Automated Patient Recalls & Surgical Workflows for Podiatry
Stop losing high-value diabetic patients to administrative gaps. We integrate with ModMed and DrChrono to automate your clinic's most repetitive tasks.
Podiatry practices face unique challenges in managing high-volume, recurring patient cycles, particularly regarding Medicare-compliant diabetic foot care. Missing a 90-day recall for a diabetic patient doesn't just risk the patient's health; it represents a loss of $3,000 to $5,000 in annual recurring revenue per patient. When your medical assistants are bogged down by manual insurance pre-authorizations for bunionectomies or orthotic fittings, patient care and practice growth suffer.
Read Laboratories builds custom automation layers that sit on top of your existing EHR like ModMed (EMA) or eClinicalWorks. We focus on the 'leaky' parts of the podiatry funnel: surgical consultation follow-ups, Medicare diabetic shoe documentation cycles, and orthotic dispensing check-ins. By automating these touchpoints, your practice can maintain a full schedule without increasing your administrative headcount.
Problems We Solve
Diabetic Patient Leakage
Automatically identifies diabetic patients who haven't had a limb salvage screening in 90 days and triggers personalized SMS/email booking links.
Surgical Pre-Auth Bottlenecks
Streamlines the collection of labs, clearances, and insurance documentation for foot and ankle surgeries, reducing manual follow-up time by 70%.
Orthotic Dispensing Friction
Automates the 30-day follow-up sequence after orthotic dispensing to ensure patient satisfaction and capture necessary clinical documentation for billing.
Manual EHR Data Entry
Eliminates double-entry by syncing digital patient intake forms directly with NexGen or Athenahealth patient charts.
What You Get
EHR Bi-Directional Sync
Deep integration with ModMed, DrChrono, and eClinicalWorks to ensure patient data is always current.
Diabetic Shoe Cycle Tracker
Automated triggers for the annual Medicare diabetic shoe replacement cycle to maximize DME revenue.
HIPAA-Compliant Intake
Secure mobile-friendly forms for surgical consent and medical history that update the EHR automatically.
Surgical Pipeline Dashboard

By recovering just 3 'lost' diabetic recall patients per month, the system pays for itself in 45 days while adding $12k+ in annual revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace our current EHR like ModMed?
No, we do not replace your EHR. We build automation layers that work with ModMed, DrChrono, or NexGen to handle the tasks those systems don't do well, like persistent patient follow-up.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance?
All our automation workflows are built on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. We sign BAAs (Business Associate Agreements) and use end-to-end encryption for all patient-identifiable data.
Can you automate Medicare diabetic shoe documentation?
Yes. We can automate the reminders for the MD/DO co-signature and the timing of the clinical foot exam to ensure you meet all Medicare DME requirements for billing.
Will this work for a multi-location podiatry group?
Absolutely. Our systems are designed to scale, allowing you to manage multiple providers and locations from a single automation dashboard.
How long does it take to get up and running?
A typical podiatry automation build-out takes 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the complexity of your EHR integration and specific clinical workflows.
