Census CRM vs Pega Customer Service

Census CRM is a web-based customer relationship system for addiction treatment and behavioral health admissions teams. Its workflow uses Qualification, Approval, and Commitment stages, with a 14-step guided qualification process that branches dynamically and screens for substance, mental-health, and safety factors. Benefits are verified in real time and classified as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW risk. Facility matching considers level of care, bed availability, insurance acceptance, exclusions, and specialty programs. Listed connections include CallRail, CTM, Twilio, Google Ads, Meta Ads, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Kipu, and Sunwave. Census CRM sends admission records to EMR systems such as Kipu and Sunwave but does not perform clinical charting. Security includes encryption, audit logging, session timeout, reauthentication, and five role-based access levels. The company states HIPAA compliance and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance. Pricing is on request, with a scoped onboarding fee for implementation, migration, and training.
