Turn Website Visitors into High-Value Podiatry Patients
Automate diabetic foot care recalls and surgical consultations with a HIPAA-compliant AI chatbot that integrates directly with ModMed and DrChrono.
Podiatry practices operate on a unique mix of high-volume routine care and specialized surgical procedures. A single missed diabetic recall appointment doesn't just risk a patient's limb health; it represents a loss of $3,000 to $5,000 in annual recurring revenue per patient from routine debridement and Medicare-compliant diabetic shoe programs. Many practices struggle with 'leaky buckets' where 20-30% of patients fail to schedule their 90-day follow-ups.
Furthermore, front desk staff are often overwhelmed by repetitive inquiries regarding insurance pre-authorizations for custom orthotics or surgical pre-op requirements. By deploying an AI chatbot, practices can automate the intake of surgical candidates for bunionectomies or hammertoe corrections while ensuring that routine diabetic foot care patients remain on the schedule without manual staff intervention.
Problems We Solve
Diabetic Recall Management
Stop losing $5K/year per patient. Our AI proactively engages patients for their mandatory 90-day diabetic foot exams and shoe program renewals.
Surgical Consultation Friction
Pre-qualify surgical leads for procedures like Lapiplasty or MIS bunion surgery by collecting history and symptoms before they ever call the office.
Insurance Pre-Auth Bottlenecks
The bot collects essential insurance data and Medicare-required documentation for diabetic shoes, reducing the back-and-forth for your billing team.
After-Hours Patient Loss
Patients searching for foot pain relief at 9 PM can book appointments or leave detailed triage info immediately, rather than calling a competitor the next morning.
Orthotics Follow-up Gaps
Automatically schedule the critical 2-week and 6-week orthotics adjustment appointments to ensure patient satisfaction and reduce refund requests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the chatbot HIPAA compliant?
Yes. We implement enterprise-grade encryption and provide a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to ensure all patient data captured meets HIPAA and state podiatry board standards.
Can it integrate with ModMed or DrChrono?
Absolutely. We specialize in connecting our AI to common Podiatry EHRs like ModMed, DrChrono, and eClinicalWorks to push patient data and schedule appointments directly.
How does it handle emergency foot trauma?
The bot uses triage logic. If a patient mentions symptoms of severe infection, deep ulcers, or trauma, it immediately provides your emergency contact instructions.
Can it help with Medicare diabetic shoe requirements?
Yes, the bot can be programmed to ask the specific qualifying questions required by Medicare, ensuring patients are prepared with the right documentation for their visit.
Does this replace my front desk staff?
No, it empowers them. By handling 30-40% of routine inquiries and scheduling, your staff can focus on providing high-quality care to the patients physically in your clinic.
How long does setup take?
A typical implementation for a podiatry practice takes 2 to 4 weeks, including custom workflow design and EHR integration testing.
