Built for behavioral health and substance use treatment centers. Your outreach person logs every referral partner call and visit in seconds; you see exactly how it's going, with no patient data ever touched.

A warm handoff is what happens when a referral comes with a relationship behind it, not just a name and a number. That's the whole idea here: helping the person building those relationships stay on top of every one of them.
Most small and mid-size recovery centers have someone out there building referral relationships, and no real system behind them.
Without a record of who's been talked to and when, the next call happens late, or never. A partner notices.
You're paying someone to build and keep up these relationships, and your only way to check in is to ask them how it's going.
It can technically do this job. It's also priced and built for enterprise sales teams, not a one or two person outreach effort at a treatment center.
Built around the job itself: visiting partners, logging the conversation, and keeping the owner in the loop.

Right from a phone, between stops. Works offline, so a dead zone in the parking lot never costs a note.

A map of where your partners are and how things are trending, with every number kept to a safe band, never a raw count.

Partners who haven't been visited in a while get flagged automatically. No commission math, no rep leaderboard, just a clear signal before a relationship goes cold.

See every call and visit your BD person logs, without asking for a status update.

Salesforce can technically track referral partners. Kipu, Sunwave, Alleva, and Ease Health (formerly AZZLY Rize) sell referral and business development CRMs, each bundled inside a much bigger clinical and billing system. Netsmart, Qualifacts, Valant, and PIMSY are full EHRs built around the clinical record and intake. Here's how a dedicated outreach tool actually compares.
| Big EHR / CRM suites | Salesforce / generic CRM | WarmHandoff | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Admissions, billing, and clinical records | Enterprise sales teams | Recovery center referral tracking, specifically |
| Patient data stored | Full clinical and billing record | Whatever you put in, with no guardrails | None, by design. ZIP code and status only |
| Typical cost | Quote-based, and some publish one-time implementation fees | Priced per user, with an annual contract from Pro Suite up | From $99/month. See pricing |
| Setup time | Weeks to months of implementation and training | Weeks of configuration to bend it to this job | Ready to use from day one |
Salesforce isn't a bad tool. It's just not built, or priced, for a small outreach team at a 40-bed treatment center. For one to four outreach reps and an owner who reviews their work, WarmHandoff costs 46% to 55% as much as Salesforce Pro Suite, the first tier with custom objects and full offline mobile, where the owner needs a seat too: $99 to $276 a month against $200 to $500, month to month instead of on an annual contract. Three reps and an owner, for example, are $207 a month on WarmHandoff and $400 on Pro Suite, before adding Salesforce Maps, from $75 per user per month, for a territory view. Salesforce's Core edition, which replaced Enterprise in September 2026, is $195 per user per month. Salesforce figures are its published US list prices as of October 2026.
Priced per outreach seat, not per login. Owners, executive directors, and managers who review the work are always free, because you shouldn't pay to check in on the people you're already paying.
For the one person doing it all, owner, outreach, and everything between.
For a real outreach team. Two seat minimum, volume pricing for larger teams on request.
Seats are counted by what a person does, not by their title. Anyone who logs more than ten visits, calls, or other contacts in a calendar month is an outreach seat. Both plans are billed month to month, with no annual contract.
Any system that stores a referred person's name, contact info, or treatment details has to deal with strict rules under 42 CFR Part 2. We skip that problem entirely: we never collect that information in the first place.
This describes our software's design, not legal advice. Review how it fits your program with your own compliance counsel.
No name, address, date of birth, phone number, or email on the referred side. ZIP code and disposition only.
Every referral count below 11 is suppressed everywhere it appears: in the app, in reports, and in every API response.
No commission calculations and no rep leaderboards. A territory planning tool, never a compensation engine.
If you're a small or mid-size recovery or addiction treatment center with one person, or a small team, responsible for referral relationships, this is built for you. Even if that's a team of one.
Owns the referral pipeline across every location and needs one view of where coverage is thin.
Plans a route around high-value accounts and needs a record of every touchpoint, not a memory of one.
The main point of contact for a set of referral sources, and the first to know when one goes quiet.
Wants to know what the person they're paying to build referral relationships is actually doing, without having to ask for a status update.
No. WarmHandoff has no clinical record, no billing, and no admissions workflow. It runs alongside whatever EHR you already use and focuses only on referral partner relationships.
WarmHandoff is designed never to hold protected health information. The referred side of the product stores only a ZIP code, a disposition, and dates, never a name, address, date of birth, phone number, or email, and any count under 11 is suppressed everywhere. Visit notes are free text about professional contacts, and the form tells your team never to write anything about a client there. Built that way, it is not designed to need a business associate agreement, and we don't offer one for it. Your own counsel should confirm how it fits your program.
Salesforce can do this job once it's configured for it, but the first tier that can, Pro Suite, needs an annual contract and charges for every user, so an owner who just wants to review the team's work usually needs a paid seat too. A spreadsheet has no territory map, no going-cold flags, and no mobile logging for a rep out in the field. WarmHandoff is built just for this job, billed month to month, and owners and managers who review the work are free.
Yes. Every call and visit they log shows up for you automatically, including who they've talked to and when, so you don't have to ask for a report to find out.
No, by design. Referral counts exist for territory planning, not for ranking reps or calculating payouts.
$99 a month for a single outreach seat, or $69 per outreach seat for a team of two or more, billed month to month with no annual contract. Seats are counted by what a person does, not by their title: anyone who logs more than ten visits, calls, or other contacts in a calendar month is an outreach seat. Everyone else, such as an owner, executive director, or manager who reviews the work, is free, with no limit.
Multi-location behavioral health and substance use treatment providers with a dedicated business development or outreach function, as well as single-location centers with one person doing it all.
"Our business development person finally has one place to log every call and visit, and I can see exactly who they've talked to without asking for a weekly report."
