Automate Podiatry Data Entry: Focus on Patient Feet, Not Paperwork
Eliminate the manual burden of insurance pre-authorizations and diabetic recall management with HIPAA-compliant AI built for ModMed and DrChrono.
Podiatry practices face a unique administrative burden, particularly regarding the Medicare Diabetic Shoe Program and recurring diabetic foot exams. Each patient requires specific documentation—including a certifying physician statement and a recent foot exam note—to meet CMS compliance. Managing these documents manually often leads to missed recalls and lost revenue, frequently totaling over $4,000 per patient annually in recurring care and custom orthotics.
Furthermore, surgical practices struggle with the intake of complex imaging reports and external referrals that sit in fax queues. By implementing AI document processing, practices can instantly extract data from external lab results, X-ray reports, and insurance forms, syncing them directly into EHRs like ModMed, eClinicalWorks, or Athenahealth without manual typing. This ensures that high-value surgical consultations are scheduled immediately rather than being buried under a mountain of paperwork.
Problems We Solve
Diabetic Recall Revenue Leakage
AI monitors your EHR to identify patients due for 90-day diabetic foot checks, automatically flagging those missing the required Certifying Physician Statement (CPS).
Insurance Pre-Authorization Delays
Automate the extraction of clinical notes and ICD-10 codes required for prior authorizations for custom orthotics and reconstructive foot surgeries.
Manual EHR Transcription Errors
Eliminate the need for staff to manually type external imaging reports (MRI/X-ray) into ModMed or DrChrono fields, reducing clinical errors.
Medicare Compliance Risk
The AI automatically audits incoming diabetic shoe forms for required signatures and dates, ensuring you are audit-ready before billing Medicare.
Surgical Intake Bottlenecks
Process incoming referral faxes instantly, categorizing urgency based on clinical keywords like 'gangrene,' 'charcot,' or 'acute fracture' for immediate triage.
What You Get
Native EHR Integration
Seamlessly pushes extracted data into ModMed, DrChrono, and NexGen via secure API or RPA protocols.
Diabetic Shoe Form Auditor
AI scans incoming Certifying Physician Statements (CPS) for all 5 Medicare-required elements before they hit the doctor's desk.

Yes, all processing occurs on SOC2 Type II and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every podiatry practice we serve.
Does it work with ModMed (Modernizing Medicine)?
Absolutely. We specialize in mapping extracted data directly into ModMed’s structured fields, including the 'Chief Complaint' and 'Plan' sections.
How does the AI handle handwritten surgical notes?
Our system uses advanced Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) to interpret physician handwriting on intake forms and surgical logs with over 95% accuracy.
Can it help with Medicare audits for therapeutic shoes?
Yes. The system creates a digital audit trail, ensuring every billed diabetic shoe order has the required documentation and clinical notes attached in the EHR.
What is the typical turnaround time for setup?
Most podiatry practices are fully automated within 3 to 5 weeks, including the custom mapping of your specific insurance forms and EHR templates.
Do we need to change our current fax provider?
No. We can pull documents directly from your existing digital fax service like RingCentral, eFax, or directly from your local scanner folder.
