay the author.
Estimates on this page are illustrative, based on the assumptions shown, and are not a guarantee of individual results. BastionGPT is designed to support professional judgment, never to replace it; you review and approve everything it drafts.
