Kipu Health API
Roughly 41 APIs exist, but keys are issued only to Kipu clients or developers working with one. There is no self-serve developer portal and no public SDKs; access starts with a request process tied to the client relationship.
Frequently asked questions
Kipu Health scores F on the API Report Card. Roughly 41 APIs exist, but keys are issued only to Kipu clients or developers working with one. There is no self-serve developer portal and no public SDKs; access starts with a request process tied to the client relationship.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Kipu Health is a cloud-based EMR/EHR purpose-built for behavioral health, substance-use-disorder (SUD), and addiction-treatment providers. It covers clinical documentation, patient management, e-MAR/medication administration, treatment planning, CRM, and revenue-cycle/billing ("billing sweeps").
Healthcare / Behavioral Health EHR, Typically for addiction-treatment centers, SUD residential programs, mental-health clinics, and specialty behavioral-health providers. Clinicians document progress notes, run treatment plans and medication administration, manage admissions/census, and bill payers through Kipu's RCM tooling. It is the operational backbone of a treatment center.
Widely regarded as a leading EMR for SUD/behavioral treatment centers; strong Capterra footprint and recognized brand in the niche. "Nearly one million messages" exchanged via its interfaces, per vendor materials.
Yes, patient clinical records, treatment plans, medication administration, census/admissions, and billing/RCM data. This is the treatment center's system-of-record.
~13 years old, founded ~2012. Cloud-based and actively developed, but users report performance lag and workflow gaps.
Integration limitations / lack of automatic data sync between modules. Access gated behind client/partner relationship and API-key request process. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Kipu Health API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Kipu Health data. See the Kipu Health integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/kipu-health-api.
