A CRM Built for MAT Programs
Census CRM is the behavioral health admissions CRM for MAT programs. It helps you verify coverage and get patients into treatment faster, so a program where timing and insurance both matter does not lose people at the front door.

Where MAT admissions break down
Census CRM was built for how MAT admissions actually work. A call about medication-assisted treatment is time-sensitive, because a patient ready today may not be ready tomorrow, and coverage for MAT is often the first thing that decides whether they can start.
On the phones, that is where patients get lost. One coordinator checks insurance fast, another lets it sit, and a ready patient drifts away while the details get sorted. Most teams run this on spreadsheets or a general CRM that was never built for treatment admissions.
In the back office, owners spend on marketing to reach these patients but cannot see which ads and referrals actually bring them into the program.
How Census CRM helps MAT programs
Census CRM turns MAT admissions into one repeatable process, across three steps: admissions, conversion, and attribution.
Admissions
Census CRM runs every lead through one pipeline with three stages, Qualification, Approval, and Commitment, so a ready MAT patient never slips through the cracks.
Conversion
Census CRM guides each coordinator through the call with a 14-step talk-track, verifies insurance in minutes, runs an ASAM pre-screen for a level-of-care read, and matches the patient to an open spot, all without leaving the CRM.
Attribution
Census CRM tracks each lead from the first ad click to the admission, so owners see which channels and referrals actually fill the MAT program.
What you get
Census CRM gives MAT programs a fast, consistent way to get patients in.
Insurance verification in minutes
Real-time checks with HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW risk flags, so coverage does not stall a ready patient.
Guided intake
A 14-step talk-track keeps a sensitive MAT call on track, even for a new hire.
ASAM pre-screen
A 6-Dimension pre-screen returns a level-of-care read for the patient.
Specialty matching
MAT is one of the programs Census CRM matches patients to, alongside dual diagnosis and trauma.

Built for MAT admissions
Census CRM is built only for behavioral health admissions, so it handles the intake side of a MAT program without getting in the clinician's way. It manages the call, the coverage check, and the placement, then hands off to your EMR. It is not an EMR, and it does not handle dosing, medication management, or clinical charting.
MAT records carry an extra layer of sensitivity, and the system is protected from day one to match — HIPAA, TCPA-safe texting, encryption, audit logs, and role-based access protect that data the same way from the first call to the handoff. You get exactly what you need for admissions and nothing you do not.
Why MAT programs choose Census CRM
Census CRM comes with the admissions process already built in, which matters when coverage and timing decide whether a patient starts. Most CRMs are empty, so you build the whole process yourself, and a MAT patient will not wait for that.
The founders built this knowing how little margin a MAT admission has. Co-founder Jay Ong ran admissions at American Addiction Centers — 60,000+ calls and 1,200+ placements a month — including the time-sensitive coverage checks a MAT patient needs before their window to start closes. Co-founder Dean Scaduto owns a treatment center and built Census CRM around exactly that kind of urgency.
For an owner, that means more ready patients started, less wasted ad spend, and a process any coordinator can run from day one.
Works with your tools
Census CRM works with the tools your MAT program already runs. It connects with CallRail, CTM, and Twilio for calls, and Google Ads and Meta Ads for your campaigns, so every lead and its source lands in the CRM automatically.
When a patient is admitted, Census CRM hands the record off cleanly to your EMR, including systems like Kipu and Sunwave.

MAT admissions software FAQs
Why is insurance verification more time-critical for a MAT inquiry than for other admissions calls?
Insurance verification is more time-critical for a MAT inquiry because a patient ready today for medication-assisted treatment may not be ready tomorrow, and coverage is often the first thing that decides whether they can start. Census CRM runs a real-time check during the call and returns a HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW risk flag in minutes, so that window does not close while coverage gets sorted.
Why do MAT leads slip away even when the call itself goes well?
MAT leads slip away even after a good call when coverage checks are handled inconsistently, one coordinator verifies insurance fast while another lets it sit, and a patient ready to start drifts away in the gap. Census CRM puts every MAT lead on one pipeline with three stages, Qualification, Approval, and Commitment, so the same follow-up happens regardless of who answered the phone.
What does an ASAM pre-screen surface before a caller is placed in a MAT program instead of another level of care?
An ASAM pre-screen surfaces a level-of-care read so staff can see whether medication-assisted treatment likely fits, since MAT is only right for some callers. Census CRM runs a 6-Dimension ASAM pre-screen on the call itself and matches the patient to MAT, dual diagnosis, or trauma programming based on that read, without the coordinator leaving the CRM.
Where does Census CRM's role end once a MAT patient is admitted?
Census CRM's role ends at admission: it handles the call, the coverage check, and the placement, then hands the record off to the EMR, so it never manages dosing, medication management, or clinical charting. That handoff to systems like Kipu and Sunwave keeps clinical ownership with the EMR while Census CRM owns the intake side.
How do MAT program owners see which ad channels or referral sources actually fill their program, not just generate calls?
MAT program owners see which ad channels or referral sources actually fill their program because Census CRM tracks each lead from the first ad click through to the admission, not just to the inquiry. That visibility shows owners which channels and referrals actually bring MAT patients in, so ad spend can move toward what works.
Does Census CRM only handle MAT, or does it cover other levels of care too?
Census CRM handles MAT as one of several programs it matches patients to, alongside dual diagnosis and trauma, rather than treating MAT as a single fixed track. Its pre-screen and matching route each caller to the program that fits their level of care, so a MAT-specific inquiry is not forced into a generic behavioral health flow.
