Streamline Your OT Practice with 24/7 AI-Powered Patient Coordination
Stop losing $10,000 family accounts to voicemail. Our AI agent integrates with Fusion and WebPT to manage recurring bookings, authorization alerts, and parent communications.
Occupational therapy practices, particularly those specializing in pediatrics or neuro-rehabilitation, face a unique 'scheduling tetris' challenge. With a typical Plan of Care (POC) requiring 12 to 24 recurring visits, a single missed call from a frustrated parent can result in the loss of a family account valued at $5,000 to $10,000 annually. Clinic managers are often buried in 'Authorization Lag'—the gap between a doctor's referral and insurance approval—while simultaneously trying to coordinate with school districts and IEP requirements.
Read Laboratories provides a voice-AI solution that understands the nuance of OT billing codes and the critical nature of authorization windows. Unlike generic answering services, our agent knows the difference between an initial evaluation and a standard therapeutic session. By automating the intake and scheduling process, your OTR/Ls and COTAs can focus on patient outcomes rather than administrative friction.
Problems We Solve
Authorization Expiration Gaps
The AI monitors your EMR for upcoming authorization expirations and proactively calls parents to schedule the next re-eval, preventing unpaid sessions and treatment gaps.
The After-School Call Surge
Handle the 3:30 PM rush of parents calling to reschedule pediatric sessions simultaneously without needing to hire additional front-desk staff.
Complex Recurring Scheduling
Our agent can book 12-week recurring blocks in Fusion Web Clinic or WebPT, ensuring the patient's spot is secured throughout their entire Plan of Care.
IEP and School Coordination
The AI can intake school-based service details and relay them to the treating therapist, ensuring private therapy aligns with school-provided accommodations.
Missed New Patient Leads
New referrals often call multiple clinics; our AI answers on the first ring, performs initial HIPAA-compliant intake, and schedules the evaluation immediately.
