Automate Your Speech Therapy Practice Workflows
Stop chasing insurance authorizations and manual IEP schedules. We build HIPAA-compliant automation for SLP owners to recover 10+ hours of admin time weekly.
In the speech-language pathology sector, administrative overhead often consumes 30% of a clinician's billable potential. Between tracking 6-month insurance authorization windows and coordinating parent training sessions, SLP practice owners are frequently overwhelmed by non-clinical tasks. With session rates averaging $100-$175, every hour spent manually updating TheraPlatform or Fusion Web Clinic is a direct hit to the bottom line.
The stakes are high: missing a single intake call for a child requiring 2x/week therapy results in a loss of over $15,000 in annual revenue. Furthermore, the complexity of coordinating with school districts for IEP meetings and maintaining state licensing compliance requires a level of precision that manual spreadsheets simply cannot provide. Read Laboratories bridges this gap by integrating your EHR with custom automation layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my existing EHR like Fusion or SimplePractice?
Yes. We specialize in building 'wrappers' around industry-standard EHRs. Whether via direct API or secure webhooks, we ensure data flows between your clinical records and your automation stack.
Is the automation HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and use only HIPAA-compliant software like AWS HealthLake, JotForm Enterprise, or secure email relays to ensure PHI is protected.
Can you automate the delivery of home programs?
Yes. We can trigger specific email or SMS sequences based on the 'Type of Service' or diagnosis code entered in your billing system, providing parents with immediate, relevant resources.
How do you handle state SLP licensing requirements?
Our systems can be configured to track clinician CEUs and license expiration dates, sending alerts to the practice owner 90 days before a renewal is required to ensure no lapse in service.
Can this help with school district IEP meeting coordination?
Yes. We can create a dedicated portal or automated scheduling flow that allows school coordinators to see 'available blocks' specifically designated for IEPs without exposing your full clinical calendar.
What happens if our workflow changes next year?
Our monthly support includes 'Workflow Evolution' where we adjust your automations as you add new clinicians, move to a different EHR, or expand into new therapy areas like OT or PT.
