Automate Diabetic Recalls and Surgical Intake with Custom Podiatry AI
Stop losing high-value diabetic foot care revenue to manual administrative gaps. We integrate custom AI into ModMed and DrChrono to automate patient outreach and insurance pre-auth.
Podiatry practices often struggle with the 'leaky bucket' of diabetic patient management. A single diabetic patient represents $3,000 to $5,000 in annual recurring revenue through routine debridement, exams, and orthotics. However, manual recall systems often result in a 25% lapse rate. Furthermore, the administrative burden of Medicare's strict documentation for diabetic shoes and surgical pre-authorizations frequently slows down clinical throughput and delays reimbursement.
Read Laboratories bridges this gap by deploying AI agents that interface directly with EHRs like ModMed, Athenahealth, and eClinicalWorks. We don't just send generic reminders; we deploy intelligent systems that handle complex scheduling, verify insurance eligibility for custom orthotics, and ensure Medicare compliance documentation is flagged and completed before the patient enters the exam room.
Problems We Solve
Diabetic Patient Attrition
Our AI monitors patient records to identify those nearing their 61-day or 91-day Medicare recall window, initiating personalized outreach to book appointments automatically.
Insurance Pre-Authorization Delays
Automate the scraping of insurance portals to confirm eligibility for custom orthotics (L3000) and surgical procedures, reducing administrative wait times by up to 70%.
Manual Surgical Intake Bottlenecks
AI-driven intake forms pre-populate surgical consultation notes in your EHR, screening for comorbidities and ensuring all pre-op clearances are tracked.
Orthotics Lifecycle Management
Automatically track the 90-day break-in period for new orthotics and trigger replacement alerts at the 12-month mark to ensure patient comfort and practice revenue.
After-Hours Triage & Scheduling
AI voice and chat assistants handle urgent post-operative questions and book emergency appointments without requiring on-call staff intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI integrate with my current EHR like ModMed?
We utilize secure API hooks or RPA (Robotic Process Automation) to pull patient lists and update appointment statuses without requiring your staff to perform manual data entry.
Is the AI integration HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. All data processing occurs within BAA-compliant environments with end-to-end encryption. We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every medical practice.
Can it handle Medicare's specific diabetic shoe requirements?
Yes, the AI can be programmed to verify that the required MD/DO certification and clinical notes are present in the chart before scheduling the fitting appointment.
Does this replace my front desk staff?
No, it empowers them. By automating the repetitive recall and pre-auth tasks, your staff can focus on in-office patient care and complex billing issues.
How long does it take to go live?
A typical podiatry integration, including EHR connection and custom workflow training, is fully operational within 4 to 6 weeks.
Can the AI handle surgical scheduling for multiple locations?
Yes, our system can manage complex multi-provider, multi-location calendars and coordinate availability with external surgical centers.
